The aircraft flew up to speeds of 1,200mph. DARPA did not reveal which aircraft won the dogfight.

In 2020, so-called "AI agents" defeated human pilots in simulations in all five of their match-ups - but the technology needed to be run for real in the air.

It did not reveal which aircraft won the dogfight.

I'm gonna guess the AI won.

I was actually assuming the opposite, because if the AI won they'd want to brag about it.

Bragging just means more money flowing to enemies’ research programs. When a fight is inevitable you want to appear as weak as possible to prevent your enemy from taking it seriously.

No way we give up that information for free. Either way it went, the knowledge of it cost a lot to gain and is useful. If it failed you want your enemy wasting money on it. If it succeeded you want your enemy not investing in it.

Hahaha how the fuck is AI going to win in air-to-air combat if we completely delete them when playing Ace Combat in the highest difficulty?

Seethe, AI tech bros.

I know right. Aimbots have been around for years.

Tech bros are probably patting themselves in the back for 'inventing' difficulty Normal++

So instead of Ai vs human fight... It's like human vs time to hack?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, time to add aimbots in the human player fighter jet to make the tech bros seethe in anger even more.

We'll just start using airburst EMPs

Or it had a fatal error and crashed the plane
