This AI-controlled jet fighter has now flown against human pilots

An AI test pilot has successfully flown a jet fighter in dogfights against human opponents. It's the latest development for DARPA's Air Combat Evaluation program, which is trying to develop aerospace AI agents that can be trusted to perform safely.

Human test pilots have a bit of a reputation thanks to popular culture—from The Right Stuff to Top Gun: Maverick, the profession has been portrayed as a place for loose cannons with a desire to go fast and break the rules. The reality is pretty far from that these days, especially where DARPA is concerned.

The agency instead wants a machine-learning agent that can safely fly a real aircraft autonomously, with no violations of training rules. After all, neural networks have their own reputation—at this point well-earned—for finding ways to exploit situations that hadn't occurred to humans. And the consequences when controlling a real jet fighter can be a lot more severe than just testing in silico.

Given that 70% of the snotty nosed kids these days are not fit to climb into the cockpit of a combat aircraft - half would be wheezing and out of breath just climbing the boarding ladder - and the aggressive, world police posture the political caste have had us steeped in for at least the last 40 years, is it any great surprise the military is looking into handing the keys to F-16s over to a box of computer chips?

Yes, this is just what we need to do. Hand over the defense of our country into the hands of a bunch of retards I wouldn't trust with a Potatoe gun. And yes i did steal that quote from the movie "Armageddon" and I at least got to meet the guy who said it.
