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.

        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.

      You think aliens are actually piloting the craft that come all this way?

      You’re never gonna see an alien body because they aren’t here.

      Bet we’ve got a drone or two of theirs tho.

          Dkarma’s comment requires context. They think aliens have visited Earth. They presume people who don’t agree with them expect that if aliens had visited Earth, some would have been shot down and alien bodies would have been recovered

              It has nothing to do with the post. I believe the post inspired dkarma to work out that brand new argument that there are no alien bodies (at area 51 probably) because the aliens would use drones
