Earlier this month, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall made history, riding in the cockpit of an AI-piloted F-16 Fighting Falcon through a series of simulated close-quarters air-to-air engagements, more commonly known as good old-fashioned dogfights.
According to Kendall, the AI in control of his aircraft was evenly matched with the human F-16 pilot it was squaring off against, and we're not talking about any ordinary pilot... We're talking about an Air Force Test Pilot with thousands of hours logged in that specific fighter.
This has spurred a great deal of discussion about the implications of AI in combat, much of which has centered around concerns that the systems we devise to wage war for us, may ultimately wage war on us instead.
So in Part 1 of our dive into this topic, let's talk about what AI really is, including what it's capable of, and what it isn't.

This is your best video yet good sir 🫡🇺🇸
Hi Alex, love your work brother... One thing you didn't cover here was the fact that without a human in the seat the plane will be able to perform in G spectrums that are currently impossible with a pilot aboard... Tighter turns, crazy neg to pos turns and in doing so will gain a crazy advantage in a dog fight...
Over the course of history, several advancements have accelerated the pace of technological developments. First it was primitive tools, then fire, then language, then agriculture, then government, then roads, then writing, then the bronze age, then the Iron age, then the firearm, then the printing press, then the industrial revolution, then the telegraph, then the light bulb, then the automobile, then the aeroplane, then the computer, then the atomic bomb, then the semiconductor, then the personal computer, then the internet, then social media, then LLM AI.
With every innovation, the acceleration increases and now when the innovations are being made without the slowest piece of the puzzle which was the human inventor, why should we think that human estimates for a general AI timeline are accurate? We are now following Moore's law which is exponential growth and we might exceed that if AI gets better at training AI than humans. That should be pretty easy because AI never gets tired, AI never goes to sleep, AI never needs a bathroom break, etc. We will also use that exponential growth to constantly have more AIs training more AIs.
If it hasn't happened already, pretty soon all we will be doing is guiding the training of AIs, building more AI computers and setting them up to train more AIs.
It's only a question of when our innovation switches from social media speed to AI speed...
Hahha you do not do military developments around the world on Sandboxx liar. Australia MQ28A Ghost Bat, Australia Hypersonixs scramjet powered hypersonic drones only 300 days until it's first flight. Australia AI drones. lot's you never mention.
nothing will beat an AI fighter simply because whatever the AI fighter can do that a human can't do will determine that
Naming an AI millitary program fuckin SkyBorg is the equivalent to naming an ocean liner The TitanicLusitania.
We need to find Sarah Connor and protect her
Or a car the FieroPinto.
So the enemy it will be a fusion from terminator and star trek, coooool ahahahahha
Nah, they knew exactly what they were doing here. Everyone currently in positions of influence today grew up with the Terminator movies and Star Trek: TNG. This is black humor at its finest, and I love it.
Except one mimics fiction and the other historical events.
DARPA sees “Terminator” as less of a warning, and more of a shopping list.
so uhhh I want some of those T-800s, a couple of those T-1000s....
Ai is not that dangerous don't take sci fi movies as an example
Imagine all those aircraft in the military aircraft boneyard being resurrected into Zombie Squadrons.
Good idea…cheaper and more numerous in a shorter time period.
Ive talked about it before but ive heard every fighter plane at leaat has a system where if a pilot goes rogue, the U.S givernment has a program where they can override the plane and contril it from somehwere else. Say a pilot is abiut to do anothwr 9/11 or somw shit. They can take the jet over and fly it back to base or wherever as if its an unmanned drone. Id inagine the same system would be in these as well
Aaaiirplaaane braaaains!
@@MrSeanman30 Yes they can log in to the rogue plane from the refueling port and inject sugar to ruin the jet.
that would be more badass than having the surprise element of ufo tech
"What happens if the Air Force's AI fighter jets GO ROGUE" - they run out of bombs, bullets, fuel, and become lawn darts.
True but like, before that part...
Yes.
@@anthonydunn729also yes.
That simply means a human has made a mistake somewhere.
And probably gets remotely deactivated before that. There could even be a primitive homerun system installed that take over if the AI misbehave. Such systems are already standard in many drones. Loose control of the drone and it goes home on its own. A skilled operator do not program the home point at his feet. A jammed drone could be followed when returning home after all.
"They don't get tired, they don't get scared, they're relentless..."
It sends shivers down your spine...
You realize that describes humans also.
Eh, I’m sure there’s a kill switch somewhere. If nothing else, you can stop refueling them.
@@GrigoriZhukovhumans very much do get tired
You do realize they still run out of fuel, crew or no crew, right?
@@OtherTheDave AI is already flying tankers. Check with the Navy.
When you consider just how much of a beast the F16 is in a dogfight, and how its main limiting factor is G force on the pilot, this is both awesome and terrifying.
There are masses of F-16's around. Would it be cost effective to somehow lift out the cockpit and replace it with a computer and remote control system?
The F16 is limited to 9g. People can for short durations handle up to 15g. The air frame itself will actually start to bend if you pull to many G's
@@Ilove3SGTE agree, its rated to 9g, but a pilot can only sustain that for 20-30 seconds. An ai aircraft can stay in a 9 g turn for as long as they have airspeed
@@shafty9147 true, but the aircraft can't put enough power into its air speed to sustain that kind of aoa anyway. In a rate fight you only hit 6 or 7 g's max. Too many and you're too slow and the other guy will get behind you.
@@Ilove3SGTE this also would affect high speed maneuver though as well. As speed increases the G force needed to make the same maneuver increase as well, and pilots have to ramp up slowly to resist it. An AI could rapidly change direction while under G force, where as with a human they could break their neck/spine if they made a rapid shift from a right to left turn.
Being able to sacrifice the air craft without having to sacrifice the pilot while also not having remote operated latency issues is gonna be nice
Yep all a great idea right until it turns on you
@@billabonggolkpr
You know literally nothing about software design and AI, clearly.
That's not how code works buddy@@billabonggolkpr
@@harrisonlichtenberg3162 It doesn't help that everyone still incorrectly calls it AI, instead of Machine Learning. Unfortunately, it doesn't help that even Alex has to call them AI just to maintain a narrative the average person can follow along with 😔
Regardless, this guy probably didn't pay much attention to Alex in this video, _or his others_ on the subject... heh
_(just looking at the other comments that display when you click his profile pic, kind of confirms my suspicion)_
Ive talked about it before but ive heard every fighter plane at leaat has a system where if a pilot goes rogue, the U.S givernment has a program where they can override the plane and contril it from somehwere else. Say a pilot is about to do another 9/11 or some shit. They can take the jet over and fly it back to base or wherever as if its an unmanned drone. I imagine the same system would be in these as well
Am a PhD candidate in an AI-aligned area. This video gave a very good explanation of the current state of AI agents and technologies. You have my approval.
FYI, Alex doesn't need your approval. 😉
@@pike100 ok
The greatest benefit of AI combat piloting is _not_ having a squishy human experiencing the flight, not only so they aren't exposed to danger, but also so the fighter doesn't need the cockpit, ejections seats, etc, and so that the air frame can make maneuvers that exceed the g limits of humans
👈It's actually the airframes that have the limits, just saying...
Extracting statistical patterns from large data sets. Thank you Allison Gopnick for that precise definition.
Agreed. How is that different from how our brains work?
An unmanned fighter will beat a crewed airframe every time. The performance envelope of the aircraft with a human in it fights at a huge maneuver disadvantage.
Probably, but how much will dog fighting matter
This hasn't been relevant for years now
Even an unmanned fighter has way worse manueverability than a missile. Especially on an aircraft with high off boresight firing capability.
Yeah, especially an elderly, overweight politician.
If you look at identical designed planes, it doesn't matter much, most often the shear tresholds are below human tolerance levels. However, when not having to support human interface or bodies, the machines can become lighter, aerodynamicly different and thus exceed them. Those developments will suit the 6th and beyond generations the most.
I would say 50/50 chances
Individual narrow AIs have their limitations, but we are in the era of teams of agents. Like a band playing individual instruments together. Or one AI to find a restaurant you like, another to plot a route and another to drive the car there. Each of which already exist.
They can't coordinate on their own. You need a separate AI or algorithm to order individual narrow AIs. Besides that, for it to go rogue, the coordinating AI still need to have at least general intelligence to break out of its confines. Otherwise it doesn't even have the concept of attacking humans.
The one AI to rule them all is both far away and not that far away.
As an AI researcher: thank you for creating such an excellent explanation of AI. Too many people think AI means "Skynet" or something similar instead of realizing we've had AI for decades. It's an incredibly broad term.
We don't have AI. We had advanced categorization and similar psuedo-clever systems. Then we had intelligent systems. We are getting close to pseudo-intelligent autonomous systems that can be marketed. I'm sure that going forwards, major contractors will prioritize safety over profit gleaned from using intelligent systems. Oh, wait. Boeing.
As a commercial analyst who worked on the voice-recognition systems that now monitor you, I can assure you, your failure to appreciate the implementation of technology is just as frightening as drones. Self-generative AI systems are about 15 years away at most.
30 years ago at a class reunion one woman told me her husband worked in AI. I vaguely understood it then.
@@NSGrendel Have you watched the video? It appears not. This is exactly the kind of ignorance I see all the time "We don't have AI" lol. What have I spent the last 20 years working on then? AI, that's what!
Well since this is youtube, we have no idea what you do in life. You could be a sandwich artist for all we know. AI could be bad, it just takes a few bad key strokes, or it deciding one day humans are bad. There is good and bad with everything and fear with something new its always going to be that way. I'm still pissed NASA put our location on a golden record for our future alien overlords to find!
@@rungfang27 I have a PhD in machine learning. It's fine if you don't believe me, all I'm saying is that Sandboxx did a good job with this video. This is me clapping. As for AI being "bad"... well, all software can have bugs and so potentially malfunction, but it can't "go rogue" in the way people think from movies. It just doesn't work that way. The video covered this pretty well, watch it again for the details. Maybe in a few decades rogue AI will be possible, we'll see. Nothing to worry about for now.
“Clout goblin” is some great writing.
For anyone who doesn't understand the difference between a fighting falcon and a viper.
Viper is used by the mechanics and the people who work on these F-16's. The handle viper is not official. In fact, if you go on a military or government webpage. Both the military and the government still call the F-16, the fighting falcon.
It’s the same with the A-10 “Warthog” Thunderbolt II
You did an excellent job describing the various types of AI. As a software developer I get annoyed by the leap to these models being self aware simply because they have become great at taking enormous amounts of data and spitting out a human like response through statistical trickery.
The danger with this technology in military applications is not that it becomes self aware and goes rouge. It is making sure it is shooting down the right target which means having the appropriate level of human interaction with the weapon system.
Australia is at the forefront of AI drones, few systems are in Ukraine war now being used.
Australia MQ28A Ghost Bat is still at the forefront of combat drones and it uses a human as a custodian of it to make sure it does not hit a wrong target. have to wonder how good USA AI is if they are still relying on human pilots inside their versions like this F16. Ghost Bat has no joysticks or any way a human can physically fly it. AI does it all and only input a command by a human.. Turkey Khizelman still has joysticks like a reaper drone too..
@@nedkelly9688 The US is NOT relying on human pilots inside their drones. Get Real! This is a prototype F16 converted to fly with AI and it has flow without people onboard. I've seen videos of it dog fighting with a Gopro as a pilot strapped to the head rest!
@@nedkelly9688 Let us hope the Russians don't capture any and send the software to China to be reverse engineered.
Alex Hollings" skill as a writer should never be overlooked, nor taken for granted. When program content is highly technical, such as is common on this channel, it might be easy to focus so much on the tech that we fail to notice that the language is not only precise, but also artistic. What Mr. Hollings has to say can be said in a lot of different ways, and I love his choices - it is a journalistic style that really works for me. Judging by the awards he has received, it must be working for a lot of people.
This is something I'd expect machine learning to be pretty good at. One thing military aircraft have in spades is excellent sensing equipment and the sky is an unconflicted space - even the busiest airspace is a very clean environment. All of this means there's a lot of good data in, and a lot of training data for the model. It's all a recipe for success. I have almost 15 years experience in macine learning to build statistical models and predict narrow outcomes and I'm pretty skeptical of most things described as AI, but I think the military use for aircraft piloting is a pretty well defined problem - maybe even the best possible problem because of how good the sensing suite is on military aircraft.
I must agree with you, as a computer programmer. I don't use LISP or whatever, but I have background in voice software and other 'stuff'. I would love to learn more about the DARPA sensor interfacing with pilots. Such a huge leap from the old days !
Australia MQ28A Ghost Bat been flying years now in airspace lol and it's main purpose is sensors for military applications, unlike this F16 it uses no human to pilot it ever, no joysticks no cockpit. all programmes and all commands keyed in to control it by programme...
~"We have less to fear from rouge AI than we do from AI functioning as intended". Alex knocked that closing statement out of the park.
*rogue is the correct spelling
23:10 - Thank you. We focus too much on AI going haywire and not enough on it functioning with terrifying perfection.
"MEATBOX" - Instant Classic!
Thank you for bringing a modicum of reason to the AI discussion, Alex. It’s nice to see someone making videos on the platform who is not just running on conditioning, emotion & what they think will generate clicks.
You're wrong about the flight hrs per year. It's at least 49hrs a month that is required to stay mission ready. I racked up 1000hrs within 3yrs. It was war time. After 2500hrs pilots usually are high enough ranked, they end up running squadrons and don't stay mission ready 100% of the time, or are in an admin role.
Alex, I would love to see you interview Annie Jacobsen. Or maybe even do like a monthly or quarterly series on DARPA. Love your work!
As a computer engineer, trust me, nothing that fits in a Viper's cockpit is going to have a singularity, the DeCartes moment of "I think therefore I am, I think". If it does anything really fun, it's going to glitch, then turn into a glider. They'll be find for wild weasel work, and escorts in a fairly permissive environment. Probably not doing CAS.
So they will be like the Cylon raiders
F-16 Avionics Specialist here.
With as often as these fighter aircraft have avionic malfunctions, this tech is going to be very limited in it's role for a very, very long time and quite possible only after the software is installed on a completely bespoke platform completely designed to be a human-less aircraft since the drawing board.
It’s not the current AI that concerns me. It’s when the military gets where it’s headed. That We need to think about our final arrangements for.
How about the 75 year old jumping in the viper! That's Cool
I love how you can unironically say things like 'run of the mill F16 pilots'. Must be some mill!
Thanks for the great videos! .
I always come away smarter after watching your videos. You do a great job at explaining difficult topics such as AI. Just keep the videos coming I always look forward to them.
While the overall conclusions to this video are fine, there is some significant simplification in the definitions of AI. The line between 'narrow AI' and 'General AI' isn't a strict barrier but a wide fuzzy mess. AIs trained for coding can already write in coding languages and frameworks they have never seen just based on api documentation which is a small expansion of context, but we don't consider these AIs to be general AIs because amount they can expand their context is very limited.
I wish you flew with major Jack trombetta. Top of his top gun class. He used to take out the f-16’s when they got new gear. Truly amazing pilot and person.
A video about the X65 and active flow control would be cool.
I'd like to see the rogue AI try to do anything when they've spent their munitions and run out of fuel
They just send a signal to the AI powered tanker plane to meet up. It's still gonna have trouble getting more munitions though. 😄
AI can easily take these issues into consideration. For example, take less risk if ammo is low, etc.
It will pull up into a hangar that's run by robots , guided in by an automated control tower, with ammunition manufactured by an automated factory.
The f35b could just slow to a vtol and have drone deliver a munitions box and load it. There are options even right now to successfully do it
It will be like Iron Eagle and instead of kids, it's AI systems coordinating the various missions.
There's still no way to reload midair though. But Launching missile trucks and sharing target data is also the future.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Damn, I love this channel!! :)
It took me 12 years to attain 2000 hours of flight time. Other than schools, I did nothing else but fly for that time.
40 years ago, we called this tech. "expert systems" and they weren't much better than a new technician at locating (diagnosing) the fault in a T.V. set. It seems to have improved somewhat.
Another excellent video Alex. You are the best by far.
Wow!!! Way to put things into perspective. Great work.
Good videp-! Answered a lot of questions about AI and Military sytems
Thanks for the great work Alex I look forward to your stuff every week. Where did you get that picture behind you? It's amazing.
Remotely triggered thermite charge on the motherboard should stop this from being a problem
I’d think in the case of what a human pilot would eject for in combat, an AI would instead self-destruct its own vital components to prevent reconstruction by the enemy.
Good explanation of "real life" accrual of flight time (experience) vs. programmed AI "experience" available immediately. Gonna suck giving up combat flying to the machines but you understand why.
Thanks for a very INFORMATIVE video!
Outstanding discussion Alex.
Ty
I am north of Edwards AFB I get to see this X-62 when it's out my way.
Very cool! So, what else have you seen? 😉
@@dextermorgan1 two weeks ago the Raider was out daytime flights, I did see it at night several years ago because the stars were twinkling consistent with the profile. I can't post photos here but nobody else said anything about it, it was just up there it was probably about 25k with a Falcon chase. I have a camera with a telephoto.
So it seems like my least favorite thing about Ace combat 7 (The way it spammed drone dog fights) was actually prescient and I'm mad about it
Excellent video, really well covered. Your one of the best content creators on UA-cam
Amazing report. Another home run from Alex. You are truly unique and incredible
Where is the video from yesterday? It was about the B21 Raider. I saw the notification but by the time I wanted to watch it, it was gone. Am I missing something?
Thanks for the description of the various types of AI. I had no idea.
It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with, it doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear, and it absolutely will not stop...
That's a great line in a science fiction movie. It has nothing to do with reality.

*rogue 😂😂😂
No hard feelings haha
Jessica Biel ! I only saw the cover art. Now I need to see the movie!
Thanks Alex, that again was a very informative issue !
I see your point. Perfectly presented, thanks
The fact you can put what is basically a very experienced pilot in an aircraft without training or risking a human pilot is crazy. I can't wait for them to train them in sead and bvr it will be a massive a headache for anyone once they get everything polished
But on the flip side enemy nations like CCP china don't have the experience/training disadvantage anymore and would just need to field lots of ai combat aircraft
@@Cryosxify I don't think they have anything like this. I mean we hear claims of them being ahead in Ai but they haven't demonstrated anything like this and they would definitely be bragging about it if they could
@@Cryosxify The CCP's AI can't even speak their own language correctly. I doubt they have the tech or knowledge to replicate this effectively.
Yep including us when this shite inevitably goes horribly wrong.
@billabonggolkpr so long as you set the parameters to not hit friendly it will be fine

By the way keep up the good work guys I love your channel. 👍
OMG can we stop naming these things after derivatives of skynet, please! 😅
Even if you are correct, and these systems never develop their own sentience, they are still a horrifying dystopian nightmare. An imperial and increasingly authoritarian USA will need fewer and fewer loyal soldiers to fight their battles for them as AI "wingmen" take the field. Not needing individual soldier loyalty means an ever decreasing need to listen to the People or pretend to hold elites accountable. What happens to the People under a government that can completely abandon the pretense of accountability through AI systems-based force multiplication?
"a government that can completely abandon the pretense of accountability" is what we just got past. It's the culture that matters, even more than the weapons. I believe the culture would become less insane if the politicians had to be in the battles they send us to fight .
Those animations at the end of the video were pimpin! That convoy with the laser stryker!
Thank you for this video, best explanation of A.I. I have seen.
Without the need to protect a 100kg sack of jelly, aircraft materials can be pushed FAR further even to failure and all we'd lose is gear. With modern solid state systems, the G loads that would kill a human are irrelevant.
You overestimate the mechanical strength of aircraft a lot in this. Aircraft aren’t invincible, believe it or not. Even at the “minor” load limits a human imposes aircraft still take a beating and require tons of maintenance hours to keep flight worthy. Any push into loads higher than humans can handle will reduce combat worthy airframe hours exponentially. Trust me, I fixed fighters for 20 years.
"What happens if the Air Force's AI fighter jets go rogue." Two words: Jaime foxx.
Thank you for your videos
I suspect you are right on about the AI aspects. It is the human tendency to want to rationalize and/or avoid the implications of the concept of “evil” that concerns me. Pogo said “We have met the enemy and he is us”, but I’m talking way more metaphysically. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall…
*we aren’t “decades away from AGI” ; we are decades away from being told that we are using AGI* with our highest defense lines.
It wouldn’t be just Top Secret but compartmentalized access program. No doubt
They won’t be able to hide it unless it’s deployment is very limited. You can hide a couple “SR72” type recon platforms…you can’t hide hundreds or thousands of fighters sans pilots. I agree it will be used before we’re told but it’ll be like one B21 operated by the CIA.
*Rumor has OpenAI already did achieved AGI but with a black project which apparently could shut down our economy and that's why it won't be released there a channel that covers this very good if interested it's called "AI Search" it's has a Brain with cables pfp have fun* 👋🐴
Were decades from anyone being able to *define* AGI, let alone make one.
Now you're just going to say presidents after Reagan were replaced with Cyborgs.
"Biological meat bots" and "clout goblins" are my favorite phrases for at least the next few hours.
Great information!
Thank you, my friend. Always enjoy your objective and well researched vlogs! 👍🏻🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸👍🏻
Have a fantastic weekend.
For me the real horror of Ace Combat 7’s story wasn’t the rogue AI or even JPEG Dog. It was the idea that war became more common because drones were involved. Human pilots weren’t being lost so it was seen as justifiable to use drones for all kinds of warfare. This led to massive infrastructure destruction.
And we’re already starting to see that in conflicts all around the globe. AI will only make that worse.
The AI F16 would have done MUCH better if it did t have a 76 year old man in the cockpit. Could it pull more than 3-4g with him in there?
The plane does not need to turn that hard anyway
This isn’t Vietnam era
It’s most gradual turn where AI will know minutes ahead where to be, it’s not just going to be like oh crap must turn now
I mean arguably military testing is always about examining mission and condition limitations, not optimal performance. Battlefields rarely let you perform optimally. It's why there's an A10 with a simulated F22 kill.
What's scary is that your run of the mill F16 pilot is among the best in the world, if not the best.
Amazing as always
Wow, Alex ,that was one of the clearest, most elementary, and detailed explanations of AI ,I've heard yet ,great job ,great channel ,John.f
I cannot wait until your next video drops, every time.
Great video!
Excellent description of the practical (realistic) application of Ai
Wow best AI explanation is found on a military aviation channel. Well done!👍
Brilliant Alex! Military tech is always the tip of the spear, so its not surprising you've put out the best, and most grounded, explanation on AI this novice has seen! Thanks so much! 😊👏
I am a software engineer, AI can't code for crap, I think soilders are safe for now
Thanks for your common sense info on this complex topic
Most people will never understand the scope and magnitude of this program. It's insane to see how far we've gone with technology. 😲👏
Excellent update on AI
Thanks 👍
AIs can be great tools. Just like previous improvements in automation. They do require careful safeguards, also like previous automation.
Cool to see that the Aussies are not ,eft out, with the inclusion of B-roll for the Ghost Bat & renders of RAAF F18’s
I love the music in the beginning
AIs are just super sophisticated statistical correlation regression/extrapolation models. The trick is hardware and software that allow ridiculous numbers of these correlations to be made (“learning”) so that advanced “behaviours” are created. They are so complex that the designers may completely understand the data they learn from and the ways the models address the data but the “graph” of how the data is integrated can be a black box, an unknown. This is one reason “alignment” of the model is so important so it’s “rewarded” for doing things that don’t cause harm.
We’re gonna go into ace combat 7’s hell in a few years lmao
Thank you for educating people on AI. Your explanations and analysis was spot on. I think the biggest misconception about AI is that it needs to be strong AI or AGI to be powerful or even dangerous. People's expectations about AI are changing. Two to three years ago, many would argue that the generative AI capabilities we see in AI models today would only be possible if we had strong AI or AGI. That's not the case. I would argue that creating autonomous drones that can outperform any pilot does not require AGI. Look at how well AI models are able to create images and content by training on existing work. The US military and aircraft manufacturers have been recording flight data for decades. You can be certain they are training models on all this data. For this reason, expect the US to have the most advanced air fighter AI models in the world, simply because they have the most data. I am currently developing AI integration and automation capabilities for my company and I can confidently tell you that if AI advancements would to stop today (which it will not), with what AI offers today there is an opportunity optimize processes and technologies across all sectors by 20-50%. AI capabilities today have surpassed the rate of implementation. It would take years for companies to fully implement or leverage what generative AI offers today. For this reason lots of AI research is being put into coding and engineering in hope that AI can also help implement AI at a faster rate.
I love how when Alex posts a video about something cool that I want to show my friends, I know it's not bullshit, because Alex posted the video!
This is pretty f****** impressive
so many miltary project names are hacky acronyms etc, but skyborg is a LEGIT project name. ;)
Good stuff.
I am happy to not have to explain why this concern is silly. Thanks Alex, well done.
Thanks
The best summary of what AI is, and more importantly what it isn’t. Thank you for your practical insights, and highly informed perspective.
