An AI-run fighter jet went up against another controlled by a human pilot in a drill, the US has said. The aircraft flew at up to speeds of 1,200mph during combat that's often referred to as a dogfight.

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

    One step closer to machine domination.

    Like, not even in a joking sense. Ukraine is using a ton of drones, the future of physical warfare will simply be a test resources and production.

    I’m honestly not sure if this will be good or bad in the longterm. Absolutely saving any amount of human life is a good thing, but when that is no longer a significant factor, I wonder if we will go to (and stay at) war for more trivial reasons.

      I’m hoping that the sheer cost of executing that sort of war will continue to be a prohibiting factor like it is today
