    The movie Stealth should’ve warned us about this but no not even Jamie Foxx and Charlize Theron can save us now!

  2. And then they tell where it's flown from so I'll spy satellite to be looking at Edwards Air Force Base really I don't know about this nation anything to get money from YouTube

  3. Why would anybody in their right mind or company let the world know what DARPA is doing so they can copycat us

    <<Aircraft are meant to be flown by human beings. To those listening in, am I wrong?>>

    Yep, the UFOs people been seeing are just AI controlled fighter planes that no longer need to be limited to the human body. It can fly as fast and pull as much Gs the Aircraft it’s self can handle. The end result is flying weapons that can do what would have been impossible maneuvers by human pilots in the cockpit and even remotely controlled on the ground.

    Makes sense. A natural evolution of tech and warfare. It's very cool and the future autonomous jets will be cool too.

    This is both exciting and frightening at the same time. The obvious conclusion to this technological track is full squadrons of combat aircraft that can take on missions that would otherwise require endangering a human life. However, what does war look like when decision makers don't have to worry about explaining to a family why their daughter or son is not coming back? When the decision to fight no longer involves a calculation on human warfighters, will the decision to attack be made quicker?

    Much easier for AI to fly than drive. No having to deal with many unpredictable humans sharing the road, tiny slivers of road and obstacles. This is a walk in the park in comparison.

    Scary future ahead. You know this technology will be misused by evil actors

    That moment when Cortana takes over for Masterchief in the halo tv show.

    What's the MTF, mean time between failures? Let's see you reboot this thing in midair.

    Man I’m planning to become a pilot…

    Now all we need is to see them fight each other and see if the winning robot wants to fight us next.
