Elon thinks manned fighters are stupid

[derg]

Well maybe then it only seems like they’re doing good because they have so many censors hiding the bad news

Apparently, you can't give a negative review of Tesla on X.

You know, America's good time venue for savage freedom of speech? LOLZ.

The irony, of course, is that the pre-Musk Twitter spent a lot of its money litigating on behalf of its users as regards free speech, against some regimes that I consider pretty unsavory, even. They spent a lot of time and effort defending anonymous and pseudonymous speech as well as the rights of their users.

Now, though.

I've seen nothing to make me believe that manned fighters can be entirely replaced by droids.

Even if there are, they're probably not the ones we're looking for.

Did the joke pass over your head or are you ignoring it? I need to know.

Either way, we're just going to move along. Move along. Move along.

Great! Different tech entirely. When Waymo was adding more censors, Tesla said "Supply chain issues? Let's see what we can do with fewer sensors" and then reliability tumbled.

Tesla had plenty of censors, but when they tried more censers, the smoke kept getting in their eyes.

I've seen nothing to make me believe that manned fighters can be entirely replaced by droids. The technology is not there, at least that I am aware of. Certainly not based on what any random citizen like Musk, using open source info has knowledge of. But I imagine this is another game of "I have an ulterior motive" (some drone spinoff for musk industries would certainly be profitable)

If you want to know how far along we are with unmanned combat aircraft, get in touch with one of your buddies at NavAir and ask about the MQ-25.

The MQ-25 was envisioned as a cheap and easy unmanned autonomous ISR platform. Where are we now? We’re struggling to get this thing operational as a tanker operating close to the boat in uncontested airspace with a shadow crew back at the boat.

If Musk had a five minute briefing, assuming he could get cleared, he wouldn’t be commenting on things he knows little about. Of all the folks in the world, he should understand the challenges associated with autonomous operation of aircraft.

Crap, Apple Intelligence! I have to start watching it…. GRRR
