NICE. I would like to see the Cybertruck and BYD vehicles added, among others, but I will definitely take a broader chart over a cherry-picked up-to-date one!

Smartest thing I’ve heard attributed to him in a hot minute.

Joke’s on AI. It’s harder to stop us from outing ourselves.

There is no “around”. These things were setup with overlapping fields of fire.

If every single local tells you to gtfo and applauds the arsonists, its time to go. You’re an anti-gun corporation, not a heavilly armed black family with a right to live wherever they please … and I’m only not telling that family they should listen to anyone about anything because its not my place.

That’s right, the gun thing’s a red herring for once, but the strongly-worded advice stands.

Imagine thinking this stuff takes only a couple years to fully impliment, let alone start paying dividends. Hell, did Intel even fully install and test their new chiller at the Ohio fab yet? Getting shit right takes time…

Only clicked because I thought it said Ai Knoxville … but this is exactly the kind of thing video-producing AIs should be trained on. 1000% better than the original Jackass.

Looks like it won to me.

IIRC, it was regarging Air to Air engagement, and you got me on Geneva Conventions: It would be International Law, but I’m not having any luck finding anything the US has agreed to at the moment.

I will say, I made zero mention of Stealth. Nothing about Stealth prevents positive target identification once you have visual confirmation. The main reasons not to lob missiles at Stealth aircraft you can’t physically see revolve around not wasting those missiles on birds, kites, or small civilian aircraft.

There’s still the fact that Beyond The Horizon engagement is going to require either pilots firing blind or magically getting some sort of confirmation from a third party(gets dicey with weather or with all the ECM static that would need to be dealt with in a real war involving air to air combat much at all). Meanwhile, legitimate targets move fast enough to enter visual range before that can happen as often as not.

If dog-fighting were over, the F35 wouldn’t even have a gun, or it would be angled downward for ground support, a role which the standard F35 doesn’t/can’t fly slow enough for anyways. This is something that literally led to the design of the F14 in the first place, as they had thought dog-fighting was dead when they fielded the F4 Phantom.

Assuming you’re cool with breaking the Geneva Conventions, sure. I find it a problem that the J-31 made clear we traded dogfighting potential for illegal Over-The-Horizon engagement and a Really Big Fan that isn’t even in the vast majority of F35s that are/will be produced. Insanity.

Meanwhile, middle-eastern countries that won’t play ball with US bullshit are getting on great with China.

The F-14 is still the best dogfighter the US has produced in several decades. The F-35 can’t beat it, although the F-35 can’t beat most anything else in a dogfight.

OTOH, an F-14 that can’t get even get off the ground … That’s a good point.
