The language of this PR is mind-boggling hyperbole: >We've fundamentally changed the conversation by showing this can be executed safely and responsibly,” said Col. James Valpiani How did they show this? The evidence is anecdotal: A team member with a status interest in "success" says his demo didn't screw up under a test condition. >For decades machine learning has been historically prohibited due to high risk and lack of independent control. Go on... >The X-62A is flown with safety pilots onboard with the independent ability to disengage the AI. ...Sounds safe and effective... >However, test pilots did not have to activate the safety switch at any point during the dogfights over Edwards. Huzzah! OK, well that proves it. Looks like theory met practice and a beautiful baby of a new contract has been born! >In total, the team made over 100,000 lines of flight-critical software changes across 21 test flights. Bragging about lines of code changed during testing? Great design! I recall "expert" testimony on the viability of Reagan's Star Wars: "A human programmer can't do this, it's too complex, it will have to be written by AI." Skate ahead 40 years— Introducing "Co-pilot"! Ridiculous PR
