RISE OF THE MACHINES: AI to the Rescue as the Military Continues to Struggle With Pilot Shortage

AI to the Rescue as the Military Continues to Struggle With Pilot Shortage

Only further causing headache this year was the fact that the Air Force had to temporarily ground nearly 300 trainer aircraft over concerns that their ejection seats would not fire correctly in an emergency. The problem, which also impacted the entire Air Force’sF-35A Lightning II fleet, was also discovered in 203 T-38 Talons and 76 T-6 Texans IIs.

…

There are now various efforts underway to use advanced technology to address the pilot shortage gap. The United States Air Force and Merlin Labs are now developing software that could allow the Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules to fly with just a single pilot, whereby artificial intelligence (AI) would act as the second pilot. The C-130, built at Lockheed Martin’s facilities in Marietta, Georgia, now holds the record for the longest continuous production run of any military aircraft – first entering service in 1954.

…

The software will be able to follow verbal instructions* from air traffic control, while the goal is for it to respond much like a human pilot. It is just one of several efforts currently underway to explore how AI can fill the pilot shortage.

The U.S. Army is also looking at how AI could be employed in its aircraft. Earlier this year, a Sikorsky UH-60A successfully conducted a 30-minute flight over Fort Campbell, Kentucky. It had no pilot or aircrew. The test was conducted as part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System (ALIAS) program.

…

“All modern combat jets are inherently instable, which makes them more maneuverable, and only fly due to the help of a computer,” explained technology industry analyst Roger Entner of Recon Analytics.

Hope that it’s better than Apple’s Voice Control.

Why are Chinese companies in the Pacific so quiet?

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

During my research on Chinese companies’ engagement in the Pacific Island countries, I have met many people living in Australia or the Pacific who have shown a strong interest in this area, including students, academics, businesspeople, media reporters, government officials, and even taxi drivers. The topic attracts their interest for various reasons: some are curious about how Chinese companies operate; some want to explore dialogue and cooperation with Chinese companies; and some question the quality of Chinese companies’ works (while admitting that most companies operating in the Pacific face similar issues and challenges).

The incident gets so little media attention despite the fact that Argentinian authorities detained 19 crew members at a Buenos Aires airport at the behest of Washington.

Jordan Peterson Shills for the Zionist Entity

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Aug 27, 2022 — The Canadian academic, Jordan Peterson, has raised the ire of Muslims around the world with his latest video he proceeds to lecture Muslims on opening up to other groups of people.

He even suggests that they must begin penpal relationships with different sects, including Jewish people. The caption for the video states clearly what the motive behind the video is: “In the aftermath of the Abraham Accords, Dr Jordan B Peterson suggests that the Muslim community can set a historical example by reaching across the aisle and making contact with whom they regard as “the enemy.” But what about the media platform which produced the video with Peterson?

Shapiro is “a friend” of the US Special Envoy for Economic Normalization, Aryeh Lightstone, and has hosted several interviews to promote the Abraham Accords, including with admitted liar Mike Pompeo. Ben Shapiro once tweeted that “Israelis like to build. Arabs like to bomb crap and live in open sewage.

The Daily Wire has recently signed him for a substantial figure. It is managed on a day-to-day basis by Chief Operating Officer, Jon Lewis, who is a former Intelligence Analyst in the US Marine Corps. It also employs former US Military Intelligence officer, Wesley Schmidt, in Customer Service Analytics. One of the founders of The Daily Wire is Ben Shapiro, a well known pro-Israel YouTuber.

Prior to founding The Daily Wire, Shapiro was a Shillman Fellow at the controversial David Horowitz Freedom Center. His role was provided by Robert Shillman, a board member of The Friends of the IDF, who pumps millions into the building of illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

The other founder of The Daily Wire, Jeremy Boreing was intimately involved in the Prager University project founded by Israel lobbyist Dennis Pragar. The CEO PragerU is Marissa Streit, formerly of the military intelligence unit 8200 in the Israeli occupation forces. The current Senior Editor and Researcher at PragerU is Richard Lim who was previously Deputy Associate Director at the White House and then went onto be a Program Analyst at the FBI.

The Daily Wire not only shared Jeremy Boreing with the PragerU project, but also funders. Both organizations were financed by fracking billionaires the Wilks brothers. The Wilks brothers provided the seed funding for The Daily Wire and regular financial support for the PragerU. Dan Wilks foundation also lavished financial support on Liberty Counsel which has a Stand With Israel campaign which consists of tours of the apartheid state and includes briefings by Israeli government, military, business, and academic leaders.

Both Shapiro and the PragarU project have also enjoyed funding from the Bradley Foundation which has financed a panoply of Zionist organizations including ones involved in illegal settlement building in the West Bank. So, we see that the media organization behind Jordan Peterson’s normalization video has considerable links to not only US but Israeli intelligence.

Why Is A British Baroness Drafting California Censorship Laws?

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Would you be surprised to find out that the censorial, moral panic bill based on hype and nonsense, but very likely to pass in California and potentially change how the internet functions… was actually written by a British noble with a savior complex?

Sounds like more censorship and narrative control! Not to mention, privacy rights violations!

Yet Another Study Finds Cable News Has A Much Bigger Effect On US Polarization Than Social Media

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)1 Comment

The past two election cycles have seen an explosion of attention given to “echo chambers,” or communities where a narrow set of views makes people less likely to challenge their own opinions. Much of this concern has focused on the rise of social media, which has radically transformed the information ecosystem.
