Andy built his first gaming PC at the tender age of 12, when IDE cables were a thing and high resolution wasn't.

The rise of AI has many wide-ranging implications for the future of the human race, but it's perhaps the potential military uses that raise the biggest causes for concern. It seems we're now starting to see what an AI versus human battle might look like, at least in the skies above us, as the US military has tested an AI-controlled F16 in a dogfight with an actual test pilot—although the results as to who"won" remain unclear.

However, the Air Force says that its test pilots didn't have to use any of their safety systems during the dogfight testing, meaning that the AI seems quite capable of battling in the skies all by itself. While this demonstration may well be in the name of creating autonomous systems for a variety of uses, it's difficult to imagine that the results of these experiments won't be of great interest to the military in regards to real life combat scenarios.
