“laughably easy to take down fighter jets”
yeah all you have to do is ban the kid running the elon jet twitter. Seems easy enough to me.
Mr richest man on earth with tesla and space x doesn’t even have an electric private jet
For those doing the maths at home:
An F35 who obligingly flies top-towards-you (not exactly something you can do, but hey, maybe they’re turning) is all of 10m tall.
An AIM-120C can very comfortably hit a target at 100km.
At that range, the F-35 takes up 26 arcseconds, or 0.007 degrees. That’s roughly about the size of this period, at a distance of 3 meters away.

Good luck spotting that in a sky of roughly the same colour, full of other objects.
Yeah but what about the AI? Have you thought about the AI that would be running it, which never misses, and would totally be a useful existing thing? 😉
You can place cameras anywhere, they don’t need to be right next to what is being targeted. Nearer ranges will allow AI to misidentify at much higher rates than max standoff ranges of an AIM-120C.
I don’t think you were getting enough credit for ‘misidentify’.
and then also dealing with the F-35 itself, even if you managed to lock on and target it, it will have anti-warfare capabilities you have to contend with.
“I said AI sir!”
Just for reference: JWST has an optical resolution of 0.07 arcseconds. It’s a mirror 22 feet in diameter though, not something you’d put inside a missile guidance package.
Yeah, sure. But that doesn’t matter if you point the AI at it with a really good zoom lens, though. And then you have a ton of them, pointed in an directions, like the compound eye of a fly. F35 spotted.
Magnifying glass makes things bigger, checkmate! 🔍🔍
Pffffffff
I can see that bright white dot against the dark mode background on my maximum brightness screen with ease! Therefore your argument is invalid!
with a big enough screen i bet an AI camera could see it too
“Théoden no longer recognizes friend from foe. Not even his own kin. Saruman has poisoned the mind of the king and claimed lordship over this land. My company are those loyal to Rohan. And for that, we are banished.” - Èomer, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
If a fighter jet is within visual range of a camera, it’s already too late. And that’s if there aren’t any clouds.
your not thinking like a musk, not if the government pays the subscription and contract for his early warning camera drone balloon swarm thing or something something they could run on ketamine or something.
Guy whose cars run into stopped fire trucks thinks he’s an expert on computer vision.
Speaking of fire trucks has anyone here ever read the emergency response procedures for teslas in severe accidents? When I was a volunteer we gave it a look over.
If I remember right, Depending on the model they recommend up to 8,000 gallons (~30k liters) to keep an overheating battery’s temp stable in case of fire or exposure to high heat. I’ll link the resource page here.
Our engine holds 700 gallons (5.2k liters) and the typical tanker in our area holds 2,000 (7.5k liters)
That’s a house fire level response for a single electric vehicle. Just getting that much water moved to a scene would be challenging. We have tankers, but how many city departments can move that much water? You don’t see hydrants on highways. And foam is not effective like it is for normal car fires. The future will be interesting for firefighters.
30,000 liters is 30m^3, which is a back yard swimming pool full of water.
Now imagine a house on fire with a tesla in the garage or multiple vehicle accidents. Now you need that much more
But was it a “stealthy” fire truck??
Yes, but the car only had enough low-light cameras but not enough rudimentary AI
Someone died because one of those cars thought the broadside of a white semi trailer was the sky and drove under it
I thought it mistook the semi that was crossing a divided highway as an overpass and attempted to drive under it?
Sir, our air defence is down!
Is it hackers?
No sir, it’s cloudy.
That fucker really thinks he’s so smart when all he does is constantly demonstrate what an idiot he is.
His rise really is symbolic of the rot that has taken hold of our society. Truly, our most degenerate moron has risen to the top of the shit pile.
Just use multiple nuclear power plants to power an AI that constantly scans the sky.
Are we sure he’s not an NCD poster?
Edit to add - Musk unlocked the achievement, personal enemy of the DoD and entire defense industry. I’m getting popcorn for this.
someone tell ellen about beyond visual range
Easy. Just build a giant ball of telescopes and ban water
MY LENS IS DIRTY REEEeee oh wait I found alcohol.
Elon Musk is an idiot
Looks like being rich and surrounding yourself with yes-people is the #1 cause of sitting confidently at the top of the Dunning-Krueger curve.
He’s riding that curve like one of those surfing dogs.
I think the better analogy is that he has set up camp on top of Mount Stupid and ain’t moving from it.
People will pilgrimage to the peak of Mount Stupid to pray at the alter of his HYPEoxia.
Also… Fighters are fast, the point is you should fire the missile before you see it.
The f-35 is built for engagements outside the horizon, like, the target is blocked by the curvature of the earth.
Light sensitive cameras and rudimentary AI…
Pssh, all you need is a gravity lens to bend the light, problem solved!
So we use a black hole to bend space time and look into the past where it isn’t. We know where it isn’t in the past.
but have you considered that if i can’t see it then it doesn’t exist?
Dude’s brain is shit design and fucking sucks, actually
MUH AY-EI
Did he replace his brain with AI already? Because it sure fucking looks like it.
He has always been this stupid.
His greatest achievement has been buying contracts that state he has invented things that he didn’t invent.
