I've been looking since March 2024. Having no reasonable options in sight, have reopened https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Finformationr.us%2F

In this job search, Linked In and Dice- but MOST of my LinkedIn devolves down into one of the above quickly. The number of scammers on Linked In is truly awesome.

Hahahahaha.

I was actually in college in the 1990s, but yes, a middle schooler today with python on a raspberry pi and a pretty simple GPS module could do this.

I didn't say it wasn't abhorrent or alarming. I'm presenting the scenario that this task of "defend this three dimensional coordinate box" doesn't require AI.

Yes, it did. The beacon signals weren't that good back then, neither were the sensors. I had the same problem in the fake robot battles I was involved in.

The answer turned out to be a solution not from Defense industries, but from Genie Garage Door Openers.

The robot doesn't care. The robot's job isn't foreign policy. The robot's job is "here's a box defined by this coordinate cloud, defend it"

Like I said, I programmed it for a fighting robot back in the 1990s. It ain't that complex, and with today's drone factory ships, the Navy can now output this level of AI in killbots at a rate of 10,000 a day.

Kill decisions are simple in comparison: Stay within your predefined geofence, kill anything that moves that isn't transmitting Friend beacon. We don't need AI for that, I coded a form of it in both Basic and Forth back in the 1990s.

And if they don't, some other startup will.

Or time literacy. Permanent!=3 years

Don't be so sure that Republicans aren't Communists and Democrats aren't Fascists.

And apparently "Faster than ever before" is limited to a data set less than 4 centuries old out of 4.5 billion. It's science reporting like this that makes people distrust science.

And the total number of layoffs of American tech workers in 2022-2025 was in the hundreds of thousands.
