Everything takes a long time to plan. Your F-22 has a range of less than 2000km. So you're going to need a delivery system. The drone delivery system is a nondescript truck driven around the country by some random nobody. The F-22 delivery system is a shiny aircraft carrier battle group stuck in the nearest practicable sea lane. How long did it take to plan for the carrier deployment or maybe to send a squadron of planes to the nearest friendly airbase?

Stealth comes in many forms. Radar stealth vs drone hidden in a truck stealth. You could even ship individual parts and let local resistance fighters assemble them across the road from the target, if you really wanted to. Once they're that close, they don't need stealth any more.

The stealth fighters are beautiful technology for sure that is hard to replace, with a long lead time, high unit cost and expensive support infrastructure. Unmanned vehicles are cheap, can be mass produced quickly, and are highly expendable. I think we're seeing evolution in action:)

Dude, it's not Elon's fault. When you've got a country where more than half of the population sees nothing wrong with voting in a convicted felon as their president, you've got way bigger problems.

You're behind the times. There's 2 years of real footage out there showing how modern drone warfare beats the crap out of legacy air strike superiority. This is the present.

Why put money into 1 stealth fighter with only a handful of munitions when you can have 1000 cheap attack drones that do a more thorough and precise job? And the pilot remains safe in a bunker sipping mountain dew.

Sorry, you disapprove? What are you going to do about it, hmm?

Europa was also one of the early girlfriends of Zeus.
He used to visit her as a bull.
Apparently she liked his BBC or the BBC...
One of those anyways, I'm not sure if they watched TV in those days :/

There's no point in making another overpriced "stealth" aircraft. Drones have proven to be much more successful, orders of magnitude cheaper, and can attack over a much longer range.

The fact that it was finally recovered at all qualifies as a posterior success!

He made a show of stepping away from politics but I don't think anyone is so dumb that they believe he's really doing it

He left the WH because he was hogging the limelight and Trump didn't like it. This is the Trump Show, not the Elon Show.

Elon already turned himself around to kiss ass, but Trump will not forget his lack of loyalty. This tells you two things, Elon is weak, and Trump will definitely try to punish him, because he only ever attacks weak opponents and friendlies.

I hear Steven Seagal is still not dead, and looking for a comeback role that emphasizes his hair transplant....

The other option is to be open to learning and actually grow and become a human being.

Or a Human/Axolotl hybrid with tiny flippers instead of hands, as the case may be!

Why? The endless user-generated spam is only there to communicate with other live users of the platform. It's a self fulfilling shitshow. Ban everyone who is *not* an AI from the sochul mudia instead!

SmarterEveryDay: I Tried To Make Something In America

Erm. How many trillions of dollars does it take to redo "Google" in your organization yourself, inhouse?

The argument about the value of AI is about if it is superhuman, because only superhuman capabilities justify the fuckload of investor money being thrown into this technology. There is a bubble currently and it will burst, and in the meantime the bubble is causing unnecessary destruction in the economy, by reorganising companies with proven expertise into generic service providers of dubious quality.

I for one welcome seeing the exact same fight scenes frame by frame from a slightly different camera angle, thank you director replacing AI overlords!

A: No.

(this answer works for every one of these queries, btw. Why waste your time asking DIFFERENT questions when the answer is always the same? Type less, enjoy more!)
