Is there any Linux distro thats anti-AI?

Reply in thread

Thats just not. There is no "AI" in the kernel. Thats not whats happening.

Using AI coding tools does not equal there being AI in the kernel. Like, surely you are aware that code completion AI has been in most IDE's for almost a decade? Using machine learning for coding has precedent.

And we need to not confuse that with there being actual AI in the OS/ kernel, because that is also a thing. And that is not what linux is.

Turkish long-endurance drone tests anti-submarine task at sea

With all the progress we're making in the air, people are significantly underestimating the capabilities of drones and autonomous vehicles at sea.

Drones at sea as a replacement for submarines in particular solve many of the issues actually submarines are engineered around. Namely having human bodies on board makes them extremely complicated. Drones don't suffer that issue.

They can be made neutrally buoyant so no or little propulsion is required to maintain a position. Red green NIR lidar is sufficiently advanced you could do some insane targeting which with current systems would be basically entirely undetectable.

I've also wondered about loitering munitions. Think "small drivable sea mine with a solar panel" ; basically, you could have remotely operated sea mines which can themselves do the work necessary to avoid detection or destructive, effectively indefinitely.

it will upend naval power balance in a way that it hasn’t been in a long time

Thats exactly my thought, and I've received significant pushback from lemmy in the past in these regards. But the basic argument is that the US military doctrine has been one selected by military industrial complex consultants to secure the profitability of the military industrial complex contractors, not the security of the US State. I've received waves of downvotes for saying that basically, in the context of cheap drones, the value proposition of an F35 simply isn't there, not least of which for territorial defense.

I think this modern shift in doctrine is just the beginning.

Pentagon grants DHS permission to test heat ray weapon for potential use at border

I mean its literally in the link I initially posted:

https://inv.nadeko.net/embed/UC3O6B_K9Us?t=1215

They take a simple riot shield, and put one layer of the copper impregnated fabric over it, then as the resistor, they use some neon bulbs which also give you an indication of if you are being hit by radio energy.

Blocking a device like this requires some forethought and planning, but even thats been done for us. Actually their most clever idea was to embed the fabric between two layers of posterboard for a protest sign. So you've got your sign and its just a sign, but then when they turn on the human microwave canon, you've got a shield you can protect yourself with.

I am specifically talking about this kind of thing for naval logistics, not about whether manned aircraft are relevant.

Well then we might be talking past each other a bit, because I see these as antithetical to the doctrine I recognize as both emergent and which I expect to become more and more dominant over time. Nothing screams not understanding the assignment more than Raytheon, pictured in figure two of that article. US and western national defense industries select for systems that bring them closer to power, not necessarily to support practical defense or war fighting. And the result is that we end up with technology so advanced, single purpose, and over-engineered, its supply lines practically inevitably wrap the globe 3 times.
