Marines Outsmart DARPA's Advanced AI

's artificial intelligence in an epic battle of wits and an inconceivable voucher, so here here's the deal: the tweet is a half page image of a book that's not even out yet, that book has four paul battlefields shared and it's coming out next february 2023 and i actually reached out and contacted Paul for the full story and here it is. what i found out once in 2019, DARPA had a program known as Squad put inside a flying drone or a small car drone or inside a robot dog and it would follow the grunts into battle and act as an early warning system using cameras and sensors to identify enemies. much further than a human could ever be a terrible idea, so DARPA got to work, they built the robots, they built the AI, but then they had to train the AI ​​to identify people and apparently the best way to Doing it was just doing it, they brought in eight

marines

for a week to help train this artificial intelligence and for the first six days it was great, basically the AI ​​just watched the marines walk around and do things that a human would do while the computer engineers helped. to teach the algorithm. what he was looking at, but then on the seventh day DARPA would make a classic tactical mistake by challenging the Marines with apparently only six days of training, they wanted to see how well their AI would compare to the 100 organics fed by the Crown of the Marine Corps.

To give you a hint, it didn't go well, the challenge was that they were going to place the robot outdoors and the marines had to start from about a thousand meters away and they had to sneak up on the robot and touch it without ever being identified as humans so As soon as they said "go", the first two marines took off somersaulting the entire 1000 meters, they reached the completely unidentified robot and I can only assume that it is at this point that the computer engineers realized that they were going to have one bad day because everything just got more ridiculous from there, another marine went out into the woods, removed all the branches from a spruce tree, dressed like a tree, and then slowly, and I quote, walked like a fur tree to the robot and then, my personal favorite example, two marines found a large box and then proceeded to do the old metal gear solid trick where they use Amazon Prime patterned camouflage to sneak up to the robot and touch it.

According to the author, they could be heard laughing audibly from inside the Box the entire time and this raises a very important question: how angry were these engineers, so I asked the author. Well, in this case I want to say that it is a Dorper project, so it is only experimental. and they are trying to balance the balance. I can't speak to the engineers if they wouldn't have appreciated it, maybe they did appreciate someone highlighting these issues. The program manager who interacted with me was very happy because they learned something well. about the limitations of the system and you'd really rather find out in a training environment than when you do it overseas in a war zone and the enemy does it, but you know it's a good thing they figured it out early. that they had previously invested hundreds and millions of dollars in this, okay, well, if he's not going to speak on behalf of the engineers, that leaves it open to my interpretation and I think it was something like that.

I hate them in conclusion, I think the big takeaway from this story is that artificial intelligence is nowhere near ready to go toe-to-toe with American grunts on the battlefield because regardless of how smart it is. No matter how smart you become, you will never be able to figure out what the growling is. doing it until they're already doing it because grunts don't know what they're doing until they're doing it and you can't be three steps ahead of someone who never knows where they're going because at the end of The Day When, historically speaking, the The American military only had one plan and that was to show up and improvise if you made it to the end of this video.
