Russia allegedly field-testing deadly next-gen AI drone powered by Nvidia Jetson Orin — Ukrainian military official says Shahed MS001 is a 'digital predator' that identifies targets on its own

I don't think that's a high precision weapon because even people struggle to ID each other in combat, and this thing probably doesn't, as it may be flown in the general direction of other side's positions. Saw a movement, or a matching vehicle? - that's good enough. And while this chip is ARM meaning less energy consumption than other vcards, I'd be also thinking it has massive drawbacks in price, autonomous life, being way less reliable than stupid man-controlled machines. One certain sign is a form-factor of a plane rather than a quadrocopter - the primal option when you concerned about weight, energy saving, speed - but it also means this drone should have a constant momentum, thus lower precision and lower reaction times for LLM on board.

I should aknowledge that all actors are waiting for the tipping point of AI becoming a viable option, but I'm pleased in my pessimism that it's not just there yet. I'd think it is, if it's real, a PR move not yet reported locally - to show the techonological advance, and how it saves lifes people back home are worried about, and it works both ways, neccesitating the EU support after Don doing Don things at this disclosure.

Either way, non-consumer grade stuff isn't that hard to track, nvidia. I imagine them being delighted that their customer is using it in usually single-use items meaning a potentially endless demand. But it makes it harder to explain why the fuck your specialized chips are in the weapons of a deeply sanctioned country. One thing is consumer products, the other is these cards. And from what it seems, it's not a critical I-d-kill-someone-for-them, it's a leisure what-if project Russia wants to try and probably flex with it. You can starve a horny person of sex for million of years and it'd they'd not be as easy access as nvidia there. Green gangrene and them consistently driving on red lights.

That would explain why they're all out of stock...
Meanwhile two posts down on my feed https://lemmy.ml/post/32821658

I heard they wanted to call it Skynet but some observatory in North Carolina already took the name.
