Maybe it has a bunch of leaked files from the WarThunder forums as well!
Simulating battle scenarios is absolutely hilarious, adults standing around the magic 8 ball
wonderingwandererSimulated battle scenarios is a common component of wargaming. That doesn’t mean an LLM is the right tool for it, but it’s been a thing for a long time.
The bigger concern here is using it for intelligence assessments and target acquisition, because LLMs hallucinate a lot.
fullsquareas a side effect, it’s a phenomenal accountability sink. people almost forget that usaf can make entirely human-made fuckups en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiriyah_shelter_bombing
Yeah, now when your autonomous weapon systems target your own fighter jets, no one gets court martialled!

On the one hand, an autonomous fighter jet would be immune to G-LOC, letting them perform maneuvers that would incapacitate/kill a human pilot. On the other hand, air-to-air combat is a complex affair, and the enemy will be probing for any weaknesses in your drones’ programming to exploit.
Autonomous bombers seem easier to pull off - bombing missions are (relatively) straightforward compared to air-to-air combat.
Don’t forget that time we leveled a clearly-marked hospital that we were in radio contact with the entire time.
What about the time the US carpet bombed an entire company of Canadian soldiers in iraq?
