Guy whose cars run into stopped fire trucks thinks he’s an expert on computer vision.

For those doing the maths at home:
An F35 who obligingly flies top-towards-you (not exactly something you can do, but hey, maybe they're turning) is all of 10m tall.
An AIM-120C can very comfortably hit a target at 100km.
At that range, the F-35 takes up 26 arcseconds, or 0.007 degrees. That's roughly about the size of this period, at a distance of 3 meters away.
[ . ]
Good luck spotting that in a sky of roughly the same colour, full of other objects.
You can place cameras anywhere, they don't need to be right next to what is being targeted. Nearer ranges will allow AI to misidentify at much higher rates than max standoff ranges of an AIM-120C.
Yeah but what about the AI? Have you thought about the AI that would be running it, which never misses, and would totally be a useful existing thing? 😉
Just for reference: JWST has an optical resolution of 0.07 arcseconds. It’s a mirror 22 feet in diameter though, not something you’d put inside a missile guidance package.
If a fighter jet is within visual range of a camera, it's already too late. And that's if there aren't any clouds.
your not thinking like a musk, not if the government pays the subscription and contract for his early warning camera drone balloon swarm thing or something something they could run on ketamine or something.
His fucking obsession with computer vision. He’s so convinced he’s right he forgot that clouds exist… and his cars plow straight into obstacles.
Yeah, the "lidar is useless" guy whose cars are consistently crashing into things when visibility is bad is telling us that he can do the same thing with missile targeting systems... Sounds like a great idea
Also night
And that a plane at altitude is too small for wide field cameras which means scanning the sky with narrow fov detectors.

That fucker really thinks he's so smart when all he does is constantly demonstrate what an idiot he is.
His rise really is symbolic of the rot that has taken hold of our society. Truly, our most degenerate moron has risen to the top of the shit pile.
Says the guy that produces AND designed the cyber truck
Look. Just because people hope to not see it and actively avoid looking in the general direction of, does not make the cyber truck invisible.
"It a shit design" is rich coming from the guy whos company can't get panels to line up on a car.
"It's a shit design" Says the man responsible for this:

Also... Fighters are fast, the point is you should fire the missile before you see it.
The f-35 is built for engagements outside the horizon, like, the target is blocked by the curvature of the earth.
Light sensitive cameras and rudimentary AI..
Looks like being rich and surrounding yourself with yes-people is the #1 cause of sitting confidently at the top of the Dunning-Krueger curve.
Can't these things aerosolize you from beyond the fucking horizon? How helpful are those AI powered low light cameras when they're phase transitioned by a missile launched from a hundred miles away?
You'd need a camera network spanning the entire battlefield. And it'd need telephoto lenses at the very least, because stealth fighters are high and small. And it'd need to stay connected after an initial missile exchange.
I don't buy for a moment that nobody in the Pentagon has thought of this, and explained why it's not a dealbreaker in a classified report.
"laughably easy to take down fighter jets"
yeah all you have to do is ban the kid running the elon jet twitter. Seems easy enough to me.
Let me guess, he's got an alternative to sell?

Jesus christ ... this dude is a fucking moron... if it WAS easy defense companies would be doing it already... and guess what, they aren't. Between this dickhead and Captain Brainworm the next four years are gonna SUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!
He's just a dumb attention seeker. Of course he's gonna shit on the most over-engineered thing in existence. Tho the context of the shitty engineering his companies do makes this even funnier. What a loser.
TONY STARK WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS, ELON.
IN A CAVE YOU FUCKING INBRED. A CAVE!!!
MUH AY-EI
Did he replace his brain with AI already? Because it sure fucking looks like it.
He has always been this stupid.
Just use multiple nuclear power plants to power an AI that constantly scans the sky.
Are we sure he's not an NCD poster?
Edit to add - Musk unlocked the achievement, personal enemy of the DoD and entire defense industry. I'm getting popcorn for this.
He isn't smart. He's just a narcissist that lives deep in the warm embrace of Dunning-Kuger
Mr richest man on earth with tesla and space x doesn't even have an electric private jet
In the long term maybe he has a point. In the short term the other guys are often using a radar built in 1985 and displaying to a ray tube.
