Episode notes

The US Air Force has achieved a milestone by integrating artificial intelligence into fighter jets, demonstrated by an experimental AI-controlled F-16 named Vista engaging in a high-speed dogfight with a human-piloted F-16. This test flight signifies the Air Force's plans to deploy a fleet of over 1,000 AI-enabled unmanned warplanes by 2028. The transition to AI-controlled aircraft offers enhanced security, cost-effectiveness, and strategic capability, especially in potential conflicts with technologically advanced adversaries. Furthermore, AI is revolutionizing the music and art industry as showcased by indie artist Washed Out's music video, created entirely using OpenAI's text-to-video AI model called Sora. This groundbreaking video was directed by filmmaker Paul Trillo and produced by Trillo Films, utilizing around 700 video clips generated from detailed text prompts in Sora.
