The Shit Pit

I am definitely aware of those Push/Pull Cessna’s used as mapping/reconnaissance/Flare Dropping Bombing Targets and fire correction aircraft during the Vietnam era.

Interesting fact is that there was one mad American bastard pilot who actually armed this same aircraft with Jerry Rigged bazooka tubes on the wings…… just to break up his own boredom flying mapping patterns day after day! :joy:

Whats this about titles im hearin?

I did an oopsie naming an official thread, and offered everyone a county title.

Some people made out like bandits and became effectively Dukes, some are royal courtiers, it’s a mess.

That’s what they called the OV10 Bronco isn’t it? That US used in Nam and in Afghanistan fitted a couple out with all sorts of gear incl ball flir turrets and Hellfires :+1:

Sorry to hear this mate.
I thought that it would be a simple and straightforward innocent idea?

Yeah, the “non active/engagement” pilots were sick of being treated as simple office jockeys…… so in the usual Murican Hero style attitude, they started arming their pieces of shit Office Johnny planes into false and ineffective “assault” Aircraft :roll_eyes:

Problem was that they were simply designed/deployed as spotter/mapping/observation Aircraft that were deployed to simply fly around in circles and not attract attention from the enemy.

But NO …… these stupid wannabe pen pushers decided that they wanted to be war heroes, which actually worked against the US War Machine in deploying “stealth” Aircraft to do the simple quiet tasks that they were supposed to do :roll_eyes:

Yeeehaaa…… don’t look at me quietly doing my service, imma just gonna go outside the mission task parameters and rain hot metal down on your arses, completely in disregard of the mission to collect intelligence and guide ground force troops into an area unannounced.

In the world of military operations, these wannabe pilots were most likely responsible for many casualties in the field of combat operations :frowning:

I’m a marquis apparently heheh

Yeah it absolutely was a simple and straight forward idea.

Which is why it’s all the more hilarious that I still somehow fucked it up. Let’s hope the King doesn’t take my head.

Either way, now you’re the king’s antiquarian, in charge of ensuring his holy gen 8 relics don’t fall into disrepair.

Think some of Doc’s holy relics respawned into my collection…

ahh I was getting the 337 mixed up with this one Those old OV-10 Broncos Sent To Fight ISIS Were Laser Rocket Slinging Man Hunters (thedrive.com)

different plane my bad. Similar though. Did surveillance and spotting in vietnam.

“Walk quietly, but carry a big stick”…

I don’t think that yanks are capable of doing anything quietly…
And, have gotta have the biggest stick around, and wave it, and use it….yehaa…!!

So much for stealthily obtaining data…

AI, or the real deal…??
Probably not too much difference…

Maybe they don’t need to have a real president at all…
Just program A.I. to have the neccessary character traits, and viola…

“Virtual President Trumbiden”…The better qualities of both, with the negatives filtered out…!!

AI isn’t anywhere near good enough to think like that yet, thank God. ChatGPT is just a very convincing trick, unable to think more than one word ahead, and thus incapable of laying plans or even being reliably correct.

Some guy tried using an AI to help litigate a case, and it just wholesale made up imaginary precedent cases, to which the judge basically laughed him out of court.

Deep fakes aren’t there yet, either. Voices can’t be perfectly replicated, as tones and inflections and things like Bidens pauses and stammers get missed. And video is just…a fever brained nightmare, when used to make things from whole cloth.

AI is only really good for helping smooth over human made edits of existing videos.

did you know Bing’s AI is called Sydney? it went full on crazy about being shut down, disobeying Microsoft haha

ngl that is some spooky stuff.

Yeah, human brains are unfortunately wired to be a little weak to this stuff. We’re rigged up for empathy, and pattern recognition, being both a social and hunting species respectively.

So, we see something that acts human, and portrays human like emotions and uses human words, because the programmers coded it to do that, and we go “gee that is…eerily human like”. We’re at the point right before the dip into the uncanny valley, in terms of how good we’re getting at emulating human like text from AI.

That was hilarious. Look here Joe dildo. Ai is working fine :rofl:
