NoneJoe Rogan left stunned as US security advisor reveals how AI will take over in future wars READ MORE: AI-made battlefield 'kill lists' murdered civilians in 10% of all cases By MATTHEW PHELAN SENIOR SCIENCE REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 19:57 GMT, 27 November 2024 | Updated: 20:04 GMT, 27 November 2024 e-mail 13 shares 2 View comments Joe Rogan was left stunned after hearing how AI will be the main fighters in future wars. The celebrity podcaster was taken back when his podcast guest, Homeland Security Advisor Marc Andreessen, suggested AI-powered jets that travel five times the speed of sound, Mach 5, are going to be more common 'within a few years.' 'Image a thousand of these things coming over the horizon right at you,' Andreessen said. 'It really changes the fundamental equation of war.' He explain that instead of needing the most soldiers and material to win, people with the most technology and money will take over. Andreessen also noted that there are 'a bunch of reasons' why he believes a future of AI-piloted fighter jets is all but inevitable. 'Part of it is simply the speed of processing,' Andreessen explained. 'But the other big thing is, if you don't have a human in the plane, you don't have [...] 'the Spam in the Can.'' 'You don't have the human body in the plane to keep alive, which means you can be a lot faster,' the billionaire White House advisor continued, 'much higher G-forces.' Swarms of 'thousands' of AI-piloted fighter jets are coming 'within a few years,' according to a White House homeland security advisor in a new interview with celebrity podcaster Joe Rogan (above). The comedian and host called the dystopian near-future scenario 'so horrifying' Billionaire venture capitalist Marc Andreessen (pictured) - a member of the White House's Homeland Security Advisory Council - told Rogan that 'it's going to be common to have like Mach 5 jet drones [...] you want to imagine, like, a thousand of these things coming over the horizon' Rogan discussed how humanity worries 'about the Terminators taking over the world,' but suggested AI-powered killing jets are our way of letting them govern us. As evidence, Rogan pointed toward a bruising series of simulated dogfights in 2020 , in which an AI pilot shot down a US Air Force F16 Top Gun five times out of five. 'The AI-controlled jets won 100 percent of the time,' Rogan told Andreessen, prompting the advisor to reveal his shocking predictions. The nimble, smaller, fully automated fighter jets, Andreessen continued to explain, will be capable of performing breakneck aerial combat maneuvers that would otherwise lead a human pilot lose consciousness or become crushed by the intense shifts in momentum. Rogan joked that the AI flying aces would also be more desirable to military planners for their strict logic: 'There's no option for someone to go crazy [...] There's no human element.' Having made his case that AI jet drones, cheaper to manufacture due to their size, will one day buzz the battlefield in droves at five-times the speed of sound (Mach 5), Andreessen then laid out how these coming swarms would change 'the fundamental equation of war.' Above, the simulation as seen from inside the virtual fighter jet. The Air Force hopes a fighter drone piloted by AI would be able to react faster to enemy aircraft in combat 'Fundamentally, in the past, the people who won wars were the people who had the most men and the most material,' he told Rogan. 'In this drone world that we are talking about,' he continued, 'it's going to be the people with the most money and the best technology.' 'Small advanced states, like Singapore,' Andreessen cited as one example, 'will be able to punch way above their weight.' 'And then, large economically and technologically backward states that normally would have won will now lose,' he added. 'It's going to be a recalibration.' The White House advisor's appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience , released Tuesday, echoed comments made by another billionaire tech mogul, Elon Musk, who now has the ear of President-elect Donald Trump. 'Crewed fighter jets are an inefficient way to extend the range of missiles or drop bombs. A reusable drone can do so without all the overhead of a human pilot,' Musk wrote in a post to his social media site X.com this past Sunday. The podcast and Musk's comments also come as private aviation companies are quietly developing AI-controlled war machines. A prototype of Boeing's Ghost Bat (above) has already managed to prove itself to the Royal Australian Air Force - which has paid over $531 million (USD) for the privilege of one day arming the troubled aerospace firm's killer AI drone fleet with 'strike capability' With roughly 53 cubic-feet of storage capacity within its nose for interchangeable payloads, Boeing's Ghost Bats could one day carry a variety of bombs and munitions including multiple tactical nuclear weapons Aerospace giant Boeing recently proposed fleet of 'un-crewed' killer aircraft, piloted by 'artificial intelligence' and dubbed MQ-28 Ghost Bats, would number in the thousands for the US alone. With roughly 53 cubic-feet of storage capacity within its nose for interchangeable payloads, Boeing's Ghost Bats could one day carry a variety of bombs and munitions including multiple tactical nuclear weapons. Currently, three prototypes of the Ghost Bat have been built and flight-tested in Australia for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) with at least one of those delivered to United States for its own tests and integration trials. However, critics told DailyMail.com in September that Boeing's plans raise concerns for public safety, national security and simply 'good use of of taxpayer funds.' 'Boeing's track record doesn't seem to indicate that it's necessarily the best one to implement this kind of thing,' as one former State Department official, Steven Feldstein, told DailyMail.com. Read More EXCLUSIVE Fears over Boeing's plan to create AI-piloted fighter jets for US military - despite scandals Boeing is in the running for a $6 billion contract with the US Air Force, which wants 1,000 AI-piloted fighter jets that can fly 30ft above the ground at 600mph and make moves that are too dangerous for manned planes . The jets would bolster the current ailing and outdated fleet that leaders say is the smallest and oldest since the Air Force became a separate service in 1947. Along with Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Atomics and Anduril Industries are also eyeing the contract. But only the Boeing Ghost Bat has been flown publicly. The Air Force, however, paused the contract award this month to rethink the aircraft's requirements of a fleet poised to replace the stealthy F-22 Raptor.

DENVER — So you're the most valuable player of that annual Thanksgiving Day backyard flag football game. Or played tackle football on any level. Or ran track. Or dabbled in basketball. Or toyed with any sport, really. Well, this may be just for you: USA Football is holding talent identification camps all over the country to find that next flag football star. It's "America's Got Talent" meets "American Idol," with the stage being the field and the grand prize a chance to compete for a spot on a national team. Because it's never too early to start planning for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, where flag football will make its Summer Games debut. Know this, though — it's not an easy team to make. The men's and women's national team rosters are at "Dream Team" status given the men's side has captured six of the last seven world championships and the women three in a row. To remain on top, the sport's national governing body is scouring every football field, park, track, basketball court and gym to find hidden talent to cultivate. USA Football has organized camps and tryouts from coast to coast for anyone ages 11 to 23. There are more than a dozen sites set up so far, ranging from Dallas (Sunday) to Chicago (Dec. 14) to Tampa (March 29) to Los Angeles (TBD) and the Boston area (April 27), where it will be held at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots. The organization has already partnered with the NFL on flag football initiatives and programs. The numbers have been through the roof, with engagement on social media platforms increasing by 86% since flag football was announced as an Olympic invitational sport in October 2023. The participation of boys and girls ages 6 to 17 in flag football last year peaked at more than 1.6 million, according to USA Football research. "We pride ourselves on elevating the gold standard across the sport," said Eric Mayes, the managing director of the high performance and national teams for USA Football. "We want to be the best in the world — and stay the best in the world." Flag football was one of five new sports added to the LA28 program. The already soaring profile of American football only figures to be enhanced by an Olympic appearance. Imagine, say, a few familiar faces take the field, too. Perhaps even NFL stars such as Tyreek Hill or Patrick Mahomes, maybe even past pro football greats donning a flag belt for a country to which they may have ties. Soon after flag football's inclusion, there was chatter of NFL players possibly joining in on the fun. Of course, there are logistical issues to tackle before their inclusion at the LA Olympics, which open July 14, 2028. Among them, training camp, because the Olympics will be right in the middle of it. The big question is this: Will owners permit high-priced players to duck out for a gold-medal pursuit? No decisions have yet been made on the status of NFL players for the Olympics. For now, it's simply about growing the game. There are currently 13 states that sanction girls flag football as a high school varsity sport. Just recently, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles helped pave the way to get it adopted in Pennsylvania. Around the world, it's catching on, too. The women's team from Japan took third at the recent word championships, while one of the best players on the planet is Mexico quarterback Diana Flores. "Could flag football globally become the new soccer? That's something to aspire to," said Stephanie Kwok, the NFL's vice president of flag football. This type of flag football though, isn't your Thanksgiving Day game with family and friends. There's a learning curve. And given the small roster sizes, versatility is essential. Most national team members need to be a version of Colorado's two-way standout and Heisman hopeful Travis Hunter. Forget bump-and-run coverage, too, because there's no contact. None. That took some adjusting for Mike Daniels, a defensive back out of West Virginia who earned a rookie minicamp invitation with the Cleveland Browns in 2017. "If a receiver is running around, I'm thinking, 'OK, I can kind of bump him here and there and nudge him,'" Daniels explained. "They're like, 'No, you can't.' I'm just like, 'So I'm supposed to let this guy just run?!' I really rebelled at the idea at first. But you learn." The competition for an Olympic roster spot is going to be fierce because only 10 players are expected to make a squad. The best 10 will earn it, too, as credentials such as college All-American or NFL All-Pro take a backseat. "I would actually love" seeing NFL players try out, said Daniels, who's also a personal trainer in Miami. "I'm not going to let you just waltz in here, thinking, 'I played NFL football for five years. I'm popular. I have a huge name.' I'm still better than you and I'm going to prove it — until you prove otherwise." Around the house, Bruce Mapp constantly swivels his hips when turning a hallway corner or if his daughter tries to reach for a hug. It's his way of working on avoiding a "defender" trying to snare the flag. That approach has earned the receiver out of Coastal Carolina four gold medals with USA Football. The 31-year-old fully plans on going for more gold in Los Angeles. "You grow up watching Usain Bolt (win gold) and the 'Redeem Team' led by Kobe Bryant win a gold medal, you're always thinking, 'That's insane.' Obviously, you couldn't do it in your sport, because I played football," said Mapp, who owns a food truck in the Dallas area. "With the Olympics approaching, that (gold medal) is what my mind is set on." It's a common thought, which is why everything — including talent camps — starts now. "Everybody thinks, 'Yeah, the U.S. just wins,'" Daniels said. "But we work hard all the time. We don't just walk in. We don't just get off the bus thinking, 'We're going to beat people.'"
