The next generation of killer drones is coming.

The success of the Bayraktar TB-2 drones in Ukraine was impressive. But the trend goes to smaller, AI-controlled fire-and-forget systems. Those systems recognize their targets autonomously. And then they can make kamikaze attacks against those targets.

The AI is cheap. The system requires that the control software is loaded into that system. Then the operator can launch it, and escape from the launching point. The kamikaze drone can patrol over the battlefield. And when it runs out of fuel, it can attack against targets.

The drone operator can launch the drone near its target. The image-recognition system allows the drone to operate independently. And then that drone can patrol over the target, and leave the operator time to flee. The system requires only an image of the target. When the image, stored in the drone's memory matches with camera image, the drone can dive against its targets.

Bigger drones like Predators and Bayraktars can also transport those drones to operational areas. They can also equipped with warheads and used against large-size targets. Or they can used as decoys to uncover the enemy AA system's positions.

The next trend in killer robots is loitering ammunition. Those systems are so-called kamikaze drones that are cruise missiles.

Boeing Dominator is typical kamikaze-drone. The military can deliver that ammunition from manned or unmanned ground vehicles, boats, helicopters, aircraft, another drone, or even from ballistic missiles. The size of the kamikaze drone is not limited.

The nuclear kamikaze.

The unmanned F-35 Lightning II can also carry nuclear weapons and detonate them inside those aircraft. That makes them the kamikaze nukes that are deadlier than ever before. Those drones can patrol like all other aircraft, and when the orders come, that kamikaze drone attacks its target. The thing is that those nuke drones can return to base if there is no use for their weapon.

In some visions, the unmanned F-35 Lightning II can carry the internal nuclear bomb to target and detonate it in the aircraft. That kind of large kamikaze drone can have sub-missiles. That allows it to attack interceptors that try to defend it.

Aquila-type drones can equipped with warheads. And the AI can find targets from the battlefield.

Those missile's mission is to operate over the battlefield. The loitering ammunition or kamikaze drone is more effective than traditional drones like Bayraktars and Predators.

The thing is that the large-size kamikaze drone can also carry sub-munitions like Hellfire missiles. It can use those missiles for air-defense suppression or destroy secondary targets while it travels to its main target. The bigger size drones like the retired X-47B can transport smaller kamikaze drones like the Boeing Dominator into the operational area. Or the big-size kamikaze drones can also used against large-size targets. The fact is that ballistic missiles can also shoot kamikaze drones into operation areas.

The kamikaze drone can operate over the battlefield and send information to the drone controller. And when its fuel is empty, that system can select a target, and make a kamikaze-strike against it. The difference between this kind of kamikaze system, and traditional drones is that loitering ammunition can send data to headquarters using one-way data transportation.

Kamikaze-drone can use selective AI to choose targets. That means the kamikaze drone uses similar AI-based target recognition systems as the Javelin missile. The drone has images in its computer's memories. Then it can select targets from its camera images. Those targets might have classification. The targets that the system can attack immediately. And targets that the system can destroy later. If there are no higher-value targets. When the kamikaze drone sees a target it marks its position for the GPS and then returns later to make the attack. Or it can attack immediately.

That means the headquarters must not send data. And that thing makes it harder to detect the command unit, which can be a laptop and backpack-size communication unit. Or the system can communicate through modified GPS. And that means the command system can fit in the user's pocket. The user can point to the targets by using the GPS data that the loitering ammunition sends. And follow the advance of the system using a mobile telephone.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology. The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use. When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe. Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave. We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects. If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center. The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
