Superintelligence will bring back the railgun and perfect it. Eventually, all guns will become lasers and electromagnetic weapons. Eventually the use case will expand beyond weaponry (like how atomic science did) and be used for travelling.
No it won't. It does not think. It does not develop new things. It's a glorified web scraper.
>>544655223railguns are cool but the first Martian war for independence will be fought and won with kalashnikov pattern rifle.
>>544655482Give it enough data access and it can combine highly specialized research from different fields that no human ever thought of, thus leading to innovation.
>>544655223Railguns use the electricity ChatGPT needs to make cat memes. We're going back to bows and arrows while Bezos lives in LEO.
>>544655223Never happening, railguns are shit. The US Navy spent billions of dollars to find that out.>>544655482It synthesizes ideas together which is exactly what humans do.
>>544655586aww shit we going full Elysium baby
>>544655223>bring backThey used to use these bad boys back in the revolutionary war. Good times. Glad they're coming back
>>544655223I wonder what laseranon would be doing with AI if he hadn't, allegedly, murdered his two neighbors.
>>544655617>Never happening, railguns are shitThey couldn't solve the barrel. That's the only issue. SI will solve that. You don't even need a barrel to guide the projectile, you just need a vaccum chamber.
>>544655223Electric weapons have piss poor energy density.
>>544655997>Electric weapons have piss poor energy density.Energy density has no limit kek. What's limiting is the size of the supercapacitor and battery. Once we have big batteries, which SI will solve it, every gun will be lasers.
>>544655223>SuperintelligenceMigatards will not inherit the earth.
Lmfao anyways dumb assGunpowder and missiles are ancient tech Let me know when you got a laser beam rifle and can melt a cop into his own shoes on the side of the road
>>544656130>Gunpowder and missiles are ancient techThat's literally what this thread is about. Lasers have no limits. It can knock down planes 50k feet above while being handheld (if no cloud obstruction).
>>544656074If only you had a understanding of basic high-school level chemistry
>>544655223I hope deepmind develops a zombie virus like on left 4 dead uwu before doing this
>>544656074batteries are shit. wireless power trasmission is where its at, and where all research should be going into.
>>544656400Yes chemistry is limited that's why supercapacitors are such efficient.>>544656562I agree.

>>544655223That's fucking retarded.The AI doesn't need to invent linear motors.Using a railgun for travel? It's called maglev train.
>>544656623Sure, what could go wrong with having an easily dischargeable battery with an energy density 10 or 20 times that of chemical explosives?Preorder your grave marker, faggot.And storing energy isn't the problem, retard, it's extracting it efficiently and safely.
>>544658277Electrical discharge from supercapacitors aren't bad. Lithium batteries literally blows up everything. Electrostatic is the best way to store electricity and Nikola Tesla proved that.
>>544655223There will be gravity based weapons and travel, midwit
>>544660863>gravity based weapons and travelWhat?
>>544655997>>544656562Common misconception. M193 5.56 out of a 16" barrel has 1200 foot pounds/1,627 Joules of muzzle energy. That's only 0.45 Watt hours. Pic related is a little 18650 rechargeable battery that stores 14.8 Watt Hours of energy. So you can see that the real problem is how to impart that energy upon a projectile without losing 99% as heat.
>>544655482>It's a glorified web scraper.And the recent maths crying proved that humans really fucking suck at pooling all they have already discovered and using it to solve shit they are individually stuck on.Literally same deal than decompilation: the AI maybe isn't creative nor smart, but unlike humans it has no issue holding everything in its head at once, which make a lot of problems suddenly piss-easy to solve.
