@BBBrasil The thing is, you train ONE and you've trained them all! So that's definitely one upside.
Another being, one learns a new trick, and they all will have that ability.
I do really like that aspect of these AI Wingmen! _(in addition to not risking a human's live, that is)z
I'm still not sure where I stand on letting them have fire control, or if someone back at base should be monitoring one (more?) drones, as a human co-pilot of sorts, similar to current drones. Or, maybe ideally, having the lead aircraft have a Weapons Systems Officer, except he's not control his aircraft's ordinance, only the Wingmen's...?
Which for all I know, that may indeed be the plan... 🤷♂️ [EDIT: And turns out, it's indeed not a thing they (currently) permit the drones to do autonomously, I just hasn't gotten to that point in the video yet lol]
(aside from the latter, since there's aren't any two-seat F-35s, and I'm not sure if elongating the plane to accommodate one would be possible)

@user-McGiver Alec explains who he is. He's a South African (but moved to the US long ago) and is the founder of SpaceX, the go-to rocket company and service, which pioneered reusable first stage boosters that land themselves after launch. They're also working on the largest rocket in history (to successfully launch), which will also be reused, but this time the ENTIRE rocket gets reused, not just the main Booster.
He also founded Tesla, an electric car company, which has also branched out in making stylish solar panel kits for homes, and large battery power power banks for the energy grid. And also they're working on bipedal humanoid robots, similar to what Boston Dynamics have been working on for years, but far far more human in size/appearance. (they're called Tesla Optimus)
And if course the Starlink satellite internet company, which has been a serious game changer! It allows really fast internet anywhere in the world, and WAY lower latency versus previous satellite internet offerings. (30ms round trip, vs 750ms, which 1000ms is 1 second; it's hard to purposely convey how important and impressive that is)
I have Starlink for my home internet.
And of course let's not forget that he bought Twitter a couple years ago, and is why it was renamed to X 😋
He has also started other companies, but which are less popular. One is a large tunnel boring company to create the Hyperloop underground train network, which will operate in a near-vacuum (no air in the tube), which will allow them to travel insanely fast. Said company is intentionally silly in its name: "Boring Company".
The other is the "Neuralink", which is developing brain implantable chips to allow us to directly communicate with computers. That's still very early in development and only has two test subjects currently, but the most recent one has shown promise by apparently being able to play some games solely through "mind control".
Lastly, he's the literal richest person in the world.
Jeff Bezos, who founded Amazon, is #3 (according to Forbes).
So all in all, it's surprising you've not heard of him
He's a smart dude, but has a bit of an ego, and he "runs his mouth" a lot, saying things he probably shouldn't... which has actually caused quite a bit of problems for him. Unfortunately, for all his good qualities, he has equally bad flaws.
