GREG GUTFELD: Bumble's 'white flag' shows women 'found it too hard' to make the first move in online dating

FOX News

'Gutfeld!' panelists weigh in on dating app Bumble's Opening Moves feature where women won't have to make the first move amid the app's plunging stock price. The birds and the bees bring Bumble to its knees. I refer to the Bumble dating app, which launched a decade ago, described as the feminist version of Tinder -- but maybe it should have been called Hinder, because that's what these feminists did to women trying to meet men. Bumble's big innovation was that only female users could make the first move to contact a potential match. But that was Bumble's brand: The women get to ask, and the men don't.

Clari, the leader in Revenue Collaboration & Governance (RevCG), announced that a record number of customers are now running their entire revenue process on the Clari Revenue Platform. Adding an average of one new customer a day since the Wingman acquisition in June, Clari now counts more than 1,000 organizations on its roster. The acquisition of Wingman, a leader in conversation intelligence, added the unprecedented ability to analyze customer and employee conversations to Clari's category-leading Revenue Platform. The Clari Revenue Platform goes beyond forecasting, giving revenue leaders a past, present, and future look into their revenue, as well as the ability to extract valuable AI-driven insights and provide real-time coaching for sales teams.

Tomorrow's 'Top Gun' might have drone wingman, use AI

#artificialintelligence

Maverick's next wingman could be a drone. In the movies, fighter pilots are depicted as highly trained military aviators with the skills and experience to defeat adversaries in thrilling aerial dogfights. New technologies, though, are set to redefine what it means to be a "Top Gun," as algorithms, data and machines take on a bigger role in the cockpit -- changes hinted at in "Top Gun: Maverick." "A lot of people talk about, you know, the way of the future, possibly taking the pilot out of the aircraft," said 1st Lt. Walker Gall, an F-35 pilot with the U.S. 48th Fighter Wing based at RAF Lakenheath in England. "That's definitely not something that any of us look forward to." "I'd like to keep my job as long as possible, but I mean, it's hard to argue with newer and newer technology," he said.


Admiral: Artificial Intelligence Will Be A Wingman, Not a Lead - Seapower

#artificialintelligence

The Navy is very much on board for integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning into its networks, but human decision makers must always be part of the decision process in warfighting, an admiral said. "From a warfighting perspective, artificial intelligence subsets would be enablers or augments to the human in the loop," said Rear Adm. Paul Spedero Jr., director, Fleet Integrated Readiness and Analysis, U.S. Fleet Forces Command, speaking April 8 during a Navy League webinar sponsored by Deloitte. "That has always been our approach. I don't see that changing. There are some things that can't be replaced; the experience of a seasoned warfighter in the field being able to assess things that a machine -- no matter how much we teach it -- may never be able to pick up on. There's always going to be a necessity for [experience-based decision making]. That necessity for war fighting will never go away -- to have a human in the loop. "AI will be our wingmen," he said. "It will not be the lead in a fight." Spedero said in the world of data analysis, his current focus, there "certainly is a place for AI, particularly machine learning, as we try to get to that predictive and prescriptive level of data analytics.

Ripsaw M5 Robot TANK with armour-piercing ammunition and on-board drones is built for the US Army

Daily Mail - Science & tech

A new robotic tank that can be equipped with armour-piercing ammunition and on-board surveillance drones has been built for the US Army. Intended to serve as a'wingman' for manned tanks and other armoured vehicles, the so-called'Ripsaw M5' is adaptable for support, combat and surveillance. The M5 is the latest remote controlled successor of the US Army's manned Ripsaw MS2 tank, which had a 600 horsepower engine and max speed of 60 miles per hour. The M5 can carry a so-called'Skyraider' quadcopter, centre right-- which has a maximum air speed of 31 miles per hour (50 kph), can carry payloads of 4.4 pounds (2 kg) and remain airborne for as long as 50 minutes -- and has an optical and infrared camera turret, centre left The Ripsaw M5 is a heavily-armoured'Robotic Combat Vehicle'. It is intended to serve as a'wingman' for manned tanks and other vehicles.


AI could be your wingman--er, wingbot--on your next first date

#artificialintelligence

The art of matchmaking has traditionally been the province of grandmas and best friends, parents, and even--sometimes--complete strangers. Recently they've been replaced by swipes and algorithms in an effort to automate the search for love. But Kevin Teman wants to take things one step further.


Robotic fighter jets could soon join military pilots on combat missions

#artificialintelligence

Military pilots may soon have a new kind of wingman to depend upon: not flesh-and-blood pilots but fast-flying, sensor-studded aerial drones that fly into combat to scout enemy targets and draw enemy fire that otherwise would be directed at human-piloted aircraft. War planners see these robotic wingmen as a way to amplify air power while sparing pilots' lives and preventing the loss of sophisticated fighter jets, which can cost more than $100 million apiece. "These drone aircraft are a way to get at that in a more cost-effective manner, which I think is really a game-changer for the Air Force," says Paul Scharre, director of the technology and national security program at the Center for a New American Security, a think tank in Washington, D.C. Unlike slow-moving drones such as the Reaper and the Global Hawk, which are flown remotely by pilots on the ground, the new combat drones would be able to operate with minimal input from human pilots. To do that, they'd be equipped with artificial intelligence systems that give them the ability not only to fly but also to learn from and respond to the needs of the pilots they fly alongside. "The term we use in the Air Force is quarterbacking," says Will Roper, assistant secretary of the U.S. Air Force for acquisition, technology and logistics and one of the experts working to develop the AI wingmen.


Advancements in Artificial Intelligence Prompt Curiosity, Concern

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence research has been around for more than half a century, but only in recent years have we seen developments in AI technology that might bring sci-fi film plotlines to life. Merriam-Webster defines AI as "a branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers" and "the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior." Today, the more benign uses of AI include software that scans thousands of job applicant resumes in minutes – saving recruiters countless hours of manual screening – and AI algorithms that review patient X-rays and CT scans to highlight potential findings for radiologists. But even the beneficial aspects of AI – increased efficiency and accuracy – portend an increasingly automated job market in which some workers will continue to see their positions replaced by machines. Some of the more nefarious applications of AI have been the stuff of Hollywood movies for years – like the prospect of widespread death and destruction caused by unmanned autonomous weapons designed to make lethal decisions.


US Army testing self-driving Humvee to see if it can shoot

Daily Mail - Science & tech

The US Army is testing a self-driving Humvee truck that it hopes will help soldiers who are trapped in dangerous situations on the battlefield. The Humvee, which is called the'Wingman', is being tested to see if it can accurately identify and shoot targets. Mounted on top of the truck is a .50-caliber The robotic Humvee, pictured, is part of a two-vehicle system called the'Wingman,' which also includes a command and control vehicle that's manned by three soldiers The autonomous remote engagement system is supposed to reduce the time it takes to identify targets by using a'vision-based automatic target detection and user-specified target selection,' the Army said. The Army conducted a live fire exercise using the Wingman Humvee last year, but it hopes to conduct more exercises with more heavily armed ground robots in the next few years, according to Defense One.
