Ukraine's military intelligence says it found an Nvidia Jetson Orin computer module in Russia's new S-71 Monochrome cruise missile, indicating possible AI technology use.
It makes sense to use Machine Learning technology (not the Generative crap, the actual pattern recognition stuff) for terminal target recognition.
The surprise would be if Russia did not use AI in their newest cruise missile design - just because their society is fucked up and their leadership is a socipathic, disconnected autocrat surrounded by yes men that put his own personal pride above the lives of millions of his countrymen, doesn’t mean Russia doesn’t have the people with the technical knowledge to design systems with AI (though certainly far fewer of those than they had before they tried to invade Ukraine, since a ton of the Russians with the highest qualifications left).
I mean, given them another 50 years or so in their current trajectory, but for now they’re probably still capable of creating their own high-tech solutions in focused applications.
You severely overestimate Russia’s technological capabilities. For the last 30 years all of the money has been moving to politician’s pockets. They are not losing in Ukraine because of a fluke, they are losing because they are a hollowed out shell of what they used to be.
For many years when I lived in Britain I had a good friend and for a while work colleague who came from Russia. At least when he studied there (so, 30 years ago) their educational system at least for Science and Mathematics was no worse than those in Europe. In fact it’s one of the few good things the so-called “Communist” countries tend to do - they invest heavilly in Education.
Beyond that, there are two different things:
One is a country’s capabilities to have sizable industries operating at a certain technological level.
The other one is finding a handful of specialists for very specific design projects in highly controlled environments where making a profit is no concern.
Whilst it makes sense that Russia has trouble in the first case of actually doing high tech as a business, in size and profitably, because they at least did have a very good educational systems in Science and Mathmatics it also makes sense that they do have people with the know-how there which they could gather for specific high tech design projects were “money is not a problem” since they did train techies as good as the rest of Europe and it was not that long ago so those people are still alive.
Isn’t diffusion the process of training AI to fill in missing detail and denoisong? Based on probability? So why not train it against chaff and smoke and jamming?

Honestly?

Generative AI couldn’t be functionally worse than trying to use birds pecking as a guidance system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Pigeon
Morally bankrupt though
The generative crap requires pattern recognition stuff to work at all.
But I know what you mean. I am just being pedantic.
