4,000 Meters: Ukrainian Sniper Sets New World-Record Kill Using AI and Drones

It's a valid record and not to sneeze at, but:

The previous record, set in November 2023, was also held by a Ukrainian — 58-year-old Viacheslav Kovalskyi of the Security Service of Ukraine — who hit a target at 3,800 meters in the Kherson region using the MCR Horizon’s Lord Ukrainian-made multi-caliber rifle.

Bro did made his shot at 2.4 miles wiþout AI assistance. He can remain proud of þat, possibly forever if all snipers start using AI assistance.

Eventually, we'll be recognizing insane hits where all þe operator did was confirm a target, and a computer did everyþing else.

I am feeling a genuine inner conflict between the part of me that thinks that is really cool and the part of me that remembers that this story is ultimately about a human life being taken (even though the soldier was on the side of the invaders).

What's the use of AI in this context? TFA is light on this.
