In the future, thereâs not going to be any Top Gun school where pilots spend weeks, months, and years perfecting their craft. Instead, AI pilots â terminator drones â are going to take their place. [Outsider Club Header]
Sep 26, 2023 by Jason Simpkins for the Outsider Club How to Profit From âTerminator Dronesâ The war in Ukraine has proven to be a crucible for military technology. Much of what weâve seen has been old school. It turns out trenches, minefields, and artillery are still a huge part of modern warfare. However, weâve also seen a glimpse of the future â namely through the use of unmanned vehicles, which will one day come to replace troops altogether. In just the past week, the Ukrainian military says its drones took out 205 Russian assets, including 64 heavy guns, 27 tanks, 55 trucks, 38 armored combat vehicles, and three pieces of radio equipment. This has been a running theme of the war, as Ukrainian forces have leveraged small, simple, cheaply built drones to overwhelm larger, more formidable, expensive, and complex enemy weaponry. In addition to taking out artillery, tanks, and trucks, Ukrainian drones have also been used to sink or decommission large ships in Russiaâs Black Sea fleet and neutralize fighter jets idling in airfields. Theyâve even been used to assail government buildings in downtown Moscow and damage or destroy key infrastructure like the 12-mile-long, $4 billion Kerch Bridge that connects Crimea to mainland Russia. Secret $563 Million Payday Is Coming Hidden within the freshly introduced Inflation Reduction Act is a clause that's funneling billions of government dollars to certain EV service providers. These providers are bound to distribute a sizable part of their profits to everyday Americans⦠Unlocking an unseen financial gateway for in-the-know investors. Our projections suggest a whopping $563 million stands to get claimed this year. With the kickoff payout slated for October 18th. [Click here to reveal this extraordinary new venture while it remains viable.]( Indeed, the commander of one Ukrainian drone outfit estimates that with just $700,000 of equipment, his unit has destroyed more than $80 million worth of Russian equipment. And theyâve accomplished all of this with minimal human casualties. Given that, itâs no wonder Ukraine is taking major steps to expand its drone capabilities, pouring billions of dollars into a manufacturing build-out and attempting to train more than 10,000 new drone pilots this year. But what you have to realize is thatâs just the start. We're currently in the very earliest stages of this transition. We are on the precipice of a transformational shift that will see these small, cheap drones grow in size and capability â so much so that they replace manned fighters entirely. In the future, thereâs not going to be any Top Gun school where pilots spend weeks, months, and years perfecting their craft. Instead, AI pilots â terminator drones â are going to take their place. These AI pilots will be programmed to understand an aircraftâs exact capabilities and limitations. And they will trust those metrics even when a human pilot wouldnât have the confidence or physical ability to execute on them. Oppenheimer Would NEVER Have Seen This Coming After 70 years, J. Robert Oppenheimerâs legacy is being rewritten. Itâs all due to the breakthroughs being made in next-gen nuclear technology, like small modular reactors (SMRs). These mini reactors are safer, smaller, and will start popping up all over the world in the next few years... But the real opportunity isnât in the builders of these SMRs â itâs in their fuel source. [You need to see this one for yourself immediately.]( How do I know this? Because itâs already happening, and Iâve been closely following this highly secretive project for years. Thatâs why I know that back in 2016 an AI pilot called Alpha beat an experienced human combat flight instructor. And a few years later in 2020, another AI algorithm beat out seven teams of human fighter pilots in a virtual dogfight.  I even know that Chinese scientists got similar results earlier this year when an AI pilot bested a human pilot stationed remotely on the ground. But most importantly, I know [the company thatâs been cooperating with our military to take experiments like these and turn them into reality](. Itâs all part of âProject Wingmanâ â an effort thatâs paired autonomous drones with manned craft to create an unbeatable team. These AI wingmen are gearing up to fly right alongside our pilots in F-16s, F-35s, and B-2s. They can fly ahead of their manned counterparts, probing enemy defenses with sensors and radar equipment. What they find can be instantly relayed to fighter formations, providing a real-time map of enemy targets and potential threats. There's $322 Billion Worth of Lithium in Northwest Alberta...Why Can't Anybody Touch It? For more than 40 years, an oil company has been working a 671-square-mile chunk of northwestern Alberta, producing its lifeblood using brine thatâs kept in hundreds of massive storage ponds. These storage ponds have long been known to contain a massive lithium resource, totaling an estimated 4.3 million tons. Just recently a tiny Vancouver-based technology company, founded and headed by petrochemical industry veterans, figured out a way to extract the lithium from this brine, very quickly and very efficiently. So efficiently, in fact, that the company can filter this oil field brine, returning it to the pond after processing, with a better than 95% capture rate. Production of salable lithium will cost between $3,000 and $4,000 per ton, while market rates price lithium at $70,000 per ton. They know where the lithium is, they know how to extract it, and, as of now, they have an agreement in place to work this giant lithium-rich property. Commercial production is now projected to be in place by the middle of 2024, with buyers already lining up. [Interested?

And they can do it all autonomously, pooling vast amounts of data and intelligence from the militaryâs cloud, processing it, and acting on it in a fraction of the time it would take a human to even comprehend. Thatâs why they will one day come to replace humans altogether. Remember, just last week, a pilot ejected from an F-35, leaving the military to scramble to find out where the jet ended up. Well, imagine if instead, an AI pilot was simply able to resume control of the jet and land it safely. Thatâs what weâre working toward, and thatâs why [the company Iâve found to profit from this trend has so much potential](. Like I said, itâs been a key Pentagon partner in this endeavor for years, and itâs hardly a household name. Itâs not one of the Big Five or a massive conglomerate. On the contrary, itâs quite small, which is why investors have such a terrific opportunity to profit. You have to act fast, though, because the window wonât stay open forever. [So get all the details here while you can.]( Fight on, [Jason Simpkins Signature] Jason Simpkins [follow basic]([@OCSimpkins on Twitter]( Jason Simpkins is Assistant Managing Editor of the Outsider Club and Investment Director of Wall Street's Proving Ground, a financial advisory focused on security companies and defense contractors.
