I’m not sure how that business insider piece is applicable. Fighter jets have a huge range of available telemetry, not just visual spectrum cameras. High intensity LEDs might fool a camera but they won’t fool radar.

I don’t think the problem is fundamentally different from the pre-AI state of electronic warfare and countermeasures.

Ah, but you need to compute to make that happen. More compute comes with greater trade-offs in terms of potential side channels to exploit. You're absolutely right.

It's just another step in the arms race ladder.
