Could a self-aware artificial intelligence be created if every computer on the planet was used as its processor? Is a true AI even possible to create, or is it something that's pure fantasy?

If there was some kind of top secret wing of some kind of shadow government, and they are doing stuff like reverse engineering alien technology or whatever tickles your fancy, how would you get in to such a room? If such a thing exists. what sort of academics and personality traits would give you the best chance to be involved?

The F35 has some amazing technology.

OP here. It might have been cheaper to just order more F-22's which is a completed program with a set design that was in production. The problem is that the F-22 is a poor strike fighter, it just wasn't designed to carry air-to-ground ordnance while remaining stealthy. It cannot fit the mission profile needed. Sure, we could design a "strike raptor" like we did with the F-15E, turning an air superiority fighter into a strike fighter. However, this is STILL another weapons program that's likely to cost a boatload.

What do we use for strike missions? A strike-fighter drone would rock, but it'd need the ability to independently operate, as the signal transmissions needed for remote operation would be a huge liability.

The sensor suite for the F-35 is crazy. IRST and AESA radar coupled with the JHMCS is just tits. I can see a lot of spin-off uses for tech like this.
