And without compromising stealth as well.

They are possibly talking about external moving parts. There have already been experiments with deformable wings, so the wings aerodynamic properties can be adjusted whilst maintaining a totally smooth, seamless skin.

Or, they are talking about deformable aerofoils and fuselages.
Instead of having a flap on a hinge, the wing is a single shape blended smoothly into the body with a portion that can flex to adjust the aerodynamic properties.

It's a pastafarian breakaway group who believe in some ancient pastronaut theories about the earthly incarnation of the spaghetti monster.
They are not saying it was aliens ... but ...

Shit, for a moment I read it as 'pastronaut' and thought it was about Italian cooking in space.

I made a sarcastic observation about human nature. People often spout nonsense, and they frequently believe it as well.

I guess you haven't quite caught up with the meaning of my comment yet.

"They are convinced it's the beginning of an emergent form of reasoning intelligence. Its severe limitation, as with all LLMs, is that they frequently produce utter nonsense and have no way of telling the difference between nonsense and reality."
That sounds like average human intelligence to me - spouts nonsense and can't tell the difference between it and reality.

Student will have to take written exams, and their writing styles in exams will be used as a baseline for analysing their other coursework.
. . . Then they will learn how to train an AI to mimic their writing styles and we will have to instigate vivas for every student just to check they know what they are studying.

Yes, it is. It's called an open-label placebo.
