How long until someone hacks a drone and uses it to commit a school shooting?

[–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 46 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How long until someone creates a plausibly convincing fake of these drones and uses them to perform a false flag or massacre with no chance of culpability?

[–] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh I guess that would be easier

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Or some situation arises where innocent students are the target

[–] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"You see, your kids died, but at least it was only your kids, and not anyone else. They probably would have died from the shooting anyways lmao"

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Or when they start using the drones as truancy officers as a cost cutting measure …

[–] Darkenfolk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

"Truancy is at an all time low" report various government instances. Oddly enough child sized coffins sales at an all time high, experts call it an "odd coincidence" more at 5.

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 69 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

The number of guns will be increased again to handle the problems caused by the increased number of guns.

[–] BeanGoblin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 46 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The shootings will continue until morale improves

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

The shootings will continue until ~~morale~~ the shootings improve~~s~~

[–] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

An American solution to an American problem.

[–] marlowe221@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

If only there were some easily identifiable common denominator…

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 45 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Florida once again forgets that Black Mirror is a cautionary tale.

Soon they will reveal their latest invention, the Torment Nexus, from the hit Sci Fi novel, Don't Create the Torment Nexus.

Yeah this will go swimmingly. Especially if you’re the supplier of drones to the schools.

These will be purchased, sit in a cabinet and never be charged or maintained. When they are “needed”, no one will know how to operate them or what they can do.

This is a waste of money from the hit git go.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 weeks ago

I give it 6 months before some kid asks ChatGPT to help him hijack these drones instead of bringing a gun of his own. He’ll murder his classmates with irony.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

They just need more school shootings, so these things get proper use.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 28 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

And when one of these Drones KILLS INNOCENT CHILDREN we can get Drones for our Drones to Protect our Kids from our Drones we Put in Their SCHOOLS!

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago

You are now moderator of the Drone Marketing Association sub.

[–] turdburglar@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

the only way to stop a bad drone with a gun is….

[–] mogranja@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

We'll find out how successful the system is soon enough.

Yikes.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 23 points 2 weeks ago

What a shithole country.

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Me watching T2 as a kid: this will never happen.
Me now: oh

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

As long as the drones are fully autonomous but still use WiFi with the factory default password, it should be OK.

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 11 points 2 weeks ago

Don't forget, that the password is written on the bottom, so its visible when they fly above you

[–] ideonek@piefed.social 19 points 2 weeks ago

How can you read a proposal like this and not immediately go "Nope. That's it. We went too far. We lost. Let's circle back and start this entire society again from scratch"?

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I predict this will end in complete success.

We shall define "success" later.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They will decide they don't really want to do it after all. After millions has been given to various companies and contractors.

Can't be any school shootings if there isn't either school or children in them. Success.

[–] dissentiate@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm starting to feel like I'm living the prequel to Cyberpunk 2077...

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 13 points 2 weeks ago

You better start believing in cyberpunk dystopias, Miss Turner. You're in one!

[–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Brother, I'm already living in night city.

[–] dissentiate@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

Don't worry choom, we'll get through this somehow...

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The only thing to prevent school shooting seems to be more guns, AND more automated guns. Somehow.

[–] Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not guns that are the problem, it's bullets, just ban selling bullets, let everyone keep there guns, problem will sort itself in a year or 2

Can the armed drone open classroom doors better than Uvalde police officers?

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

A dead fish can open doors better than Uvalde police officers.

What could possibly go wrong 🤦🏻‍♂️

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Anything to get rid of gun violence, as long as you don't get rid of guns.

[–] Alenalda@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Why address the underlying issues when we can sell weapons to all sides? The only things we make where in America are weapons and fossil fuels. There's money to be made!

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 weeks ago

Because that is much more efficient than just simply having GUN CONTROL! Why not give every school an APV AND TANKS?!

[–] shirro@aussie.zone 9 points 2 weeks ago

Americans are dumb cunts.

HAAACCCKKKKS

Manhacks HL2

[–] PumpkinSkink@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

As a teacher, my first question to admin would be "so what do we do when a group of 15 year old boys get it and start flying it around the neighborhood"?

[–] NoodlePoint@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Fucking stupidest idea I ever seen.

The US has more guns than its total population. Real GUN CONTROL is needed.

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

anything but the actual solution. like we had automatics and semi autos back when in the start of the country

[–] andre613@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

ANYTHING to avoid sensible gun control eh? Just throw more guns at the problem!
