I see we've moved on from the 'Don't be evil' era.
Futurology
From “Don’t be evil” to “Maybe just a little evil”, and now to “Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb”.
“The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a kamikaze drone is a good guy with a kamikaze drone”
That is in the imperative mood. So he was telling other people to not be evil. He never said he shouldn't be evil.
And now he has the kamikaze drones to back up his demands
Honestly this seems less evil than a lot of stuff Google itself does.
Is his startup really revolutionizing warfare if the thing his startup is working on is already being used in a war?
Don't worry, it'll have AI and blockchain to capture those sweet sweet funding dollars.
Quantum
Damn! I missed this one. That'll easily add $1b in capital
My wife bought fireplace logs marketed as "Quantum". They're just a little bigger than the standard one offered.
War Drone with micro-transactions in shitcoin. Yay.
There are working on the next generation.
Probably an automated swarm tightly connected in a mesh network with either charging station they can fly to or mounted solar panels. Most will stay dormant, when one of the patrol drones spots an enemy, it will send a couple of the smaller kill drones to its location.
I'm guessing we might see some new camo roll out with a QR like codes embedded in them. That or maybe they will constantly blink ir lights using a code they change every week or so.
To anyone that thought this scifi vid was just fiction a few years ago: https://youtu.be/9fa9lVwHHqg
I’ve been worried about this for a decade+. :(
Interesting video. Thanks.
Pretty powerful but I don't believe there is a way to stop this. Only delay it
~~Do no evil~~
Holy shit this is a war crime just from the headline
KillBots
Someone needs to teach a bunch of wild birds to attack drones.
"Do no Evil" to "Do more drone strikes".
Super. 👍
Man. Gotta love tech bros.
next advance in tech : drone jammers
They already exist.
Which is why the next drone advancement is in AI that can operate independently from a lost connection to the operator.
What we need is kamikaze kamikaze drones that fly into incoming drones and blow them up before they hit their target.
