If this is military related, im terrified of the future. Sci-fi movies with crazy drones from back when are no longer that cute.

7 years ago, this felt like science fiction:

Now that we've seen the use of drones in the Ukraine war, 10k+ drone light shows, Waymo's autonomous cars, and tons of AI advancements in signals processing and planning, this seems obvious.

This is important.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

We have nuclear weapons.

We already achieved complete destruction potential.

Drones don't change much. It's potentially better for us civilians if drones get used to attack a lot more targeted (think Putin).

This should lead to narrow policies which might be less aggressive

Putin is well protected, way better than US presidents and candidates. With lower prices and barriers it can actually be you, or any low profile target. Luckily real terrorist are mostly uneducated.

The truly scary part is that it’s a straightforward evolution from this to 1000 fps hyperspectral sensors.

There will be no hiding from these things and no possibility of evasion.

They’ll have agility exceeding champion drone pilots and be too small to even see or hear until it’s far too late.

Life in the Donbass trenches is already hell. We’ll find a way to make it worse.

Then it should be possible to use them to counter and defend. Think of AI powered interceptor drones patrolling the area, anti-drone light machine guns.

As long as you keep paying your gemini anti-drone bill and don't set account limits you'll be fine! </s>

You’re right to be terrified
