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

My wife bought fireplace logs marketed as "Quantum". They're just a little bigger than the standard one offered.

Damn! I missed this one. That'll easily add $1b in capital

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.
