I see we've moved on from the 'Don't be evil' era.

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
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.
You see these drones will track your google ad ID, much more accurate
~~Do no evil~~
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+. :(
Came to the comments to post this video. You beat me to it; well done!
Interesting video. Thanks.
Pretty powerful but I don't believe there is a way to stop this. Only delay it
Horizon Zero Dawn
I was just reminded how the big reveal is the same as the surge. Corporate big bad was the true villain all along, even though they were already dead.
"Do no Evil" to "Do more drone strikes".
Holy shit this is a war crime just from the headline
Man. Gotta love tech bros.
Someone needs to teach a bunch of wild birds to attack drones.
KillBots
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.
kamikaze kamikaze drones that fly into incoming drones
Interesting idea. If this could shift human wars into proxy wars between robot armies, that could eliminate unnecessary suffering. Is this something to strive for?
Super. 👍
