Can’t imagine what could possibly go wrong with this idea.
This is so much better than passing common sense gun laws.
And cheaper! /s
Can’t concentrate with all the humming and weird pop noises!
Anything besides sensible gun control.
Yep, these definitely won’t get hacked
Damn, even school shooters get to work from home now.
Betting there’s a contest for it at Defcon 2026
Why get your hands bloody assaulting a school yourself, when you can get a job at the drone control centre and mow down a bunch of kids from two cities away?
I can’t imagine that anything will go wrong. /s
I can’t wait for one of these drones to go rouge…
They’ll definitely look pretty with makeup on
And red is probably their color too.
I don’t deal with children, is this sort of thing not a deal breaker for parents?
And a state-of-the art facility where all the children are held in place by magnets.
“Do you have and/or operate armed drones” has not been one of the questions I’ve thought to bring up at past PTA meetings.
Armed with pepper balls
"Once airborne, they offer two-way communication through an embedded speakerphone. They also can break glass, make loud noises, fire nonlethal pepper-spray pellets or take other action within a minute as a first response to an incident. "
Whats “other action”?
Doesnt say specifically. Says later in the article that it can knock people down with “kinetic attacks,” so probably that. Or maybe a secret rocket launcher, idk
Calling it ai drone watching all American citizens within 5 years.
theres some gnarly drones. like explosive drones that travel in groups of hundreds. theres nothing you can do when a sea of drones come at you endlessly.
I’ve been predicting that terrorist (aka conservatives in the US) will start using them from long range soon. I’m surprised that this didn’t start happening sooner but I guess people of that disposition aren’t very clever so it’s taken a whole lot longer to catch on.
A crude emp pulse generator is very easy to make. You could probably do it with just the junk tech everyone has around at this point. Battery, wire, switch, maybe a metal bar. Think a capacitor is the only real thing most people can’t just throw together. I mean you could but it takes a little skill.
I don’t see this going wrong at all. Do you know how long a drone battery lasts? Do you trust AI to pick out the right kids to shoot?
Wtf timeline am I in?
Ah AI only has trouble with minority skin colors so it’s not really a problem. /s
The one where five white dudes who hoarded all the money control everything.
I see no possibility of this going wrong. /s
Snort idea. Get there fast and get them down. If, as the article says, the most deaths happen in the first 120 seconds, then time is of the essence to stop them as quickly as possible.
Then again, they could just start feeding people properly and make guns harder to get. But since those are apparently not an option, I guess this is a “best of a bad situation” kind of deal.
I’m giving 5 to 1 that within the first three months some script kiddie will take one for a joy ride around campus.
Snort idea.
Nailed it! Anyone have more cocaine?
NO!!
*snff*
Oh man… I just got nostalgic for Bush Jr.
Is it getting cold in here or is it just me? ;-)
Gotta admit, I have no idea how that one happened.
Autocorrect? Feels like I’ve been drafted this iOS beta cycle.
I can’t possibly be the best choice to train their new AI. I failed every English class but one.
I wonder if the tele-cops operating these things will get bonus points for friendly fire hits
