Another compelling Bad Brad video pick.
Slaughterbots is short movie about surgical precision air strikes- drones that use facial recognition to take out whoever your enemy happens to be. Show it a picture. Release it. And the person is dead. Untraceable.
I think this is a chilling cautionary tale. The future could be a terrible place. We all have a responsibility to understand that and do what we can to prevent the worst.
Saw that on American Digest. Scary stuff, and well within the reach of technology within the very near future.
Lock your doors. Wear a mask when you go outside.
Be very afraid.
Can the photo be hacked and another photo substituted?
Like a liberal?
So this is why Pinko blurs his photo
would suck to be an intended target’s doppelgänger…
The genie is out of the bottle. This knowledge will spread widely and things can’t end well.
This will drive those in power into hiding behind immense security.
Then there will be an insurmountable barrier between those who rule and those who are ruled
Where can I buy a bag of ’em?!
Here come da Clone jokes…
Oh, Give Me A Clone
(To the tune Home on the Range)
There is a good book about the future called: The Diamond Age
We are in the information age.
The next age will be defined by our reaction to our technology that is autonomous
Burkas, emp’s and 62 falcons
And maybe a Kevlar butterfly net.
@Poor Lazlo (at 6:48 am): “Will be an insurmountable barrier between those who rule and those who are ruled”?
WILL be???
Instant death penalty for anyone
engaged in the design, manufacture
or use; Worldwide. No Appeal.
The drone doesn’t do ugly. It’ll flip over and die if it’s shown a picture of Hillary or Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.
I recently bought a DJI Mavic Pro, it’s pretty amazing how autonomous quad-copters are these days. Press a button and it’s up and hovering, perfectly level and on the spot. Press another button and it will follow you around. Another button will bring it back and land it almost exactly where it took off.
Viet Vet.
‘Fraid so.
No weapon has ever been invented that has not been used.
Invest in armor
Your face is already on file. Drivers license. passport. School picture. Security cameras. Red light cameras, toll booths, fast food, Bill Gates via face recognition gizmos already on the market, medical records, insurance files, smart phone, smart appliances…
It’s too late baby
Your finger prints were filed a long time ago.
Had a baby in the hospital since Dubya administration? That baby’s DNA is on file. The DNA data base includes criminals, is searched by LE for family or individual hits.
no wonder Nanny Pelousi keeps getting new faces
I’d be happy to provide them a hi-def picture of my ass. So they can kiss it.
My fate has always been in God’s hands. And so does the fate of anyone choosing to deploy this weapon.
Home of the Brave??? No longer.
A military destined to become a daycare for whack-jobs whose commanders are no different than basement dwelling video game nerds. W.T.F.
And our political leaders would never consider doing anything proper and just unless it fits their political calculations which insure their personal wealth.
I am buying one of those ‘Judge’ pistols that shoots 410 shotgun.
Gonna load sand in the shells for drone rounds.
Of course I could go low tech and carry an old wooden tennis racquet
In 2008 there was a Nanotech company that had built a Humming Bird drone. It looked and flew exactly like a Humming Bird. But it sounded like a helicopter. I’m sure they had it perfected within 8 months. This technology has been here for a while.
@John: I’m betting that will work as well as an instant death penalty for anyone engaged in the design, manufacture, or use of nuclear weapons would.
Two chances.
They are flawed. They only targeted the politicians on “one side of the aisle”.
Dangerous stuff. Laws or death penalties are not going to deter criminals, religious extremists, rabid political ideologues or hostile governments. Need to develop countermeasures now. Our military needs to stockpile a few million as a deterrent against foreign attack. Need to have a international ban on their use, not that it will work, but still needs to be done.
