This kind of shit needs to get banned via international treaty. Doesn't take much of an imagination to see these types of weapons deployed beyond the traditional battlefield as assassination devices (just slave it to your upcoming citizen facial recognition 'anti terrorism' system) or as general population pacification drones.

50/50 as to whether you're serious or not.

 

If joshin'... ha.

 

If not... I can think of about 20 simpler, much less noisy, much more stealthy ways of taking out anyone in the general population. :p

You guys may have posted this for lulz but this story/video shows that these things can be practically built without a lot of effort/sophistication and used to kill people.

Increasing automation of weapons making warfare 'even easier' (e.g. 'we will just have our robots attack you') is not a good thing. I don't doubt for a minute that we are already at a point where our existing drones can be ordered to pick their own targets based on software rules rather than having a human in front of a screen flying a mission.

 

Apologies if this got deeper than it was supposed to.
