Quadrupeds being reviewed have automatic targeting systems but require human oversight to fire.
we are living in the future! the terrifying, horrific future!
Fucking hell. I had really hoped that the world could have gotten off its collective ass to ratify some international agreement limiting the use of AI for shit like this before we’d start seeing these headlines.
No amount of treaties is ever going to prevent the weaponisation of AI. Nobody can afford to not do it.

Hey, fuck this noise.
Welp, here comes skynet

So we made Metalhead from Black Mirror? Cool…cool cool cool…so uhh… how do I wake up from this nightmare again?
They are also working on the Hated in the Nation episode. https://gizmodo.com/former-google-ceo-white-stork-ai-kamikaze-drones-1851192331
Turkey has the STM Kargu, which reportedly was devastating in the most recent # Nagorno-Karabakh fighting, as the autonomous suicide drone can’t be jammed
Ukrainian units have (reportedly) already loaded ‘final approach’ AI target tracking and flight controls on their suicide FPV & glider drones, to counter Russian RF jammers mounted on tanks and heavy vehicles
We really, really aren’t prepared for the threat vector that cheap (sub $500/ea for FPV) and autonomous drones provide, and every RF engineer and drone enthusiast I’ve spoken to has no good counter aside from barriers like nets. And that’s just the ones that fly their bombs INTO things, drone-dropped explosives are hard to detect without thermal imagers or specialized radar/acoustic detection
Soon we’ll have autonomous drone hunter drones. And then drone hunter hunters. And drone hunter hunter hunters. And so on. The future will be wild.
Can somebody whip together an emp grenade to counteract these bastards?
A lot of this stuff is shielded. Their biggest weakness is command takeover, where some form of injection attack can give you the unit, especially when they’re AI-based. I’m sure there’s plenty of research on this and the money won’t be considered necessary to plug the holes making impossible.
I guess poison injecting spiders, and bullets that chase you are next. I want to go back to when this was just sci-fi.
Do they also shoot tracker tacks?
Please, give them a mouth with toxin injecting teeth, and I’ll get my flamethrower and play Guy Montag.
Would anti drone guns work on these?
Get them in operation now!
You’re cheering for the wrong team.
Do we know that they are not AI?
How, indeed.
