Robot dogs armed with AI-targeting rifles undergo US Marines Special Ops evaluation

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.

Hey, fuck this noise.

Welp, here comes skynet

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

So we made Metalhead from Black Mirror? Cool....cool cool cool...so uhh... how do I wake up from this nightmare again?

Can somebody whip together an emp grenade to counteract these bastards?

Get them in operation now!

I guess poison injecting spiders, and bullets that chase you are next. I want to go back to when this was just sci-fi.

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?
