Ted, drone swarms and drone defense are again in the news today. I just went back and looked at that film clip you posted and it is terrifying.
My wife and son are using AI extensively in their researches. Son just said he had a three hour conversation with AI on an academic paper he was writing - not just writing style or grammar but a deep exchange on intellectual ideas and topics, literary references and philosophical musings and when he finished and went down for a drink in his local bar in NYC, he found the human conversation incredibly boring and lame.
We are in a brave new world. and that film clip has stuck in my mind - as someone who has been in conflicts and saw and hallucinated on a video clip of a drone chasing a North Koran soldier around a tree. It is so real you can almost taste a future disaster coming, perhaps within the next five years. And I don't need a drone load - #4 shot should do it unless as in the film the drone is so adroit that it can dodge.
Heaven help us if the sporting clays site decides to substitute clays for small drones and equip them with counter measures and offensive riposte capabilities. Better wear body armor to the range.
