    Before they made the knife missile, I expected someone to mount the robotic sniper array on a Predator.

    But robot murder dogs are just another drone if they’re controlled by an operatons team.

    We cross the crazy sci-fi line when they’re able to autonomously select and attack targets based on an algo.

      I mean… that is another I Did A Thing video (the knife missile is Backyard/Backdoor Scientist). Well, I Did A Thing, Michael Reeves, random ass kids, etc.

      Gun+Computer Vision = Autonomous Sentry Turret. Reeves and Aleks made things “harder” by trying to specifically identify faces. But it doesn’t take much to realize that shooting at anything identified as a human approaching on an active battlefield is a LOT easier. And will likely be necessary as more and more “C4 duct taped to a drone” attacks are used against airfields and the like.
