 “No one is immune from such attacks," said Belyaiev. "In theory, a specialist with my level of expertise could plan and execute an operation to liquidate the first persons of any European state ... Pandora's box is open.”

“It is almost impossible to shoot it down," he said. "Only a net can help. And I predict that soon we will have to put up such nets above our cities, or at least government buildings, all over Europe.”

 Trust government, it works for your benefit. You only need to trust it. 😵🔫


 
 Using the word “kill” for an inanimate object bothers me 
 Nets. Over cities. This is where we are. Got it. 
 Or… hear me out… we could decentralize government.

If nobody is in charge, there is nobody to assasinate. 
 Scary more so when you realize it’s an AI controlled drone!!! 
 These asymmetric war economics are nothing new. It's why the Stinger missile was so popular in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Watch (or better yet, read) Charlie Wilson's War if you want to learn about it and be entertained. 
 This really is the future. Proxy groups are going nuts in the Middle East right now with drones against U.S. bases as well following this Israel situation 
 A net over our heads? What does that feel strangely convenient for the parasite class 
 On the topic of war, where is the uproar for the TINY BABIES being brutally murdered in Gaza as we speak. 

Please speak up @ODELL 
 Next, a $0.70 shotgun shell killing a $400 drone. 
 Time to practice up on skeet and trap 
 asymmetrical power 
 Get good with a drone, both to know how to defeat it, and to use one at a crucial moment. 
 Mandibles 
 "in theory" is the operative phrase here. You'd think both Putin and Zelenskyy would both have been off'ed already, if it was that easy?  
 I feel like a net is not going to be a long term solution. Humans are more creative than mosquitoes. 
 What exactly is a "net" in this scenario? 
 right now here in Kyiv air alert, because of Iranian drones. 
Last autumn I saw how Ukrainian solders were trying to shoot them with just usual small arms, like auto-rifles 
 Stuart Russel (remember that 90's AI book?) is involved with an advocacy group against killer drones (probably a failed task?).
their videos and papers speculate about near future applications. 
Much more cost effective than humanoid robots.

 a company that can create innovative and effective counter-measures is your next unicorn. 
 Bullish. 
 That's exactly right.
We had this discussion already about the safety of our energy supply.
Cause yes
Nearly everybody with some drone experience like mine can bring down the electrical grid.
That is why i dont get why the state is nerving the plebs.
Would like to see how they try to cover the grid with nets.
