Drones: Flight in 3d open space is not a hard problem for machine learning.
Indiscriminate Visual Targeting: Not all that hard a problem for machine learning.
Downvote me if you will, but I freely admit that I am scared of drones with guns. Either as an invading force, or as an attack from terrorists. A machine doesn't have to be smart to shoot at anything that moves or has a heat signature.
Edit: Drones with chainsaws however are just plain badass (and potentially useful for tree trimming).

- colorint 9y agoIndiscriminate visual targeting is a potentially hard problem if you're doing it against adversaries. One of the things that's underappreciated about machine learning is, since it's statistical, it can only be about anomaly detection, so the solution is to not be anomalous. You could conceivably hide from thermal imaging by using ice packs, and anyway, you only have to get to within the range of indifferentiability from the ordinary noisiness of the environment. Optical techniques suffer from similar problems, except that it's even easier to hide. Not to mention the occasinal voodoo that comes out about metamaterials.
- SubiculumCode 9y agoI agree, against prepared adversaries. I am more worried about it being used against civilians.
