I'm dreaming of a remote game where players fly a fleet of drones to go hunt for pythons in the everglades.
- spydum 7y agoThis is close to reality for wild boars, but due to how sneaky pythons are - prob not really practical.
- jxramos 7y agoSource please. I know there's a ton of late night hunts with infrared scopes where people snipe boars, but that's in person. Plenty of such content on YouTube. Is there a remote version of the hunt going on someplace?
- hownottowrite 7y agoJust search for boar drone hunt and you’ll see plenty of examples.
- keenmaster 7y agoAn infrared camera drone with AI should be able to identify giant pythons and other invasive species. Someone make it.
- jmpman 7y agoHow do infrared cameras do with cold blooded animals?
- jxramos 7y agoI was wondering that myself. Looks like they can resolve... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wYxiffT7izY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wYxiffT7izY

- marcosdumay 7y agoCold blooded doesn't mean that they are in environment temperature. The larger the animal, the hotter it tends to be, and the better infrared cameras do.
- keenmaster 7y agoThe same drone can also capture or kill snakes. Poisoned mice have already been used to kill invasive snake species, so the drone can drop those. On-board weaponry would be more efficient, but I’d get chills systematically erasing anything using a swarm of killer drones.... The risk of off-target killing should also be considered. A semi-autonomous solution would have the drone beam footage of the snake and await a kill order from Florida man. Yikes.
