May we not see the day with 69M autonomous drones, recharging off utility lines or solar, and hunting humans relentlessly with shitty visual recognition algorithms.
Edit: 69 was a typo, but I'll keep it.
- ineedasername 5y agoI think 60M is the lower end of the estimate, which at the high end is around 75M, so I suppose 69 isn't a bad middle ground. And yeah, as I wrote my comment I also envisioned self-recharging drones as a logical next step. If you're going fully autonomous, why keep any requirement to come back to base? The one in this story was kamikaze, but if you needed something with more of a punch that became expensive enough to require reusability, then you could have it come home, or just station autonomous ammunition stations at strategic locations.
