Dude, this is what could happen easily within 10 years. What is your point? That the video doesn't show the reality of 2021? How about you sign up for the "escape the AI slaughterbots challenge" in 2030. Win $10,000 if you survive the 1,000 Slaughterbots trying to kill you.

It’s naive to assume military research labs don’t have this in an advanced state of development right now, or even combat-ready weapons that just haven’t been used yet. I mean, it’s obviously possible. That means militaries have at the very least developed it to a proof of concept by now. This kind of tech often exists for many years before becoming publically known.

  Yes probably the US and Russia and China militaries have some advanced quadcopters. Do you think even to build one of them costed less 10 USD? You have to count in all the research and development put in.

Depending on the capabilities of the drones that could be absurdly trivial. GPS jamming scales to an infinite number of drones. For medium capability drones your budget is already in the millions so it is only fair to use a medium capability air defense system: https://youtu.be/1DXpPmpmcak https://youtu.be/1DXpPmpmcak Edit: Before you say that I don't get to defend myself according to the threat level then a single person beating me to death would be enough to kill me. Not very interesting.

>could happen easily within 10 years. It could but it's quite not sure it will. In 2001 we were supposed to be doing a space odyssey on Mars and beyond. And 5 years ago we were supposed already to have full autonomous vehicles. Just because something looks close in sci-fi made-up movies doesn't mean it will turn reality. It's about the tech. >How about you sign up for the "escape the AI slaughterbots challenge" You are making a very different scenario. You are suggesting in 2030 will be possible to kill one person in a setup environment with very high budget for 1000 drones. The scenario of the movie is to kill 2.5 million people with 2.5 million tiny drones with 25 million USD budget over a very large and not controlled environment like a city.
