Scientists Create AI-Powered Laser Turret That Kills Cockroaches
- yummypaint 4y agoAssuming this works exactly as designed, isn't it going to atomize roach guts into the air? I can appreciate that it's a fun project from an engineering perspective, but compared with simple traps and preventative cleaning...
- rolph 4y agoyeah it would smell delicious/s you know how garbage smell is in a hot garage? i can just smell hot cockroach scent now.
- egberts1 4y agoWell, it is a start but will cockroaches maintain the tenacity of its “survival of the fittest”? Will cockroaches gain a tiny shred of intelligence to avoid these laser traps by the sheer alerting virtue of these atomatized molecules bursting through the air by its exploding brethren? Will they go faster? Bigger? Hungrier? Breed more? Can we chalk this up as a potential gain-of-function science? Or just stick around and find out, like a bad scientist?

- djohnston 4y agoI'm guessing we can apply the same principle to humans with a more powerful laser right? Open source weaponry is the only chance we have to stave off neo feudalism. Happy to see the repo :)
