Oddly, the example in the comic is an absolutely awful example of the phenomenon described in the caption. A robot that can induce targeted lightning strikes has obvious military applications. Screw search and rescue.
- ppsreejith 2y agoTo be pedantic, the comic doesn't mention _targeted_ lightning strikes.
- kolinko 2y agoOr perhaps it’s a meta comic about dual use :) A lot of the claimed s&r applications are really a thin cover for military gear. I remember trying to mentor a hardware startup on an event, and we just couldn’t find the common language with the girl that was pitching it. I just couldn’t see how the cases would justify the market. Only later on I figured out that the cases were absurd, and all of them really a cover for military applications. Finding survivors in a forest = finding partisans, is the most common one.
