- TechDebtDevin 1y agoIf this is military related, im terrified of the future. Sci-fi movies with crazy drones from back when are no longer that cute.
- jiggawatts 1y agoThe truly scary part is that it’s a straightforward evolution from this to 1000 fps hyperspectral sensors. There will be no hiding from these things and no possibility of evasion. They’ll have agility exceeding champion drone pilots and be too small to even see or hear until it’s far too late. Life in the Donbass trenches is already hell. We’ll find a way to make it worse.
- MoonGhost 1y agoThen it should be possible to use them to counter and defend. Think of AI powered interceptor drones patrolling the area, anti-drone light machine guns.
- collingreen 1y agoAs long as you keep paying your gemini anti-drone bill and don't set account limits you'll be fine! </s>
- AndrewKemendo 1y agoYou’re right to be terrified
- echelon 1y ago7 years ago, this felt like science fiction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HipTO_7mUOw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HipTO_7mUOw Now that we've seen the use of drones in the Ukraine war, 10k+ drone light shows, Waymo's autonomous cars, and tons of AI advancements in signals processing and planning, this seems obvious.
- yard2010 1y agoThis is important. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
- Flemlo 1y agoWe have nuclear weapons. We already achieved complete destruction potential. Drones don't change much. It's potentially better for us civilians if drones get used to attack a lot more targeted (think Putin). This should lead to narrow policies which might be less aggressive
- MoonGhost 1y ago> potentially better for us civilians if drones get used to attack a lot more targeted (think Putin Putin is well protected, way better than US presidents and candidates. With lower prices and barriers it can actually be you, or any low profile target. Luckily real terrorist are mostly uneducated.
- bevenky 1y agoIs this OSS?

- fc417fc802 1y agoUnclear exactly what you're asking. The linked paper describes an algorithm (patent status unclear). That paper happens to link to a GPL licensed implementation whose authors explicitly solicit business licensing inquiries. The related model weights are available on Hugging Face (license unclear). Notably the HF readme file contains conflicting claims. The metadata block specifies apache while the body specifies GPL. https://github.com/AILab-CVC/YOLO-World https://github.com/AILab-CVC/YOLO-World https://huggingface.co/spaces/stevengrove/YOLO-World/tree/main https://huggingface.co/spaces/stevengrove/YOLO-World/tree/ma...
- sigmoid10 1y agoThe paper says it is based on YOLOv8, which uses the even stricter AGPL-3.0. That means you can use it commercially, but all derived code (even in a cloud service) must be made open source as well.
- fc417fc802 1y agoI assume they refer to the academic basis for the algorithm rather than the implementation itself. Slightly unrelated, how does AGPL work when applied to model weights? It seems plausible that a service could be structured to have pluggable models on the backend. Would that be sufficient to avoid triggering it?
- kouteiheika 1y agoThey probably mean the algorithm, but nevertheless the YOLO models are relatively simple so if you know what you're doing it's pretty easy to reimplement them from scratch and avoid the AGPL license for code. I did so once for the YOLOv11 model myself, so I assume any researcher worth their salt would also be able to do so too if they wanted to commercialize a similar architecture.
