      How hard would it be to program around a dozen drones or so to execute a coordinated kamikaze attack?

      It's for a book, I swear

          I'm only anti-AI in the sense that under our current system, it's only being used as a means to deprive us of our means to make a living

          I want cool shit like robot buddies and holodeck simulator games, but not if it's destroying the environment and ruining people's lives

            Anything under capitalism is gonna do that anyway. 🤷 Did you think using Google as a spellchecker all these years was green? Lol.

          I don't think you want generative "AI" to program a coordinated kamikaze drone attack.

        ironically or unironically?

        unironically don't commit acts of terrorism.

        ironically though, arduflight can do flight planning, and could probably trigger.. other hardware at the right time if you need to. diy drones are probably less traceable too.

        you can have an entire arc in your book about the democratization of making people afraid of beautiful clear days, it would be sick.

          ... ok but being a terrorist ironically just as a concept sounds kinda cringe.

          Tho theoretically one could prob incorporate, purely for purposes of irony, billionaires own tools into the drones to customise them, keep things fun (after all, the point of terrorism is to inflict terror damage on the opponent so keeping class solidity would make sense).
          Like some drones could be controlled by their own AIs, some drones would be coal powered instead of battery, some such diy drones could use a military drone as their main payload, etc.

            i remember seeing years ago, an israeli (or was it us?) company demonstrating a tiny ai drone that could quickly fly up to peoples faces and blow their brains up with a small explosive.

            from that to blowing up someone's asshole, i don't think it's too much of a wild stretch (heh).

        We can abstract it to the idea of a video game. Imagine a video game with a dozen enemies all attacking the player with none overlapping. Easy peasy.

      Fun fact, those guard jobs are often just regular jobs on indeed and anyone could apply and lie about their qualifications

      Then your target just hands you a gun and thinks you're gonna protect them

      That's just the start, once this happens once it will create a ripple effect of fear washing over the ruling class, they won't trust their real bodyguards anymore and will inevitably treat them poorly due to this new paranoia, this of course leads to some of those bodyguards getting some thoughts of their own and it could all just keep going from there

        They are 100% checking the palantir profile of each person. They’re only hiring the sort of chud that worships the rich.

      I'm almost convinced Hideo Kojima was using MGS to try to teach stealth and combat skills to the gamers while making sure the West wasn't the hero of the story kojima

          I was very impressed in MGS2 on the hardest difficulties if you were in a box that wasn't in the area it should be the guards would try to move it, and if you had an alert they would search every spot methodically so they would still check your box unless you were like hidden beside other similar boxes. On some behind the scenes of the development they showed the dev team and Kojima going through a close quarters combat training class and learning how to properly clear rooms as a team.

          But they later added an oil drum you can hide in and then roll at enemies in to take them down, that's bulletproof and unstoppable in real battle.

    I like those Ukrainian drones that drop a stream of napalm/thermite, allowing them to zip across a forest or anti-drone net and torch the whole thing in 30 seconds.

    Ok, but there better not be an unskippable cutscene before the boss, I hate those, there is plenty of environmental lore to get what's happening.

      Yeah Kotaku and RPS comment sections tend to be pretty based. The one thing I see them both lib out on is Ukraine in both their coverage and comments. Which is funny because they cover Palestine way more and you would think that the two would be obviously fundamentally different given the content and frequency of the coverage of each but they often allude to them being similar. But what can you expect from what is just a progressive gaming news site. Occasionally you actually surprisingly well thought out Marxist analysis like in this thread.
