Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

I have been wondering for years why drone bombings aren't more common with terrorism groups now. They even have off-the-shelf drones that can fly entirely through vertical flow sensors and AI image recognition.
I think it's mostly training and payload availability.
I don't see why they would spend extra on a fancy "ai" drone when they could use a pilot and place him far away. Spend the savings on more drones, payloads, non-standard frequency hardware.
There's a tiny part of me that wishes they'd start wrecking shit it as a wake-up call to the country, but (in a perfect world) without casualties.
The AI/image recognition is more for when the drone gets jammed that it can still find it's target.
lol as if the US has many non-standard fpv jammers, especially somewhere terrorists would strike
I'm not sure why you put AI in scare quotes — image recognition is a form of AI, and one that predates any LLM or generative technology. OCR A was invented in 1966.
Because it's an overused term that I'm tired of seeing everywhere. Machine learning, image recognition are both nicer and more specific.
edit: my problem is that whenever someone says "AI", without much other context, you have no idea if you're talking to someone who actually knows a thing or two or the biggest moronic llm investor on the planet. Being more specific shows that you're not the latter.
This also grinds my gears. Calling everything related to machine learning or LLMs "AI" is fully part of the grift. It's important to make the distinction.
I've been expecting the first self-driving car bomb for a few years now. Could even be a remote controlled car bomb. The tech is there and these cars aren't impossible to steal.
Also for political assassinations. Sniping is so oldfashioned, when you can hit your targets while being nowhere near the area where it happens.
nah, In the states it's more common and accepted to just shootup your local school.
Makes sense, guns got greater availability and much lower barrier for entry
