It wont be long now before the nanobots exist and the Borg can finally take over. Resistance is futile.
In the latest video about this by veritasium, he asked the researcher about ethics concern. the researcher insist that they dont care as humanity can decide for itself.
Meanwhile:
The new report also details the extent of MIT’s partnerships with Israeli military contractors like Elbit Systems, which supplies 85 percent of Israel’s killer drones, and Maersk, one of the world’s largest shipping companies, that has sent millions of pounds of military goods to Israel since the start of the war on Gaza. The Israeli military also sponsored several of the MIT projects with funds provided by the U.S. Defense Department.

MIT also (indirectly) killed Aaron Swartz.
That researcher is a real life Dr. Hoenikker. Vonnegut is probably shrugging in his grave

Because developing a replacement for bees is certainly a better solution then saving the bees…
We all know where this is gonna end…
There is no way these things could spread poison instead of pollen is there?
Surveillance drones everywhere.
Surveillance is the “nice” version of it.
Anal probes everywhere.
Exactly! Flying, they are flying everywheeeaaahhhh!

Yeah I was gonna say like why are we even workshopping the name with a winner like that. Get this employee a bonus check!
Neat a dildo and 4 rotating nipple toys
And it sucks, when you think inside Star Wars, such small drones are used only in medical or expensive surveillance and military applications.
But in real life it can really be a swarm of things worse than scarabs in The Mummy.

I’ve low-key started to think the only reason we haven’t seen autonomous hunter-killer drones yet is that nobody’s willing to break the seal, and I’m scared for what happens when somebody finally does.
Horizon Zero Dawn looking more eminent any day now.
My dear stranger, those already exist, and have been used in war to terminate key individuals.
We are living the dream.
key individuals
Such as Palestinian children
Point me towards systems that don’t have a human in the loop, particularly any that utilize fully-autonomous swarms, and I’ll agree. Scary as the former are, there’s a world of difference between a handful of FPV suicide drones, and a cloud of HL2-Manhack-esque things operating on face-recogniton-guided autopilot.
Oh, that’s what you mean… yeah, there are humans behind, but potato potato, swap one brain for another… anyway it is a killing machine that can get you anywhere in the planet.
I’d rather just have bees.
But how can techbros get rich from bees? Bees just make themselves for free then serve the greater good, the little buzzing communists.
Even birds are starting to seem acceptable
The new technology could increase crop yields dramatically without harming the environment.
That’s a surprisingly benign use case, I was expecting far worse.
Plot twist: The crop is human misery.
Well then fucking harvest me and get it over with
The public use case.
Humans are the crops.

Looks like they hovered for 1000 seconds. It was previously stress limited such that the joints would break after just a few seconds. I think they might still be tethered for a power source, I haven’t seen any of these micro flapping bots include a battery yet, and they didn’t mention that they did.
Bradbury called it in Farahenheit 451.
