     @kaia they should join military and become drone operators. Until we get neural networks for that in a few years (only held back by ethics not tech rn i think)

     @snacks what to do with all the gamers who don't do anything else and have no other interest? they don't even like IT in the first place, but since they sit on PC/console all day, their parents think that IT is a great career.
     
     it's ruining their whole life, just because modern society does not let men do anything anymore, develop their interests anymore.

     @snacks @kaia its no different in that way from other pro sports. You'd have a demographic that either gets extremely good or does menial labor. same as with football

     @scathach @kaia most drone strikes right now could prob be executed with a waypoint mission close to enemy positions and then a small neural network that just identifies and flies towards whatever looks like military equipment/humans with some internal priorisation i think

     @snacks @kaia Onboard ML for simple area denial missions (fly search pattern in geofence, kill anything the classifier marks as a person or vehicle) is already trivial, more complex and open ended drone missions could probably be automated but I don't see that happening at scale because of the much higher risk of killing civilians and friendlies

     @scathach @kaia yes, that seems to be what most suicide drones are doing. Just fly where you know/think there are enemies and strike them.
     Or am i mistaken?

     @snacks @kaia For the most part suicide drones are ghetto artillery, the best tool for delivering ordinance somewhere is artillery hooked up to a small observer drone to get more accurate coordinates

     @snacks @kaia @scathach they specifically have a number of non-GPS navigation modes, too. which is important cause a lot of GPS contains speed lockouts specifically so you don't use them on planes without paying the extra vigs.
     
     DJI i think also has some involvement with secret blacklist servers. jones was talking about it some years ago when people tried to take pictures of the southern US border--when there were migrants there none of the commercial drones would let you fly anywhere near it, you'd just get slapped with a denial screen.

     @snacks @kaia @m0xEE @vriska taleb talks about this ("extremistan") and how humans are notoriously unfair at allocation. when wages are tied to hours (most menial jobs) there's a relative flat average and high accessibility of reaching sufficience. when wages are decorrelated to hours (entertainment notoriously is) you get extremistan (extremely concentrated winner set who takes all)
