This is actually pretty realistic. Bonus points for Stewart Russell.

Spray a mist of quick hardening(or viscous) glue to gum up the props. Also put some black dye in it to take out the cameras. There actually used to be a way to disable the abrams tank by detonating a bomb that sprayed graphite powder everywhere preventing the tank operator from seeing. Perhaps something similar can be done here?

While one might opt for an EMP, that may not be very effective given how small they are and all the collateral damage that would cause. Lasers are also an expensive option.

Same tech we'd use to stop missiles, presumably, but miniaturized to minimize collateral damage.

>>9297377
Some sort of chaff was the first thing I thought of too because my experience with drones usually has focused on their buzzing and how it freaks me out a little.

EMP or a big ol' magnet might actually be the way to go though. There could be tech to focus magnets on specific targets that the military could develop. I don't know though because I don't know how they work...

Lasers are also a good option since they're the obvious tech being researched to intercept missiles. However, there would be too much collateral damage in a civilian setting, I would assume, more so than EMP/magnets. I much rather have my smartphone fried than be zapped by a magnets.


But really, if these drones are primarily going to be used to explode leftists, is developing countermeasures really that necessary? These are the real questions we need to be asking ourselves.

>>9297806
>than have my body be zapped by lasers

Perhaps the laser doesn't need to be all that powerful though. Maybe some sort of high intensity flashlight could be used to fry the visual system on those things or cause them to detonate prematurely somehow.

These are all questions for the engineers though.

>>9297364

>>9297823
Reading the article now though, it seems as if it can accurately disable separate targets, so you wouldn’t even need to have your defense drone kamikaze. It could be some sort of automated turret, perhaps attached to a drone.

EMPs aren't a very good option, because of how small they are. Anyone who has actually taken an undergrad electromagnetism course knows how to calculate the induced current in one of these. Guiding the laser defense is also a challenge. How are you going to aim? Radar can't detect them, you'd need some very good computer vision and cameras. Lasers also take a lot of power to fire once (we have yet to deploy them in a military scenario), firing in multiple targets like this is science fiction. Point defense is actually nuts, hahaha. And these drones could be made tomorrow if anyone willed, unlike any of the possible defenses for it. It's literally an indefensible weapon.

>>9297857
>Radar can't detect them
?

>>9297857
What does them being small have to do with anything? Surely an EMP would have an effect on anything electronic.

If you read the article I posted, it sounds as if the targets were relatively small there as well. You can target the entire swarm, not necessarily individual ones. An EMP blast could fill up an entire room. Boom, they’re all done all at once.

big sparks

>>9297881
>What does them being small have to do with anything?
Not him but conductors act as antennas for the induced current so the longer(bigger) a conductor is, the stronger effect EMP has on it. You'd need a very strong pulse to knock out a 3-4cm quadcopter, if it's even possible.

>>9297898
Do we know what sort of conductors the computers supporting the AI have to have? Because we aren’t talking about your typical manual drone here.

Also, here’s Boeing shooting individual drones out of the sky with a laser. These things aren’t exactly speed demons:

>>9297926
I’m asking why is it that you think an EMP wouldn’t affect conductors on computers of the drone?

All you need is to have another drone carrying an EMP device to get close to the attack swarm. Do we know how powerful and compact EMP technology is?

Heck, you could have a stationary EMP device in sensitive target areas. If a swarm comes into a room they shouldn’t be in, the EMP could fill the room.

If EMPs can knock out electrical circuits in buildings, you’re telling me they couldn’t knock these things out in a room?

>>9297939
>I’m asking why is it that you think an EMP wouldn’t affect conductors on computers of the drone?
Because they are too small for a big enough current to be induced
>All you need is to have another drone carrying an EMP device to get close to the attack swarm
How do you plan to produce a big enough EMP with a ~5-10g (as much as a small-ish quad can carry)
>compact EMP technology
No such thing
>circuits in buildings
They are long.
>couldn’t knock these things out in a room
Because they are short. The longer(bigger) the conductor is, the more vulnerable it is to an EMP. Being small is good in this case.

Obviously, homemade microwave magnetron guns have been around for some time. But you actually have to physically aim it, which will be tricky if a swarm of nimble drones is trying to kill you at incredibly hihg speed

This will never come to fruition, ever, unless you're talking about killing homogeneous groups of individuals.

>>9298149
Why?

>>9298171
You can't use cell surface proteins for target recognition, because there isn't enough variability. You'd have to use DNA as the target recognition, but the variation in genes across humanity is limited and you can't create something that detects the individual's entire genome anyway, so you'd have to target a subset of genes in reasonable proximity to each other in the genome. Doing this automatically makes the pathogen much less specific.

Of course, you could target individuals with extremely rare genome-wide (by genome-wide I mean not localized to a subset of cells, but to all the cells in their body) mutations, and settle for killing them and the two other people in the world that have this mutation, but that makes the pathogen really impractical.

>>9297364
what is this piece of crap video?

>>9298196
>You'd have to use DNA as the target recognition
Yes. I wasn't saying that they'd only infect the target, but that they'd only be lethal for the target and cause at most a mild cold for everyone else. The idea is to have it spread throughout the population without causing much distress so that it eventually hits the target.

>>9298034
>You should also book 6 rounds of chemo for the tumors after using it.
lmao what a retard
your lightbulb or even monitor outputs 10,000 times more powerful EM radiation than megatron
it has nothing to do with cancer/tumors, it just heats you

>>9298208
The point that I made in my post was that if you use DNA for target recognition, you can't make an individual-specific pathogen, you'd have to kill off entire populations or forget about the idea.

>>9298214
Alright but clearly you can identity someone uniquely based on their DNA. I mean where are you getting
>you can't create something that detects the individual's entire genome

There's no chemical or biological agent you could produce that would be able to find a target's DNA, read the whole thing, make sure it read the whole thing without skipping or duplicating any part, compare it with the entire DNA of the desired individual, and then only activate a response if they're absolutely the same.

It's infeasible based simply on the mechanical properties of the molecules involved.

Put several layers of a fine mesh over all entrances to a building.

Wear body armor that places a stiff bubble all around you so that the detonation isn't right next to your head.

Also I have a small bone to pick with the intent behind the OP video. Yes, these weapons will get into the wrong hands. So can explosives. If someone's going to be using a weapon, I honestly WOULD rather it be a precise, small weapon rather than something that takes half the block with it and leaves you with years of rebuilding and immense collateral damage in toxic dust clouds and physical damage.

>>9297364
Reactive armor

>>9298249
Somewhere. Someday. Someone will take what you said in the negative as a personal challenge.

Gat-Gate

>>9298249
Provided that this is true, surely there must be SOME way of identifying someone with high probability (say 1 in 1,000,000, so that there's only 1 collateral casualty per million infected)?

>>9298223
>Alright but clearly you can identity someone uniquely based on their DNA.

Not really, but you can identify them with very high probability. However, this is completely different from creating a target-specific pathogen. In the lab you cut the DNA into a large number of small pieces, and use incredible amounts of molecules to finally sequence the various DNA-chains.

You could use e.g. variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) as the DNA target, but even if only 0.001 % of the human population express a specific sequence, you'll still be killing approximately 78000 people assuming everybody gets infected and 100 % mortality.

The problem with using a pathogen to recognize the whole genome is that the pathogen would have to be extremely large (how would you get it into the cell? How would it get into the nucleus?), it would have to synthesize promoter proteins, disable repressor proteins, and circumvent various defense mechanisms. If you can manage to do this, you are literally god.

>>9298265
In the lab? Yes. By a pathogen spread by infection? No way.

Bird-shot from a sawn off shotgun i reckon.

Remember the longer the barrel the tighter the grouping so let em get a little closer and you should get a decent spray.

Hows the explosive triggered though? That could be a problem.

Also you could fuck with different loads to figure out whats most effective although that would entail running some kind of drill.

AI-controlled turret lasers. You can make one for mosquitoes from off the shelf parts right now. Making one for something larger just requires more power and a larger laser unit or several smaller ones that all point to the same spot. A laser system could be used safely indoors. A maser system or HERF system could be used outside. All systems can be protected against to a certain extent. It just depends on how high power they are.

I'm pretty sure a 1000 watt "megatron", as you so eloquently put it, a device literally designed to emit as much EM radiation as possible, puts out more EM than a 100 watt light bulb designed to emit light. The cancer scare is still retarded though.

>>9298270

>>9298517
Naw, HERF guns don't work very well unless maybe they are super high power. The inverse-square law really fucks them over. Theres' a very good chance they'd have no effect on them even then. There are plenty of electronics the DIY ones don't harm or impair even at close ranges. The reason stuff inside a microwave oven arcs and goes to hell is mainly because the microwaves are being reflected and build up. Out in the open that doesn't happen and the microwaves just bounce off metal objects.

They're easier to use than explosives, because it's much harder to make homemade explosives and get them into a high security event than it is to launch hundreds of tiny near-unshootable killer drones.

>But really, if these drones are primarily going to be used to explode leftists
and when le Antifa boogeyman gets their hands on it?

The retardation in this thread is off the meter. EMP, shotguns, nets, lasers...Jesus, how thick can you be?

Nothing stops these little fuckers in the long run.

The only practical solution is for all of us to down load our minds into a computer and have robotic avatars carrying out our lives for us. Then hope we have got some very good virus protection.

But, that's what we've been doing this entire time.

NOBODY HAS MENTIONED FUCKING LIQUID GLUE REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>9299294
literally the first post.

>>9299271
This. People talking about magnetron guns and shit, seriously? How do they expect to be able to nail every drone out of fucking hundreds swarming a room and if you miss even one you are fucked.

This is genuinely scary shit, made even more scary by the fact it can be made with off the shelf components and some programming knowledge.

>>9299271
>tfw you realize the matrix is a documentary
The machines knew it was impossible to go back, so they created a reality for us before the naonbots were unleashed

i really like the video.
but it's really unlikely this would come about.

Mini drones don't maneuver that well and a tennis racket would be a decent defense.
Batteries don't store that much power, so onboard processing would be pretty limited.
And the explosives part probably isn't based on science, if they miss even slightly its just like a firecracker going off near you.

facial recognition is a GPU intensive task so those would have to be some expensive chips.

If we ever got drones like this I think poison darts would be the scariest attack.

shaped charges can go through tank armor.

not to mention they can go for your heart if they want.

>>9299389
Yeah a smaller scale swarm composed of larger drones mounted with a few dozen microdarts would be way scarier.

In regards to the facial recognition, remember that for this to be effective they don't really need it. They could be preloaded with target data like height, clothes and skin colour. Or alternatively if some extremist gets a bunch of them you think they give a fuck about target recognition? The will just load target areas and have them kill indiscriminately.

>>9299260
falcons are the best option for small drones.
big drones don't have small enough weapons to take them out. until we get lasers that is.
small drones cost about $100, birds are expensive but pretty safe and easy for them to cover a large area against many drones and deny the enemy any situational awareness.

are you retarded?

>>9297364
Linen fiber or something like this. Find a way to distribute them in the air, so they quickly build a cloud of at least 15m in diameter.

You could of course do this with any fiber, but you should make sure that it's cheap, available in huge amounts and, most importantly, not harmful to humans and putrescible so you don't have to clean up the mess. The fiber should also be strong enough to not be cut by the drone blades too easily. And the weight and surface area should be in a way that they can float in the air for long.

Not sure if linen fiber fulfills all of this. Kevlar would be strong but won't rot. Best would probably the fiber of spider webs, as they are strong and rot, but they are very expensive.

I would experiment with plant fibers like linen fiber, hemp fiber, cotton, etc. first, because they are so cheap and not harmful for health and environment

>>9298831
Please explain why the skin effect will prevent an arc from fucking with a drone's CPU.

>>9298834
Disabling every drone within a few metres would work pretty well when the drones can only kill on contact.

>>9297364
How about a spraying them with microfibers coated in some kind of glue? Surely it would fuck with the rotors, and cover some of their cameras. Maybe just spray paint at them to cover the cameras if you're on a low budget. Or some nasty chemical.

How would /sci/ put a stop to these things?

>firecracker glued on the drone detonating the moment the chicken comes in contact

just give everyone self-defense drones, if drones are so fucking magical everyone would be using them anyway

>>9299271
>Nothing stops these little fuckers in the long run.

Real drones don't work anywhere near as well as this alarmist fantasy piece.

>>9299124
>It is a joke you autist. You can't be protected all the time and all that needs to be done is to use a larger explosive and larger drone.

Not only do these drones have magic AI, they have magic batteries as well.

>>9298908

You don't need enough power to destroy it, just enough to prevent it from completing its mission.

>>9297364
its sensors are a big weakness.

in the video they use camera style sensors, so having a flashbang, or even just a super bright light would be enough to completely blind them.

these bots are fucking retarded, you could probably hide in a cardboard box metal gear style.
if vid kiddo had thought faster and wasn't a faggot sjw but instead educated himself on the way AIs work, he would have just pulled his fleece up, covering his face, over his head with his hands, and held it there. that's probably enough to produce erroneous behavior.

some guys at MIT recently showed that you can really fuck with feature extraction methods that rely on convolution (they made a turtle look like a gun, etc.). You could probably develop some patterned cloak that you just throw over yourself to completely flummox the thing.

Of course the holy grail would be an invisibility cloak

Which really isn't that far off most likely.

>>9297364
Purpose-designed security measures like airlock-type gates.

Heck, tanks can defend themselves against missiles. Drones are far easier to detect and intercept. Don't even need visual recognition. You can identify and target via sound.

And shotgun shells are like, really fucking cheap.

>>9298634
Are these people unironically campaigning to control development of AI or weaponized drones?

Old people see the world changing and think it's ending. The existence of cheap, accurate and powerful rifles hasn't brought the world crashing down. We cope and deal as we always have.

I do some work in quadrotor control, just a thought on this, drones of that size can't do what those are doing with their onboard processors. Not to say that swarms can't do complicated things, but they need to be in contact with a computer with a beefy processor, which means that they can't go very far on their own, unless you had sort of a mothership

>>9298259

Not modern composite armor, they're absolute shit against that. Also 4 grams of explosive is firework tier.

It's honestly hilarious how much I hear people express this opinion as though the human mind is the same thing as a computer

>>9297364
I once saw a TED talk or something about them using bluray lasers and a PS3 (high fps) camera to kill mosquitos while they were flying around

I think something similar can be done. track and zap using high powered lasers.

problem solved.

Graphite powder sounds like a more effective weapon than these bots

>>9297364
2 things:
Hide under a cardboard box until they go away. Super-batteries or not, they're eventually going to die before you die of thirst. Even if they know a human's under a box and target it, there's a very small chance of them hitting you in a vital spot. Besides, if you hear them coming and get under a box before they arrive all you would have to do is spread 10-20 boxes around. There wouldn't be enough bots to Swiss-cheese every possible hiding spot.

Also, why would any terrorist group or country use these? They're far more expensive than poisonous gas and are easier to guard against.

Not how bullets work, the thing doesnt weigh anything, and I doubt it's carrying around a barrel with it.
