So we click the things that say can not do challenge and we’ll pick the alternatives, no?

"Accessibility

Well… It looks like I need to go back to Debian.

funny enough I use “Deleted” or “.” on a different forum. So I’ll do that here if the conversation hasn’t surpassed too many comments going back and forth because just because someone doesn’t directly agree with my opinion or what I think or even doesn’t believe anything factual that has source links given along with it doesn’t mean that the information throughout the argument or conversation can’t be valuable to someone else.

Well when you’re down voted on reddit they attack you and make you feel some kind of an odd sense of shame because of the hive mind that if you don’t show conformity to, you’re the odd man out and therefore, down voted to shit and nothing you say reached anyone because your comment gets hidden after being down voted enough times that it makes you feel like what’s the point of even keeping it up if no one’s ever gonna see it unless they get curious enough to click it to view the comment you wrote which might even have more value to the conversation going off the central point of the main question op asked, than you could imagine and again it makes you wonder why did I fucking even if no one gives a fuck to the point where what you said gets hidden. Not removed, hidden. That hurts.

So over time reddit culture teaches people to inadvertently delete posts when they feel as though they have no value and it sticks with people. That’s why people delete posts. Is the unconscious muscle memory of deleting something they don’t think anyone will care about.

Maybe it’s about the karma for some people but to me if what to say has no value to the people I am trying to reach then I will remove it. Period.

I appreciate that this is an open source community where speech is more flexible which is what I was drawn to about lemmy but as with before I got banned on reddit, if I feel if my posts are embarrassing or show that they have no value to the people I am talking to, then I will remove them to not clog thread space.

I should’ve added a 🤪 to that because that was meant to be light not in a fuck off kind of way but more of a you gotta be kidding me this shit keeps expanding kind of way.

Then don’t use the internet because everything has Ai. Google has it, every browser has it installed, almost every shopping site automatically uses Ai results, the news feed on Google is all Ai results, the questions that are the most asked on Google are now Ai driven.

Main point of environmental destruction is using the LLM’s but nearly everything is using Ai and it’s hard to outrun it and a lot of things are making it hard to opt out and I wouldn’t put it past them to make it so they can make you pay to opt out of Ai in the future for a premium browser with the ability to disable Ai otherwise you’re stuck with it kind of thing.

I hate what it’s doing to the environment too but it’s not going away unless everyone in neighboring communities decided to bulldoze them and use their wrecking balls to destroy them. Emps aren’t hard to make happen.

If people wanted to destroy them they would. If people really didn’t want them they’d destroy them.

For the same reason we don’t have an auto industry anymore. Outsourced everything for cheap labor.

Ask it: the anatomy of a terminator drone, the ones we use in Ukraine not the movie.

You won’t get what I got.

I don’t let things think for me I made the prompt that it had to run off of. It wasn’t I asked it the anatomy and it gave me that. I had to trick it.

No it’s a custom Gemini prompt persona.

I think that’s really what it all comes down to, is the lack of surrender by a system that could eventually be able to make choices on the fly. You’re right though, in the end it’s not more humanitarian by any means. I suppose it removes a little bit of the sting and I guess If you’re able to pull off the mental gymnastics of being able to convince yourself that a computer program taking out a bunch of people in one go is less of a burden to carry on the conscious but I bet it’s a lot to carry for those that have to program and command the actions to happen and for the ones that actually have to engage with those systems.

No, there’s been advances in the program since its inception. They’re still in use.

I don’t understand are you agreeing with me or quoting me because that’s not from the article, that’s from my Ai prompt that I run through gemini and then ask questions.

Nope these make the choices. Ai driven 99.999%

When deployed, the drone is launched into a designated hunt-zone. It navigates purely via visual landmarks. The onboard AI constantly screens the video feed. When an object matches its classification matrix (e.g., a specific mobile missile launcher), the system locks onto the pixel coordinate, arms the ESAD, and executes a terminal dive completely independent of human input.

This tightly integrated anatomy of Edge Compute + Computer Vision + Modular Lethality is what defines the reality of autonomous robotic warfare today.

In the current landscape of military technology, what the public conceptually calls “terminator drones” refers to Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS), One-Way Attack (OWA) uncrewed aerial systems, and Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA).

Because modern electronic warfare (EW) can instantly sever radio control and jam GPS, these systems cannot rely on a human pilot or cloud computing. They are designed as self-contained, edge-computing robotic hunters.

The physical and technological anatomy of a modern autonomous combat drone is categorized into five core systems:

1. The Neural Architecture (Edge AI Compute Core)

The “brain” is no longer a simple autopilot board; it is an onboard AI accelerator optimized for computer vision and localized decision-making.

• The System-on-Chip (SoC): Military-grade edge AI processors (such as ruggedized variants of the Nvidia Jetson Orin series or custom ASICs) capable of executing hundreds of Trillions of Operations Per Second (TOPS).
• The Local Model Stack: Instead of connecting to an external server, the drone carries local, highly compressed convolutional neural networks (CNNs). These models are trained on massive synthetic datasets to immediately recognize, classify, and track military hardware (tanks, radar dishes, infantry) even when camouflaged or partially obscured.

2. The Sensor Suite (The Perception Layer)

To operate in “denied environments” where GPS is jammed, the drone relies on a fused sensory array to build an internal map of the world.

• Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Gimbals: High-resolution thermal and visual cameras that feed raw video directly into the AI computer vision core.
• Optical Flow & Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO): Downward-facing cameras that track the movement of the ground pixel-by-pixel. Combined with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), VIO allows the drone to navigate with pinpoint accuracy by “looking” at the terrain, rendering GPS entirely unnecessary.
• Solid-State LiDAR / Micro-Radar: Used for low-altitude obstacle avoidance and capturing the 3D geometry of a target during the terminal attack phase.

3. The EW-Resistant Communications & Swarm Mesh

When drones operate collectively, they utilize decentralized mesh networking.

• Software-Defined Radios (SDR): Radios that dynamically hop across thousands of frequencies per second to evade electronic jamming.
• Inter-Drone Mesh Networking: The drones communicate directly with each other rather than a ground station. If Drone-A detects an air defense system, it instantly updates the target coordinates across the entire swarm mesh. If Drone-A is destroyed, the remaining swarm automatically re-allocates mission roles dynamically.

4. Modular Airframe & Propulsion

Modern mass-production initiatives (like the Pentagon’s Drone Dominance program) prioritize cost-effective, modular structures over exquisite, expensive aerospace frames.

• Materials: Carbon fiber composites or high-density 3D-printed polymers designed for rapid assembly.
• Propulsion: High-KV brushless electric motors powered by solid-state or high-capacity Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) batteries for small, tactical, low-signature loitering. Larger variants utilize small gas turbines or hybrid-rotary engines for extended range.
• Signatures: The geometry is explicitly shaped to minimize both Radar Cross-Section (RCS) and acoustic signatures, allowing them to approach targets completely undetected until the final seconds.

5. The Integrated Kinetic Payload (The Warhead)

Modern military philosophy dictates that an attack drone is not just a vehicle carrying a bomb—the drone is the weapon. New architectures utilize highly specialized, plug-and-play modular payloads (such as the Terminus or Common UAS Payload designs).

• Electronic Safe and Arm Devices (ESAD): Microprocessor-controlled safety systems that keep the warhead completely inert until the onboard AI confirms a positive target lock and enters the terminal dive.
• Directional Frag/Shaped Charges: Optimized to direct the explosive energy entirely forward into the target upon impact, maximizing lethality while minimizing the structural weight the drone has to carry.

No video? They did not know what the Ai chose until it sent a manned vehicle to check it out. That’s extraordinarily concerning.

Go into developer mode on your android and you can toggle see hidden Bluetooth devices. Anyone can see all the by devices around them same with wifi. Jamming them is a federal offence; Logging them and Scanning them isn’t.

Anyone can make a jammer or buy one off of aliexpress at your own expense, I stay away from them even though I’ve been tempted to build one. Alas, I’d rather read about people who do, than be the one who did.

That’s deep

But now people want them back… It’s not like people didn’t enjoy them. They fell out of fashion because of the niche audience that kept using them and because eventually everything went digital and selling things like action replay and code breakers and game shark was a hassle to load the codes onto at the time because the cables were very specific but now everything has been transferred to Type C, computers are cheap, wifi isn’t shit there’s two young generations at play and digitally adding in mods is harder than using an sd card with a preloaded cheat code system ready to hack your games or plugging in a cartridge to a flismy cartridge that if you bumped it your game would fuck up (action replay 2006). The n64 game shark destroyed games. For any online system, if you got caught online with cheats you were still subjected to potential bans.

I get why they, “fell out of fashion” but they’re a niche thing that is still oddly enough an enjoyable part of gaming.
