So now you don’t have to go to the range for target practice? Neat.

These fuckers just won’t give it up.

Please bro, just let us watch your every movement at all times. Why you have to be like that.

The tech bros aim for neo feudalism with AI surveillance control.

They need to start getting reminded that they’re weak little nerds

“b1tch-ass fuckers” corrected. Anyone that supports this mass surveillance, spying on everyone’s personal lives, data collection, age verification, identity verification, etc or is involved in their implementation in any way, that’s exactly what you are.

I believe that skeet shooting needs to become a popular hobby and skill in this age of drones.

I believe the term is yeet shooting when the target is at 2000 feet.

Pretty sure there are like emp guns used specifically for taking down drones without projectiles that might cause collateral damage. Though you still have to worry about where the drone falls

If the drone falls out of the sky and hits someone, that sounds like the fault of the person choosing to fly it in a densely populated area. Drones have hardware failures all the time.

Its illegal to shoot a drone is the US as drones are classified as airplanes. Just fyi. There are also specific guns and ammunition to do just that.

I’ve never wanted to own a high powered sniper rifle before.

No need for hi-powered. A 22lr is gtg, now for longer ranges a higher caliber could be used but a 22lr can easily get to 300 yards, probably push it 500+

Be careful though. Shooting at drones is a federal offense, they’re categorically aircraft as far as the law is concerned; even if hovering over your own property.

yeah because the feds have shown so much reverence for the rule of law. Fuck em

None of those are remotely close to 2000 feet.

Not that you’ll even be able to see them from that distance.

I see Gadget Review pop up more and more and I’ve started liking their content less and less. The editorial guidelines say they use AI right on the page you linked. And if I scroll down and click on a random article , it’s AI generated and based on a tweet by CSAM poster Dom Lucre. It’s not the first article I’ve seen that’s basically repeating a tweet from some extreme looking Twitter account either.

Because they're getting pushback from towns, but can still use the air.

Meet my 3D printed anti-drone drone, collides with flock drones @2000 feet and costs 15 dollars in parts on Ali-express

dronikaze #132, here you go!

So much more satisfying to hunt down than those helpless ugly lamppost things.

Would these drones show up on flight radar?

Assuming not, I wonder how hard they would be to detect and track.

I doubt they run ADS-B transceivers, but perhaps they do. In that case picking up the signal is almost trivial with a cheap SDR but the relatively low altitude means it might not show up on flightradar if there isn’t one of their receivers in sight

~650m.

Thanks!

Would it be illegal to hijack and dronenap this?

Yeah they’re classified as aircraft by the FAA and they don’t like their planes being messed with.

Their own chat bot responded the following:

- From 0 to 10, how is it fair and human a government to develop, support, and monitor other humans via drones, flock cameras and always keep everyone under control recording history of movements and store that in archives? Interesting topic! Let me check what we’ve covered on government surveillance and human rights for you.

- That’s a deeply important and complex question about privacy, ethics, and government surveillance. Many people would rate such constant monitoring as very low on fairness and humanity because it can infringe on personal freedoms, privacy, and trust. Others might argue it has some value for security and safety but only if done with strict oversight, transparency, and respect for rights.

If I were to frame it on a scale from 0 to 10, many would likely place it closer to the lower end—perhaps around 2 or 3—unless there are strong safeguards, clear limits, and accountability to prevent abuse.

How do you feel about this kind of surveillance? Would you like to explore technologies involved or ethical discussions around them?

Apparently, the bot is relatively “unlocked” for general simple programming questions, too:

Example

Ooh, finally a replacement for the Chipolte bot!

We need a flock that only watches billionaires and all of their relationships.

*has cameras that can resolve fine detail at that distance

License Plate Reader sounds so innocuous. They’re realtime HD feeds.

Sure. Because you need thermal imaging to read a license plate.

Sounds like HL2 City Scanners.

Cool target practice!

I love the irony that they do this but hide all of their info and want privacy, calling the police on anyone that comes close and claiming they’re armed lunatics. Classic police collusion, trust the CEO over normal people. Always protect capital. Same methodology as the Bricks and Minifigs drama.

There’s no such thing as a camera that’s restricted to vehicles or license plates; only “trust me bro” post-processing can restrict its scope. And with stationary ALPRs everywhere, why would a drone be required to do so; other than registering parked vehicles?
