when amazon announced that they were going to build a drone that patrolled your house I figured that the idea was so bad that they had to have done some work to make a quadcopter that didn't scream obnoxiously loud
it turns out they did not, and the idea was just extremely bad
Wolfire Games: In my game, I invented the Killdrone as a cautionary tale.
Ring: At long last, we have created the Killdrone from the classic sci-fi game Receiver
We're one step closer to City 17 and we didn't even need alien fascists to get us there
had the EXACT same thought like lemme wallop this thing right into outer space, that sounds super fun actually
making a special star wars copromotional version that has a laser pointer on it and you can whack it with a lightsaber instead
like... it's behind a pane of glass in a carpeted room and you can still hear it over the noise of the CES expo floor, this is a product that exists solely for airbnb landlords and people who want their vacant property patrolled without hiring a security guard
The easiest way to disrupt this thing would probably just be opening a window. It looks so unstable in an empty room with no fans running already, so adding furniture and an inconsistent breeze would make it not work
there'll eventually be a much quieter model that is 100x more expensive that the wealthy actually use to patrol their vast empty estates, and all the bougie striver people will have this noisy half-life 2 ass piece of shit constantly screaming in the background during thanksgiving dinner etc
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night and having to dodge your own security
if i go to someones house and they have a fucking manhack on patrol thats gonna be the moment where my scifi dystopia action movie starts. thats the moment i snap. 36 hours before im covered in blood on top of the tallest skyscraper in the world pointing a gun at a billionaire who has taken my love interest hostage monologuing at me about how i could join him or whatever
