Can’t imagine what could possibly go wrong with this idea.
wait, how are they going to “test” this?
Recess.
Using school to practice your combat drone tech and funnel more tax payer money into the hands of the military complex. Very cool. /s
Everything except getting rid of guns.
What a rotten shithole of a country.
The only way you’re going to get rid of billions of guns is if you have a magic genie or a monkey paw.
If our country actually cared and was a force of good and peace, we would have a long-term plan for things like buyback as well as strict regulations and MAYBE in a hundred years we would be gun-free for the most part, but the guns are only half the problem.
The problem is the lack of community and the atomization of our feelings and perspectives. People don’t shoot up schools when they feel loved, connected and unafraid of their future. When people have something to live for, they want to help each other see that future.
That’s the rotten part, that’s where our country is dying. We drank too deep of the well of “rugged individualism” and now everyone is wandering around like it’s a video game and NPC’s don’t deserve second thought.
Can’t concentrate with all the humming and weird pop noises!
And truancy!
Of course the password to the school’s drone control system was just “admin1234”
“Let’s test the new firmware in the district with the most minorities.”
You know it will happen. Maybe they’ll phrase it differently but the decision will be made.
It’s on. Shooters will now respond with armed drones.
government to use air strikes to prevent drone powered school shootings
This is so much better than passing common sense gun laws.
And cheaper! /s
I don’t see this going wrong at all. Do you know how long a drone battery lasts? Do you trust AI to pick out the right kids to shoot?
Wtf timeline am I in?
Ah AI only has trouble with minority skin colors so it’s not really a problem. /s
The one where five white dudes who hoarded all the money control everything.
Oh no, now the shooters have drones!
Stole it from the school.
Having attended school this hypothetical is entirely 100% plausible. More children will be killed by these drones then they end up protecting.
Hacked drones…
Now you can do a school shooting from the comfort of your own home!

With how they’re also ramping up Christian crap in schools, I imagine them putting little wings and halos, and having kids pray for the drones.
theres some gnarly drones. like explosive drones that travel in groups of hundreds. theres nothing you can do when a sea of drones come at you endlessly.
Wait until the bullied nerd learns to hack that system and sends the armed drones to exterminate the jocks.
That could never happen. The manufacturer assured parents their proprietary software is unhackable.
I’m trying to imagine something like this getting installed in my old school in the UK, and it’s so bizarre and totally removed from my reality growing up that I can’t even picture it.
The whole concept of a robot armed with a lethal weapon just sitting there in my classroom each and every day, waiting for someone in a remote control centre to decide that someone in the room should be killed? I think that would traumatize me a little even if there never was an attack.
I was in a high school that received this active shooter campus wide recognition system. It included a few physical security systems to help autonomously alert if there were gun shots fired somewhere. One of the systems was these green lights inside the normal flourecent lights. They would turn red or flash or something as a visual alert. But the green light cast this weird green glow everywhere in the school and to me it was this eerie constant reminder of the threat. I was only a visitor for a special program for a few days, but even this was a little traumatizing for me. The drone would be terrifying.
I don’t think it’s a location thing, it’s an intelligence thing - I’m in Florida and it doesn’t make any more sense to me
