Speaking to Barron’s magazine, Oborski said King had observed the effectiveness of the technology during the war in Ukraine.

So... how long until some kid discovers the login/password to this system is Admin/admin1234?

Some kid walking with a pen in their hand, SHOOTER, SEND DRONES!!

Later that day: our new system still needs testing bs statement.

Happens a few more times and an actual shooter shows up and nothing happens,

statement: system had to be taken down for testing/maintenance (and cost cutting because AI tokens expensive af) and unfortunately during that time a shooter appeared on the premises and we were unable to do anything.

To be fair, according to the article these drones are remote piloted, not AI controlled. So they probably won't function because rent-a-cop Stu is taking a three hour long lunch break at the stripclub or passed out drunk under his desk.

Oh yes. Pepper spray. That’ll stop a determined aggressor.

(/s. It won’t. This drone is not for that. Probably for quelling student protest or something to that effect instead.)

(Anything but gun control, amirite?)

Anything but hiring human guards maybe?

Who am I kidding, the admin gets a kick back from the vendor for showcasing their tech. Money is always the answer in 'murica

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Human guards would be more effective than the drone at stopping an active shooter; but they won’t stop active shooters from being active in the first place.

For that you need to attack the actual problems.

The next school shooters will just carry an extra melee weapon to swat down the drones.
