A "lethal" weaponized drone "hunted down a human target" without being told to, likely for the first time, according to a UN report seen by the New Scientist.
In the March 2020 incident, a Kargu-2 quadcopter autonomously attacked a person during a conflict between Libyan government forces and a breakaway military faction, led by the Libyan National Army's Khalifa Haftar, the Daily Star reported.
The Turkish-built Kargu-2, a deadly attack drone designed for asymmetric warfare and anti-terrorist operations, targeted one of Haftar's soldiers while he tried to retreat, according to the paper.
The drone, which can be directed to detonate on impact, was operating in a "'highly effective' autonomous mode that required no human controller," the New York Post reported.
"The lethal autonomous weapons systems were programmed to attack targets without requiring data connectivity between the operator and the munition: in effect, a true 'fire, forget and find' capability," the report from the UN Security Council's panel of experts on Libya said.

This is likely the first time drones have attacked humans without instructions to do so, Zak Kallenborn, a national-security consultant who specializes in unmanned systems and drones, confirmed in the report.
Kallenborn has concerns about the future of autonomous drones. "How brittle is the object recognition system?" he said in the report. "How often does it misidentify targets?"
Jack Watling, a researcher on land warfare at the Royal United Services Institute, told the New Scientist that the incident demonstrates the "urgent and important" need to discuss the potential regulation of autonomous weapons.
Human Rights Watch has called for an end to so-called "killer robots" and is campaigning for a "preemptive ban on the development, production, and use of fully autonomous weapons," according to a report by the nonprofit.
nice vid where did you get it and any more info?
not really, cant see if its autonomous, explosion is excessive, a tiny shaped charge to the skull should do, making the drones smaller, you would release many and they would clear out an area
Fun comparison for my old app that I am discontinuing.
iOS market share is around 30%, Android is cca 70% (Europe matches world-wide in this case, my app was area-specific in Europe)
Yet I had 82% installations on iOS.
Also, iOS users are more likely to spend money on apps (mine was free, although it allowed access to paid content).
Not sure, if my numbers are representative, but if I had to do it all over again (I hope not), I would choose iOS first from the business and number of users perspective.
I don't know about F-Droid/Obtainium/Aurora numbers, but I guess it would be less than 5% of installs if the app is available on Play Store.
My recent problems have been with Apple, but it does not make sense to develop the Android app either.

what was your app?

they are centralizing power, the gov is massively increasing spending which increases inflation which justifies rate rises which collapses the private sector leaving only those aligned to gov
there is new apps every week... but iris has been around a while, i quite enjoy amethyst as it has a good amount of features, like chat and livestreaming and the antispam works really well
the most important thing is a good mix of relays, not enough and you miss parts of nostr and too many slows your app down, relay selection is being automated too but only some apps have that yet, i recommend the relay relay.mostr.pub which bridges nostr to mastodon aka the fedi, they have 13 million users which adds variety beyond bitcoin lol
surprised drone warfare is so basic, there should be autonomous antiperson drones by now
you need a few 100 follows for moderation via reports like in amethyst, but maybe thats not the best feed, people are working on multiple lists, one list is quite stupid, you can see why twitter became shitter as it stopped evolving
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m thanks for maintaining such an epic list of people you follow. you just made my journey from "x" to nostr so much easier 🙏
All I had to do was follow everyone you're following, it's roughly the same Bitcoiners I was already following on Twitter so much less work for me in finding them all manually. Thank you 👌
some apps let you copy all a follow list with one click like iris.to
how many fedi instances have blocked mostr? where is this info?
nostr users can just not add mostr altho other relays may be relaying it
unfortunately that is not how societies work, remove the gov and the nation will fracture into multiple areas now run by new gov aka cartels aka warlords or what ever you want to call the most violent groups to emerge
iris was the first to do that, and it is quite customizable
i think reports work better
i tried primal and its quite crap compared to amethyst
nostr is the latest social media tech
