Brave new world.
A couple of weeks ago I posted a vid on a very simplistic version of this tech. Basically a liftoff and a couple of simple fly patterns. I mentioned that it caused me to experience that 'uncanny valley' anxiety, which felt completely overblown for what I was watching.

These two posts, I think, are trying to explain what my lizard brain was experiencing.

It's all fun and games until you control 3500 very capable drones each loaded with a shaped charge of C4 or worse.
