Luis Wenus, an entrepreneur and engineer, programmed a small, off-the-shelve drone with AI and facial recognition to chase people around just for fun and “as a game,” but soon came to the realization that his discovery could have much more nefarious purposes, especially if a payload is attached to these drones.

Live Science wrote in a report: ‘Collaborating with Robert Lukoszko, another engineer, he configured the drone to use an object-detection model to find people and fly toward them at full speed, he said. The engineers also built facial recognition into the drone, which works at a range of up to 33 feet (10 meters). This means a weaponized version of the drone could be used to attack a specific person or set of targets.’

Wenus said in a lengthy post on X (emphasis his):

We built an AI-steered homing/killer drone in just a few hours. I thought it would be fun to build a drone that chases you around as a game. It just uses an AI object detection model to find people in the frame, and then the drone is programmed to fly towards this at full speed as soon as it detects someone.

This literally took just a few hours to build, and made me realize how scary it is. You could easily strap a small amount of explosives on these and let 100’s of them fly around. We check for bombs and guns but THERE ARE NO ANTI-DRONE SYSTEMS FOR BIG EVENTS & PUBLIC SPACES YET.

I was also able to add face recognition to it, and only make it attack someone it knew who was, it could easily identify the person from 10 meters distance. My bet is that we will see some sort of terror attack using this type of tech within the next few years. You still need some technical knowledge to build this now, but it becomes easier and easier.

We need to build anti-drone systems for civilian spaces asap. I’m usually an open-source absolutist, but I will not post for now, it’s honestly super easy to code but no point enabling. Disclaimer: this was built on a tiny drone for a game and would not hurt anyone, just wanted to spread awareness around this.

Live Science also noted, ‘the U.S. military is also working on ways to build and control swarms of small drones that can attack targets. It follows the U.S. Navy’s efforts after it first demonstrated that it could control a swarm of 30 drones with explosives in 2017, according to MIT Technology Review.

The Trends Journal also said in response to this X post: “The history of technology shows that if it’s possible to do something, someone will do it. Look for “murder by drone” to be a plot in a TV cop show, if it hasn’t been already, and for someone to be killed that way in real life before long.”


AUTHOR COMMENTARY

Well, Trends Journal, this has already been imagined and warned about for many years.

In 2019 the short film company ALTER produced a film called “Slaughterbots,” which depicts the grim reality that Wenus concluded. The description reads: “In a dystopian world a new form of A.I. weaponry has been created. All these drone bots need is a profile: age, sex, fitness, uniform, and ethnicity. Nuclear is obsolete. Take out your entire enemy virtually risk free. Just characterize him, release the swarm, and rest easy.”

I remember also there was a song by the rock band Muse called “Reapers” from their album “Drones,” which sang and warned about this new dystopian paradigm of being killed by a drone.

[18] As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, [19] So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?

Proverbs 26:18-19

The point is, what Wenus has come to recognize is something that people have feared and inadvertently predicted would happen; and while I am not claiming that he is being deceitful as our proverb would indicate, the discovery of these potential hunting and killer devices came from just horsing around and playing a “game.”

Having said this, if this engineer just came to this revelation now, then you best believe the militaries of the world have already long since known how to do this, and probably already have them in their bases locked away for the time to deploy.

[18] They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come. [19] Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.

Lamentations 4:18-19

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • Oh, it’s just for fun, a game, till the wrong people get it. I’ll bet this guy will sell out to the Gov. for money, watch and see.

  • They were using these in the Middle East when Ovomit was in power the first time. I have news stories to prove it. This is just a not so subtle way to say, “We’re coming for you next, Citizen, and here’s how we’re going to do it! You won’t even see it coming.”

    In light of another news story Jacob published this morning, “US Army At West Point Removes ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ From Mission Statement”, the picture becomes all too clear… The non-illegals are coming in to do the dirty work against ALL N. Amerikans, not just the DSA (Divided States of Amerika).

    We’re living in the time in which it REALLY “pays to be prepared to die at all times”, like never before! Look up; your killer may be overhead in the near future… Maranatha!

  • Here’s some quotes from a 2021 article I have on file: “No Place To Hide, Drones With Facial Recognition Are Set To Fly” By BY THOMAS BREWSTER/ACTIVIST POST FEBRUARY 19, 2021

    I have an older file but MS won’t allow me to open it.

    “Some of the first drones with advanced facial recognition capabilities are being developed by Israeli surveillance companies, as American police consider whether they will soon be adding the controversial technology to their unmanned flying machines.

    As a sign of the imminent arrival of biometric identification from the air, an Israeli startup, one previously-funded by Microsoft, has patented technologies for drone-based facial recognition.
    A patent application, published earlier this month, was filed by Tel Aviv-based AnyVision back in August 2019 in the U.S., detailing tech to help a drone find the best angles for a facial recognition shot, before trying to find a match for the target by referring to faces stored in a database.”

    It was first introduced by Amazon, under the guise of delivering packages. I’ve seen actual video footage where terrorists were nothing more than a wet spot on the sidewalk in M.E. countries.

    Canada let us know way back in 2014 that “we” got over 300 of the things. Could this be the fulfillment of Rev. 9?

    “The patent aims to iron out some of the complexities of identifying faces from a flying machine. Various obvious issues arise when trying to recognize someone from a drone: acquiring an angle at which a face can be properly captured and being able to get good-quality visuals whilst moving or hovering. Both are considerably harder than getting a match from static footage.”

    Translation: we want to be able to have better stability when firing at someone. As we all should know…our governments have these technologies at least 20 years before making it known to the public. If they were half smart, they’d use lasers instead of bombs or bullet, so they could blame the killings on heart attacks….Cooooviddd. Something horrifying was released at CERN during their official satanic celebrations but they’re not telling us what “it” is. Was it the angels who were confined to the abyss, as some speculate? The killer drones are here, and they will be used.

    Until Jesus raptures us, we’re all fish in a barrel, waiting to be shot.
