    Anyone else looking forward to having this superpower? No actually I don't want it and would love someone to tell me something joyful they would use this tech for.... 😥https://twitter.com/flantz/status/1039123394527031296 …

        My fear is that the unconscious brain could take over, like imagine all the things you daydream about, except happen when you’re controlling a drone fleet. Positive uses could be for things like controlling surgery robots, etc. if they can work out the daydream thing.

        will it be used for joyful things? No, it'll be used for war. But I could see something like this being used to telepathically control exoskeletons/cyborg prosthetics for people with disabilities and that would be a joyful thing.

        We had a lovely drone swarm dance over the IJ by @StudioDrift - so I would like to dance with it

        Disaster relief delivering supplies in areas that have become inaccessible by road. Or collapsed buildings maybe. Medical supplies to remote areas or samples back from them. Joyful is questionable but relief is the keyword.

        With 1 of these heavy lift drones, I can record a flood victim in 4K video. With 6-12 of them in a swam, I can rescue that flood victim.https://www.dronethusiast.com/heavy-lift-drones/ …

        Sounds impressive. What does 4K video mean? Only K I know of is 000.

        4K UHDTV = 4 times the resolution of standard HDTV. Pro 4K cameras are heavy, so thinking about the carrying capacity of those drones. It's usually impractical to coordinate them, but maybe with this swarm tech, a swarm of them could lift a person to safety

        I see, thanks for explaining about the cameras! The swarm thingy was logical earlier from your explanation (and such a clever idea too.)

        YW. Hard for me to tell how much info is enough on the internet, so try to just pack it all in.

        Joyful? Ya, no. I am with you on this. War, sure. And hopefully its good research for when we need to get off the planet, from what happens with all the wars ha.
