Am i the only one distracted because of how asymmetrical his goatee looks like?
For f sakes… I hadn’t even noticed, I was too distracted by the fact a grown man uses a “hoverboard” at work, like, WHILE working. Not just to get around.… Oy. Man child…

@@eliseumds No I understand that all silicon valley people dress however the fuck they want but this guy's outfit and beard are kind of shitty objectively
Typical of the sociological archetype "ectomorph major/ endomorph mix" body type. No emphasis or fixation on sociological fixation on the body and fashion trappings. Rather, they live for exploration and implementation of knowledge, knowledge and more knowledge (think of the "Brainiac and Peabody" stereotypes across our literature and media).
Their focus is laser-sharp on that one or two things. They are the gangly, awkward kids in your neighborhood who doesn't fit in anywhere but their little cadre of nerds who also are laughed at. These are the kids creating tomorrow's replacement to the internet (some of ther parents and grandparents were trekkies). Find that kid, befriend him, split a pizza with him and get ready!

@@futavadumnezo actually no, this guy has it wrong.. wont stop them throwing money at him though
@@MacGuffin1 you got an argument or...? Drones are extremely cheap, tracking lasers and guided projectiles are not. Even basic stuff like shotgun nets could be more expensive per drone disabled than this concept because their easy counter is to move out of their effective range.

Edit: jeez guys it was a joke, I love my man syndrome
Mo homie is a millionaire though...
You took the words right outta my mouth
It’s just for show I think. I think he walks like a normal human being when the cameras are off.
That's why he makes the big bucks "Dave's voice"
Some people thought they were cool because they were cool, not because they were popular. The amount of time they save from cutting down wasted time walking would make the boards pay for themselves.
Daring to imagine not needing a hundred thousand dollar super Sonic missile from Northrop Grumman to take down a modified hundred dollar consumer drone. What a great guy
[5:06] "Critics say technologists, like Luckey, have an ethical duty to stay out of the weapons business." Sounds a bit like "do as I say, not as I do." Maybe no one told Big Tech about DARPA?
Wow, a silicon Valley Conservative, will wonders never cease.
let me guess conservatives wont want this company to get broken up... I wonder why
@@lithium25693 cause its not big enough
@@adharshs3004 it's a billion dollar company the right answer is cause it has conservative views.
i think the right answer is @lithium25693 you hate conservatives, throughout history conservatives have always been pro business. the only reason liberals don't like anti trust right now is because the companies in question have liberal view, it's always political for the democratic party
@@adharshs3004 lol pro business the conservatives want to break up the biggest companies on the planet right now. They are jealous of liberal success and want to use big government to end their businesses

Love him or hate em his tech is on point.
And that's the problem. A nuclear bomb being "on point" is bad news as well.

This dude looks like Ricky from trailer park boys
I bet he hates playing space too.
"The only thing that can take out a swarm of fast drones is a bigger swarm of faster drones...." provided they approach one at a time and then hover in place as steadily as possible.
That is just a demo video. You can see where these drones have lasers facing up designed to track the target down and follow it until making contact.
they have laser targeting systems on the drones. They automatically track down the drones and take them down
This comment is why he's a millionaire, and you're not lol.
The typical American Argument.
In Germany we use timed Explosives in AA Rapid Fire Guns.
The Bullets are cheaper than drones.
Imajine an acid spraying on the drones.. bye bye.
Moral of the story: keep your plan B ready before you sell plan A to tech giants.
Politics aside, a tool for taking down drones is very much needed, at the moment a person can bring an entire airport to a standstill with a single hobby drone. Anti drone tech needs to catch up b4 ppl start doing a lot more malicious things with drones
It's funny that you mention that....
Anti-Drone: "Drone had been successfully Terminated. Identified as Type 747".
Newsflash: radar signatures are different for different types of aircraft.
Breaking news: they also appear visually different.
2:30 he's not the brightest when it comes to safety
He looks like a super villain
Like a super villain who wears Hawaiian Shirts and is pretty chill and hides everything behind a smile
Is that a sinister smile? Or Lucky one?
The guy that fired him is a supervillain.
He looks like the grubhub dude
You mean Hank Scorpio?
@@hellomanman facts
This is cool.
What about kidnapping the other drone
In a net..
Drones could be strengthened and equipped with a protected pusher propeller for repeated ramming but the number of net attacks whatever from ground or air is severely limited by physical and logistical limitations.
increases the weight and decreases the efficiency of drone
You could call it like, Sky Net or something
" *And when every drone becomes **_super_** , no one will ever be!* "
He is a rare GET IT DONE technology nerd. I bet he will do very well.
You mean like every other tech start up nerd lol literally a dime a dozen
He seems like a beginning of a villain story.
Imagine making weapons to stop others using their own qeapons.

If technologists like Lucky should do their ethical duty and stay out of the weapons business, then WHO should be doing weapons business?
🤷🏼♂️ Certainly not peeps like the presenter. They only seem to care about opposing political opponents but lack any ideas of their own.
Well, nobody. I would certaily like that.
His weapons are purely defensive in nature, dont see why anyone would have a problem with it. Will help prevent attacks like one on the Saudi oil fields.
Hope not, but humans are humans
@@tec4303 if nobody does it, someone will.
“the only thing to stop a cloud of drones is a bigger cloud of drones” is the stupidest sales pitch ever
Well it worked for the guy who sold those 19 aircraft carriers to the US...
It's an American way to see the system. To stop an guy with a gun, buy a bigger gun 🤷🏼♂️
Literally like.. CIWS just does this. We already have the technology, it's just not used for drones yet
Says the kid with no multimillion-dollar defense contracts.
this would be alot more interesting if the background video was just drones colliding for 5 minutes. i'll still listen to what ppl gotta say but really just show us what we came for
The guy has gained some serious weight since his 2012 Kickstarter launch video.
he rides an electric scooter around his workplace. dude needs to walk lmao
I _heavily_ agree
and he has unlimited resources to loose it if he wants or he could actually fucking walk occasionally
I looked back at that video...he let himself go :0
"The only thing that can take out a swarm of fast drones is a bigger swarm of faster drones." I feel like an automated turret would be a lot less expensive and far more versatile. Drones are better for offense, defense is won by turrets, bullets are faster.
@Apple User 2 not as expensive as slamming drones into drones and hoping it's enough to stop the other, the scenario he is talking about - where a lot of drones could come at once - isn't one where said drones are harmless/built for surveillance, swarms mean they probably carry payloads.
How about a big net. Wouldn't that work
Its aimed for Consumer first to make money.
Do you expect common citizen to have turret ?
Turrets can't move. They aren't mobile. You might need to deploy drones to an area without turrets. We don't even have automated ground turrets in most military bases, we just have manned machined guns.
@@CountingStars333 sounds like a need that could easily be filled. Manned guns are garbage compared to automated turrets.
Hate it when people say 'the only way'.. there are several ways to get rid of a bunch of drones...like I don't know, a strong gust of wind
Newest drones are not affected by wind. Crazy to see.
@@txelwood not affected by tornado size winds?
I’m convinced he has invented a time machine in the 80s and came here
This is what I expect Michael Reeves to become in the future
Underrated
4:30 Isn't this just tensorflow object identification with python? This isn't new tech, this is just a new solution.
Yeah he just put it in a nice bottle to sell
That's like saying when the first smartphone came out "that's just a touch screen, smartphones aren't knew tech". Are you saying tech can't use other tech? Or what?
Military tech is an Oxymoron, like Military Intelligence, it doesn't innovate, create or inspire...
.
Also, the Military relies too much on foreign built electronics, like from China, Taiwan or Japan. Nothing should be built overseas, not even by our allies, just like with the Manhattan Project.
Yes, he also pointed out that he thought the military was behind the consumer market in a lot of areas, and the presenter said he used parts already available on the market
Yes.. renaming it and making it look cool
I don't get it. "The only thing that can take out a swarm of drones is a bigger swarm of faster drones." Really? Why would you want to waste your drone "swarm" like that? I'd just send up cluster bomb EMP missiles into the swarm and fry them. Then, I'd take that same swarm of drones that I didn't waste and attack my aggressor to finish them. Seems like a much better plan.

This guys fixs the roll of a mad scientist.
He's trying too hard to be a tech stereotype.
Sure, but he’s worth a bil. His “trying” looks more like “doing it.”
that is the point. Play up the stereotype cause his portrayal of it will make the masses think so since the masses are idiots.
doing not trying.. his resume says a lot
Hes a pioner in tech, what hes building in the defense industry will be used for houndreds of years
He looks completely opposite of Zuckerberg, pichai, bezos, musk, karp.
He is the kind of guy who will come up with an A.I. like Cyberdyne one day. Then the whole world will have reason to worry.
Try to be original
May not be "original"🙄..but he's also not wrong either.
As an engeneering student myself, I wunder what would happen, if we would use a fraction of military development budgets, for open science.
EG. we could drasticly reduce the need for fertilizer and pesticides by using robots, drones and AI.
But why do that?
2:30 that’s how he does his hair in the morning...
what an interesting guy.. spending his billion and making another company instead of retiring
Just like Elon Musk does.
and Jeff Bezos, and plenty of other billiionaries.
It’s not about money, it’s about ego.
He didn't spend his billions. He got the money from investors...
@@cancerino666 naw but you'll find out he started the company with money from his own pockets
just stepping on the hoverboard ruins any slight credibility he may ever have
I bet he has said: "If I didn't do it someone would".
"I just make the tech, it's not up to me how people use it!"
Anyone taking bets on the likelihood he is developing an iron man suit?? Lol
Very unlikely. That type of tech is easily 50-75 years away.
If he would have one, he'd sell them to the highest bidder
This guy gives me serious Justin Hammer vibes.
Yup, smart and annoying af
Except his stuff actually works.
You can't make this stuff up:
In November 2022, it was announced that as a commemoration of the anime Sword Art Online, Luckey created a VR headset that kills its human user in real life when the user dies digitally in the video game, by means of several explosive charges affixed above the screen, on what appears to be a modified Meta Quest Pro, to aim the blast at the user's forebrain.
The argument for why a land-based or aerial vehicle couldn’t launch projectiles to take down a swarm of drones wasn’t made.
Looks like a patriot to me. These colors don't run.

It’s scary that he easily could add a large turret to that defense tower, and have it just rain hell on whatever drives or walks by...
Hi, not an american. What he is doing is nothing new or revolutionary, computer vision algos used for tracking have been implemented by grad students in their semester projects all over the world tonnes of time. What he did do is that he offered a simple solution when others were thinking of complex/expensive ones.
@@syedyasirali1974 Yeah lmfao. People acting like this is new. This dude saving our tax dollars while being hella effective.
