Should we be worried about how good AI is getting at coding autonomous drones? Introducing Drone-Bench, a benchmark where AI agents code drones to complete a simple autonomous surveillance task. Drone-Bench is independent but based on Project Pilot, our work with Anthropic.

ELON: FUTURE WARS WILL BE FOUGHT BY DRONES AND AI “The biggest effect [of warfare's transformation] by far is AI and drones. The current war in Ukraine is very much a drone war already. If there's a major power war, it's very much going to be a drone war. It's going to be drones and AI. I do worry about the existential risk of AI, which is that if you employ AI and drones, do you go down this path where eventually you get to Terminator? We should try to avoid that and minimize the Terminator risk. [But] when you're making military drones, you are making Terminators. [In fact] I think you'll somewhat be forced into giving the drone localized AI, because if the AI is far away, it can't control as well as a localized AI. Meaning [the robot is] an autonomous killing machine. You give it the okay in a particular arena, and it just goes.” Source: West Point Military Academy, August 2024

Units under Ukraine's 40th Coastal Defense Brigade appear to be using AI/autonomous FPV drones more this month (or at least posting the footage). Seen here, a compilation of recent Ukrainian FPV drone strikes that appear to use some form of onboard autonomous targeting aid

🚨UKRAINE IS GOING FULL SCI-FI IN 2025: DRONES, AI & ROBOT ARMIES! Ukraine’s war tech is getting an upgrade. Deputy PM Fedorov says 2025 will see 30,000+ autonomous drones and robotic vehicles hit the battlefield, delivering supplies, evacuating soldiers, and changing trench warfare forever. But wait—there’s more! Think drone swarms straight out of a sci-fi movie and AI systems with autonomous targeting capabilities. The future of warfare is here. Meanwhile, Russia's playing defense with decoy drones to tire out Ukrainian systems. The innovation race is on—and it’s dead serious. Source: Reuters

My take on the drone situation. Drones are real. Drones are a genuine security issue. But what we are seeing with the New Jersey scare is not drones. All cases with sufficient information turned out not to be large drones.

We asked Amjad Masad (Founder & CEO of Replit ⠕) what happens when engineers start managing AI agents instead of code. “The buzzword used to be the 10x engineer. I started talking about the 1000x engineer; someone highly leveraged by autonomous agents. "Right now, people using Replit spin up multiple agents to work on their project while they handle the main task." "You're no longer just one person, you’re a team. Every engineer is now sort of a manager." "We're not at 1000x yet, but soon the gap between a great engineer who knows how to use AI tools and an okay one will be 100x.”

Drone investors, a Ukrainian advisor, and a US military captain said the next breakthrough in drone warfare could be drone swarm technology, which would allow a swarm of drones to coordinate amongst themselves with AI. “Drones working together like a swarm of bees?” Williams asked US military captain Ronan Sefton. “Exactly,” he said. “It is scary, absolutely.”

UOMI Testnet AI Agents are Live – The Future of Autonomous On-Chain Intelligence 🤖 Most AI Agent launchpads today offer unlimited, low-functionality bots—easily deployed but lacking real utility. UOMI is different. We are building a new class of AI agents, not just simple Twitter bots, but fully autonomous onchain economic entities that will trade, transact, govern, and generate real value onchain. 🧵👇🏼

After a lightning strike, every aircraft must be carefully inspected before it can fly again. Traditionally, this process can take time and requires technicians to manually check large sections of the aircraft. This is where autonomous drone technology can help. Equipped with advanced sensors and AI-powered analysis, a fully autonomous drone can quickly scan the aircraft surface and detect potential lightning strike damage with high precision. The goal is not to replace experts, but to support them - making inspections faster, more consistent, and ultimately helping make aviation even safer. New technologies like AI and robotics often raise concerns about jobs. But when used responsibly, they can also reduce risk, assist skilled professionals, and improve safety in critical industries like aviation. What do you think - can technologies like AI and autonomous drones help make flying safer, or do you worry more about the impact on jobs? With muc_maintenance Not an ad

$ONDS is trying to build a full 'system-of-systems' across aerial drones, counter-drone systems, ground robotics, ISR, border security, demining and AI-enabled command-and-control. That's where the $PLTR partnership becomes important because software is what can turn a collection of drones, sensors and robots into a real operating system. The acquisition strategy is aggressive but this quarter made it look a lot more credible. Less like a roll-up and more like an emerging autonomous defense platform with real demand behind it.

🚨THIS IS SCARY: ANTHROPIC SAYS THE WORLD SHOULD HIT PAUSE ON AI Earlier, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "The other extreme position is 'this is really scary, we should just pause.. stop building the technology'" Now, Anthropic says: "Our AI is getting scary good at improving us. We believe it would be good for the world to have the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI development." Are we so close to that "extreme position" than most realise?

Introducing "codebase to course", a skill that turns any codebase into an interactive coding course So that you can learn coding through your own projects, complete with visualization, plain-English code translations, metaphors, even quizzes... I vibe code a lot but have no idea how the code works under the hood. This is how I think "learning to code" should be in the AI age: Build first, learn later Link below

Peter Thiel on autonomous warfare: “You have a human in the loop, but the human can get jammed.” “So the natural fix is to put AI on the drones and then these into more autonomous weapons systems. “Even I as a pro-tech person— I have to say I find that somewhat unsettling.”

⚡️⭕️ Netanyahu at a conference in the Valley: "We have a task to complete in Iran. I'm talking about it with President Trump almost every day". On the drones: I was yesterday half a day at the base to see the "drone"... I was 6 weeks ago in Lebanon, they showed me a drone with a fiber optic cable and an RPG head. This is a strategic threat and a global epidemic. We will be the first country in the world to bring a solution to this.

🚨 Flock safety cameras are expanding to surveillance drones “Flock just got wings — The same company behind the cameras are now putting autonomous surveillance drones in the sky” “Now the company's automated license plate readers have spread across the country, creating one of the nation's largest interconnected video surveillance networks. After partnering with aviation software company Aerodrome, Flock launched Flock Alpha, an autonomous police drone built to respond to emergencies before officers even arrive. The drone sits inside a waterproof docking station waiting for a call, and when a 911 report comes in, the drone can launch automatically and fly up to 60 miles per hour. Officers don't even have to be standing nearby — And this thing isn't just flying overhead. It's got thermal imaging, high-definition cameras, and powerful optical zoom. And while according to Flock, It can even read a vehicle's license plate from 2,000 feet away. That's not terrifying at all….” These drones are being marketed specifically as a “Drone as First Responder” used to respond to emergency calls But that’s not really all they’re being used for. I’ve shared a video of leaked San Francisco footage of flock drones that are very clearly just roaming around looking for crimes, in other words mass surveillance This is the surveillance state
