Is this the first step on the slippery slope to home defense drones armed with napalm and machine guns? (I can see where it would be very satisfying to paint ball a porch pirate!)
This armed security camera uses AI to fire paintballs or tear gas at trespassers
PaintCam is an armed home/office security camera that uses AI to spot trespassers and fires paintballs or tear gas projectiles at them. The company's promotional video looks like a parody but apparently this "vigilant guardian that doesn't sleep, blink, or miss a beat" is a real product.
According to New Atlas, the system "uses automatic target marking, face recognition and AI-based decision making to identify unfamiliar visitors to your property, day or night.
When the demand for information is huge, providing anything must be profitable.

Fake Footage of Iran’s Attack on Israel Is Going Viral
IN THE HOURS after Iran announced its drone and missile attack on Israel on April 13, fake and misleading posts went viral almost immediately on X. The Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), a nonprofit think tank, found a number of posts that claimed to reveal the strikes and their impact, but that instead used AI-generated videos, photos, and repurposed footage from other conflicts which showed rockets launching into the night, explosions, and even President Joe Biden in military fatigues.
Just 34 of these misleading posts received more than 37 million views, according to ISD. Many of the accounts posting the misinformation were also verified, meaning they have paid X $8 per month for the “blue tick” and that their content is amplified by the platform’s algorithm. ISD also found that several of the accounts claimed to be open source intelligence (OSINT) experts, which has, in recent years, become another way of lending legitimacy to their posts.
