Where does militarisation of consumer tech lead us?
Over the last few years, you see more and more cases of 3D printed weapons and drones being built by Ukrainian wives on kitchen tables.
Historically, military tech has often trickled down to the consumer. Nowadays, consumer tech has become so advanced that it seems to be trickling upward to the military.
This brings up the question: how accessible has militarisation of consumer tech become?
Over the past 4 months I've been exploring this question by recreating a ukrainian FPV drone myself (as a non techy) and talking to some amazing people in this space @nprofile1q...😉.
So, where do you think this will lead us? Anarchy or equality? Curious to hear your thoughts!
