I want some kind of hat with a laser on it that uses AI to shoot every mosquito that comes near me

That exists, but not in a hat. Not yet, anyway.
This is gonna be a trillion dollar business
once your blood nicotine gets high enough, they won't bite you anymore
Yeah I think Intellectual Ventures was working on something like that for a while...
Get a cat instead


Unless equally high BAC negates this, my experience last night says otherwise
Fun fact. There’s a company in Bellevue WA called Intellectual Ventures. Mostly owned by Gates. It’s a patent troll shop. They have an office and a lab for experiments. Sometime around 2013 I got to tour the lab. They had little plexiglass cages of mosquitoes all over the place and lasers shooting at them from across the room. They told me it was a “smart laser that burns the wings off. Soon you’ll be able to have a parameter around a house that mosquitoes can’t penetrate.” Then there was a tall tower of mosquitoes in another part of the lab. I asked about that and they said they were experimenting with terminator genes. I said “like GMO mosquitoes?”. The reply “exactly!”
I remember at the time thinking, this will be how they kill us.
All I know is they had an office full of attorneys turning out patents. I asked them if they commercialized them and they said mostly no, they just watched for people to violate them and then sued them.
You'll blow your eye out
We need one for the entire planet. Fuckem
i want this too. but not for mosquitoes.
Looks like 1 trillion dollar idea!
