| Dazzle camouflage doesn't work on killer drones. Even civilian LLMs recognize that the object on the photograph is a military truck, except they can't explain why it's been painted to resemble a zebra. Most dedicated machine vision models easily lock in on a boxy shape moving along a road. If anything, the stripes make the trucks easier to see. The real answer to killer drones is a CIWS that can cover 2pi steradians and attack multiple drones at the same time, because otherwise it will be just swarmed by drones that quietly glide towards it, engines off, from several directions before entering the final dive. |

| Absolutely this will work, it's all over social media. Remember, in WWII Carrots were the secret weapon used to defeat the night fighters. |

| The difference is that a neural network you can fit on a drone is going to be a lot less capable than an LLM you can run on a desktop. |
