California firm Skydio shipped 100s of AI drones to Israel, which battle-tested them in Gaza. Now nearly every big US city has signed up with Skydio and is using the drones to surveil their populations

'Ceasefire' is not accurate at all.
'On average, Israeli weapons now kill 7 people a day. That rate of violent death would be considered an active conflict in many other contexts, raising questions about how accurately “ceasefire” describes the new status quo.'
