So how much damage would this device hypothetically do to a human, when (inevitably) someone reprograms it remotely - perhaps combining it with one of those clever pupil-detecting algorithms?
(Don’t get me wrong - I not only want one, I’ve been saying for years that I wanted someone to invent a laser-based mosquito defense. But that also means I’ve had time to think of the drawbacks. )
Is it possible to limit the laser to an intensity that would not affect humans at all?
Was it a UV laser they used? Not really happy about that, if so - that way lies, at best, pranks where someone hijacks the thing and programs it to undetectably print cusswords on a sleeping person’s skin in sun-burn…
