MIT builds swarms of tiny robotic insect drones that can fly 100 times longer than previous designs

Exactly!
Flying, they are flying everywheeeaaahhhh! -
Humans are the crops.

Plot twist: The crop is human misery.

My dear stranger, those already exist, and have been used in war to terminate key individuals.
We are living the dream.

But how can techbros get rich from bees? Bees just make themselves for free then serve the greater good, the little buzzing communists.

Point me towards systems that don't have a human in the loop, particularly any that utilize fully-autonomous swarms, and I'll agree. Scary as the former are, there's a world of difference between a handful of FPV suicide drones, and a cloud of HL2-Manhack-esque things operating on face-recogniton-guided autopilot.

Looks like they hovered for 1000 seconds. It was previously stress limited such that the joints would break after just a few seconds. I think they might still be tethered for a power source, I haven't seen any of these micro flapping bots include a battery yet, and they didn't mention that they did.

Because developing a replacement for bees is certainly a better solution then saving the bees...

That researcher is a real life Dr. Hoenikker. Vonnegut is probably shrugging in his grave

Yeah I was gonna say like why are we even workshopping the name with a winner like that. Get this employee a bonus check!
