Good stuff!

Mostly AI @cory.
Sorry to tell you.

How can you tell, @Mick! The tech is getting so good these days...and I'll readily admit to not being suspicious enough.

In this case I saw these vids on twitter and Grok confirmed it.
But generally you just know.

I heard an NPR report just this morning from some AI image creation specialists that said it can be very difficult to tell now. I dunno, grain of salt...but I am clueless. How did you "just know"?

@0.16 box blew up, but then you see the guy holding a completely undamaged box.

Doing that type of thing to a criminal is a way to lose a lot of windows or worse.

I googled the premise. It says if anyone gets hurt by your booby trap then you are likely in trouble.

Like me being tempted to shotgun that realtor's drone out of my airspace a while back. Trouble is right.

Post in thread 'Drones'

Dec 18, 2024

I was sorely tempted to shotgun a real estate agent's drone a few months back. He didn't need to overfly my property repeatedly to take pictures of the place across the road.

Out of curiosity, I looked up what the laws were regarding doing as he was doing, and for my considered response.

Long story short, he can fly over my property until I request that he desist, then he cannot. And if I shoot his drone down, it is treated by federal law just exactly the same as if I shot down any other aircraft...in other words, a felony with a very long prison term in the offing.

It’s either too good or has obvious errors, like in this case cars parked on the lawn in front of the porch, no porch pirate would do that.

Don't believe most video clips straight away.


Some real. Some staged. Some AI.

An other clue : when the boxes explode, they blew a cloud of colored dust, but strangely, the thieves come back covered with paint-like goo. I bet that an explosion powerful enough to transform a thick liquid paint in a fog wouldn't allow the thieves to walk away unscattered, if at all.

I agree that would be so satisfying if it was real.
The legal issues from an explosive/exploding device were at the basis of the first brain storming when the "glitter bomb man" began to design his own porch thief trap.
