I imagine someone puts an autonomous mosquito-zapping laser (to fight malaria) on a drone.

In that scenario, most people who are surprised to meet one in action, and many who hear of it, cannot help but wonder "how long till we're the mosquitoes?"

That'd be a smart move to secure some MIRI funding...

Besides just being freaking awesome. Imagine that floating around the backyard barbecue. Pew. Pew. Pew.
