This is utterly terrifying. What can we ordinary people do to protect ourselves from this stuff?

This wiki says they use smartphone cameras https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorgon_Stare#Phase_two

Anyone want to build a drone-seeking high-powered-laser-pointer turret to dazzle them?

I don't really think this would count as a solution, but it is an interesting technical challenge.

I own a bunch of small, very powerful lasers (intended for engraving) that would have a high chance of not just dazzling a camera, but permanently damaging it. I wonder how feasible it would be to build a system that can physically locate a moving drone with enough accuracy. Maybe by tracking its RF signals?

Hmm, this might be a fun project, purely for intellectual purposes. I also own a bunch of RC aircraft that I could use as targets...
