    If you encounter one of these, absolutely don’t pet it. Instead, kick it. Run over it. Perhaps, light that little robot fucker on fire. But definitely don’t pet it.

    This is such a shame, I mean we could be putting those bots to good use.

    Can I get a rule 34 on these robots?

    While the robotic dog seen at Mar-a-Lago is not armed, she says competitors appear to be experimenting with models that are.

    “People are trying to weaponise these dogs,” Cummings adds, citing a Chinese model with an attached rifle which she learned about at a robotics meeting this week.

        The ones at Mar-A-Lago are unarmed.

        My approach to the armed ones, particularly the TASER-equipped ones used by some US law enforcement departments, would be very different.

          They are also not autonomous. They have armed secret service agents very nearby. If the sensors on the dog alert them, trigger happy armed guards will come.

    All these AI detection sentry robots are all trained on the same AI datasets. Just wear a black see-through hood over your face with a stop sign on your front and back and they’ll ignore you and probably stop walking when near you. You can waltz right in.

    can you just approach them and turn them over so they cant get up themselves anymore, would be some fun activism?

    Or is that a crime already in such a free country

      You can’t really keep them from getting back up, they won’t stay on their sides perfectly balanced because of the curves on their legs. Even so they could “kick” their legs to push them to be able to get back up.

      Just in case you’re wondering in the future if that will work.

    Funny and sad. Society so divided, so polarized, cemented bipartisan - they can’t have candidate above divisions.

      When Q-Anon speads baseless pedophile ring accusations it’s ridiculed but apparently doing the exact same thing for their side is fair game. Great display of double standards yet again.

        Trump is appointing a pedo to be Attorney General.

        Trump is a pedo.

        One is a lie is based on projection and the other is pointing out that pedos are pedos.
