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.

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.

Coo at them. Pet them. Call them a good doggie. Drop a treat on them, all in defiance.

That's a unique approach to suicide-by-cop

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.

Isn't this a perfect foreign adversary opportunity for spying on U.S. political figures?

Just integrate your own robot dog, or compromise an existing one. And surveillance away.

Level 3000 hack: compromise security with drone fleas that jump onto drone dogs.

Level 9000 hack: join the pack with a drone attack dog.

I'm sure the secret service is absolutely thrilled.

I'm sure the secret service is absolutely ~~thrilled~~ complicit with his horseshit

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

Probably.

I have zero faith in our institutions. They'll quietly do their jobs until the dictator has them purged.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 hours ago

I'd like to pet it with a .50 cal.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

These are not good boys

[–] [email protected] 49 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Well here we are, with all the signs of everything going as badly as possible fully present. Goddamn evil robot sentries guarding the fascist dictator-wannabe's personal luxury habitat. At least down there, if one of those things malfunctions and hurts somebody it would have to be one of the worst people around.

This is certainly not the future I dreamed of as a child and young man.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 hours ago

The adults sold us a future they were determined to destroy before it could ever come to fruition.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

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.

This is how you start the Great Robot War.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

will it also say "move along citizen there is nothing to pet here" in a male robot voice?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

It can, but it comes out more like "ROOVE ARONG RITIZEN!"

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Probably because Trump hates real dogs.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

I think the bronzer has a bad effect on them.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 12 hours ago (5 children)

This is one of my favorite Black Mirror episodes. God help us.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

The moment when you seem them and suddenly everything turns black & white. Oh no.

Because they're eating the dogs, the people that stay there, they're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live around there, and this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame.

It’s a golf coarse… it’d be perfect for the simplicity of wheels.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

They're robots, probably don't "rough"
