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.

These are not good boys

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

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.

I'm sure the secret service is absolutely thrilled.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 minutes ago

Probably.

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 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] 43 points 5 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] 7 points 2 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Probably because Trump hates real dogs.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

I think the bronzer has a bad effect on them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] [email protected] 36 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Metalhead? I really didn't get the twist of it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Does it need a twist? They accurately warned us about exactly what US fascists are building to protect their private bunkers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

But it was

Tap for spoilerTeddy bears or something if I remember

Is the twist that they represent hope which is something they guard?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

It was probably just "goods" in general. A warehouse of various goods. And this was one innocent example

Oh, those are just to stop the kids escaping from the paedodungeon.

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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

And What’s stopping them from eating the robots? I mean someone ate an entire plane

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Ahhh another Michel Lotito connoisseur!

So they have a coffee brewer on their back but you cannot pet? Please make sense.

[–] [email protected] 110 points 15 hours ago

you have 20 seconds to comply

[–] [email protected] 75 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

But despite their many impressive features, the devices can be taken down.

“You just have to spray it with Aqua Net hairspray in its ‘face’,” Cummings said. “And that would be enough to stop the cameras from working correctly.”

FYI

[–] [email protected] 43 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Definitely don't Google "2K spray paint" because it's impossible to remove and you can seriously damage surveillance devices with it, like cameras and stuff I dunno

Small Soldiers also taught us how to turn an electric pole transformer into an improvised EMP device. That turns the dogs off.
