I feel an urge to go play Horizon Zero Dawn now.
You just reminded me I need to pick that back up.
They’re guard dogs
Because musk is an ignorant child redditor…that is why.
Boston Dynamics isn’t a musk company
That is correct and not relevant. Being an ignorant twit that is pretty much the first lady and has likely always wanted robot guard dogs, and so suggested them to trump…is kinda on brand though.
Because time travellers keep appearing with guns?
If they appeared with guns, wouldn’t the robodogs also be strapped?
If not fren, why fren shaped
It looks like a fun and fulfilling thing to hit with my car.
Those little fuckers creeped me out ever since the black mirror episode when they were turned into automated murder dogs
I’d like to pet it with a .50 cal.
Keep the proles out.
The body is Rottweiler-sized, segmented into overlapping hard plates like those of a rhinoceros. The legs are long, curled way up to deliver power, like a cheetah’s. It must be the tail that makes people refer to it as a Rat Thing, because that’s the only ratlike part - incredibly long and flexible.
The grass under the Rat Thing is beginning to smoke.
“Careful. Supposedly they have really nasty isotopes inside,” Hiro says behind her… “A radioactive substance that makes heat. That’s its energy source.”
“How do you turn it off?”
“You don’t. It keeps making heat until it melts.”
The body converges to a sharp nose. In the front it bends down sharply, and there is a black canopy, raked sharply like the windshield of a fighter plane. If the Rat Thing has eyes, this is where it looks out.
As part of Mr. Lee’s good neighbor policy, all Rat Things are programmed never to break the sound barrier in a populated area. But Fido’s in too much of a hurry to worry about the good neighbor policy. Jack the sound barrier. Bring the noise.
Good book, Snow Crash
Because real dogs refuse the job.
Because not spend $10,000 on $1,000 worth of security camera system instead of helping poor people. Rich bastards.
try 75,000 dollars
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.
There are demonstrations (or of ATLAS I forgot) that shows them keep straight after hard kicks and such. Wont work
What about an angle grinder?
Plasma cutter
will it also say “move along citizen there is nothing to pet here” in a male robot voice?
It can, but it comes out more like “ROOVE ARONG RITIZEN!”
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.
They fucking won.
And What’s stopping them from eating the robots? I mean someone ate an entire plane
Ahhh another Michel Lotito connoisseur!
This wikipedia page is true gold lol:
Lotito holds the record for the ‘strangest diet’ in the Guinness Book of Records. He was awarded a brass plaque by the publishers to commemorate his abilities. He ate his award.[3]
Shitty ass movie life
oh cool/good
