    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

      Foreign adversaries already had Trump installed. Why would they need to go through extra work.

      Hell - the new Director of Intelligence is a Russian asset.

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

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

          Probably.

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

    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.

    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.

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

      When Q-Anon spreads 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.

    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.

    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

        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.

            That’s assuming I actually look like a threat, rather than someone infatuated with the weird robot dog.

            It’s a golf park full of rich old people. I bet the dog-hecklers will come dozens per hour.

              You must be white or not from the US. The police in the US are taught to shoot first. Sometimes they get asked questions later.
