this is the first cyberpunk future thing i've seen that was just sort of charming instead of horrifying

Leave the drug dog robo alone you pigs anprim-pat

I was gonna say it would be Uber expensive to lose a drug dog. But if you're doing good business you could get something like that for a price on the order of $1600+the price of whatever you're delivering. Call it a $2k loss for the cost of doing business?

Trying to do drug prohibition is a losing game anyway. This would be the field work equivalent of auditing paperwork. Your boss DGAF, the drug dealer DGAF, the client DGAF, and the public probably likes looking at you less than they like seeing the drug dog run around. Grim.

2k is cheap compared to you or whoever you could coerce into transporting for you going to prison tho... but does that mean they're taking jobs

"Taking jobs" is surely layered with a ton of nuance and sophistication when you're talking about the coercive nature of mafia/illegal work in the context of poverty. I can guarantee you if we looked up the question we'd come away going "kind of, but it's weird, gross, and America's fault"

~~also lost the cost of the inventory~~

I called it $400 for that 2k figure

ah sorry, I failed to read closely enough.

I was surprised the story didn't end with, "The robot went into defense mode and a grenade launcher rotated out from the underside of its body and started firing".

stalin-smokin Dude what if it was that black mirror episode metalhead but it pothead?

The year is 2031 and half your unit just got taken out by drones and just now the drug robot arrived. You’re not sure if it’s funding your guys or the enemy but fuck it.

Using a bunch of these to drive down property rates by convincing everyone the ultimate cyberdruglord lives there but then that guy kitted out for 40-50 feral hogs is there and it’s the ultimate libertarian showdown between a gun fudd and a fleet of amoral machines serving the market.

Why not use a RC car or pigeons? That has been available for decades, and is a lot cheaper.

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 3 days ago

the cool factor :)

not doing dead drops in the year of our lord 2026

anybody who expected AI slop fascism with design flaw maximizing electric trucks instead of this may be incredibly prescient, but also doesn't know shit about cyberpunk
