But Boston Dynamics has ethics and won't do business with ICE, right? Right??

These are the robot dogs with the big red button on them you can press and they turn off.

Some moronic swat team used it recently and then lost it because the barricaded suspect kicked the button.

It's almost like Congress shouldn't have given a bunch of low IQ fascists a blank fucking check.

So these robots assist with breaking in to private homes in violation of the constitution? Because it doesn't count if a human doesn't break in first?

We need to normalize absolutely wrecking these robots in public.

I remember that Black Mirror episode.

A million dollars worth? So four?

If you think this is all for immigration enforcement, you haven't been paying attention.

My esteem for Boston Dynamics just went into the toilet. They know exactly what ICE is. What a way to end 15 years of innovation and admiration.

Just curious, where is the battery located on these things? Perhaps a nice, spring loaded puncturing device could get through the chassis and puncture the battery

Seriously, who the fuck posts paywalled shit anymore? Especially from places like 404 where neither u-block nor reader mode gets around it.

So, Black Mirror is literally just the real life “Don’t Invent The Torment Nexus” meme.

I thought these super creepy gun mount ready robots were built to help blind people or something? Who saw this sort of abuse coming??

Fahrenheit 451 entered the chat.

"Millions"? That's about 20 dogs.

Time to practice my bolas throw I guess.

1 Mill? How many is that, 4 or 5? ICE personnel have never demonstrated themselves to be the sharpest knives in the drawer. Are they even going to be able make any use of them?

What's the robot dog going to do? I don't think it's very strong and I'm reasonably confident that I can outwit it by going around the corner.

Even Boston dynamics really only advertises it for things like inspections of hazardous areas or remote locations. What's it going to do carry their lunch?

Humanity sees evil and continues to do nothing about it. No wonder God stays in heaven. Devil has won.

I wonder how long until someone hacks one and goes on a murder-robot rampage. . ?
