That's neat. I wonder how cheap a drone could be made to destroy them?

Just bring a portable power pack like it's a steak and toss it to keep them occupied. They're starving and will leave you alone. They only charge them up to 80% to keep them extra mean.
Clanker hunting season
Mr Lee's Hong Kong will be perfectly safe thanks to these friendly puppies!
Hunting without killing animals 👌
Naw, they'll get legislation passed that carves our extra protections for their robot guard dogs.
Considering these companies own the legislative process, and the government formed and ran by the people no longer serves the people, and is instead a funnel for class traitors to enforce the will of the Epstein class on all of us.

A few robot dogs can't stop us all. Butlerian Jihad now!
Anything to not hire people uh
Thats the funny part. There are human operators on stand by.
The scary part is that we really will be fighting robots for water...
Take comfort in knowing that the fight against robots for water will be short. Very, very short.
Yes. They can precision kill a single person at a busy cafe remotely and have heat vision and can work nearly seamlessly in swarms. Very short indeed
Nah, they are nowhere near as good as the movies, nor are the villains all that smart.
I mean, ideally all dangerous jobs should be replaced by machines wherever possible.
I'm pretty sure they got the idea from Black Mirror...
wait really? i can whip up a faraday cage in a van and the supplies to disable one of those are under a hundred. looks like we found us a new 300k puppy breeder!
Black mirror did an episode about this
Back in the olden times we used to have these things has a stroke called "Alarms." Now, these "Alarms." would alert people when their place was being robbed in old timey times. They cost an afternoon and a couple thousand to set up and would last 20+ years or so. A determined mildly technical person using Youtube could save on the labor and install it themselves.
Dumbest people in charge. Actual dogs are way cheaper. And better at what they do.
But:
- That won't get you millions increase in investor funding, which also lets you increase your pay-cheque
- You need to buy them from actual dog trainers, which are people and will eventually stop selling to you once you either become too evil for them or you murder them
- They are a supply chain risk as once you eventually piss off the dog trainer by 4x-ing his electricity bills and getting your AI to tell the govt. to shoot his family, he can then bypass the dogs using his smell, because they would be familiar with him.
Replace dog trainer with dog robot maintainer.

There is only one solution here. One. Mila Jojovich from Resident Evil. She's dealt with worse.
You mean being married to Luc Besson?
So is there a resale value on these? And what kind of serial number system are they using?
Remove the RAM from it and sell it to the datacenter at a premium.
Or just value in using their tech against them, put some ransomware in the thing and send it back to infect all the others, fucking profit or just be a good person and permanently disable them all
But can they be hacked to hump their master’s legs???
So if we raid a data center, besides RAM we get free robot dogs? Sweet.
So when one of these things eventually kill someone, who is held responsible?
How could that possibly happen in this case?
If you had read the article, or even just looked at the picture, you'd see that this is a security camera that walks.
Until they finally taste human flesh.
