    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.

    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

    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.

      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.

    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.

      Wouldn’t be surprised if it was named after the game. These guys like to name their companies nerdy sinister names on purpose. Like Palantir

    But despite their many impressive features, the devices can be taken down.

    “You just have to spray it with Aqua Net hairspray in its ‘face’,” Cummings said. “And that would be enough to stop the cameras from working correctly.”

      Definitely don’t Google “2K spray paint” because it’s impossible to remove and you can seriously damage surveillance devices with it, like cameras and stuff I dunno

        Small Soldiers also taught us how to turn an electric pole transformer into an improvised EMP device. That turns the dogs off.
