Technology

Hear me out : Cameras.

I may be ignorant, but from my experience Boston Dynamics is cool and if they were able to sell these things to the AI guys good for them!

I know these robots are used to do maintenance vhecks on big factories, where a dude can tell it to walk to a valve to look at it through a camera, and i think thats fine.

Instead of having 50 cameras you have one walking one.

What's the *scratching arm* copper content of these fellas?

These systems are able to navigate complex landscapes on their own, alert authorities about security threats, and can provide around-the-clock video surveillance.

If only there was a cheaper way to provide around-the-clock video surveillance. Alas, we don't have the technology.

Black Mirror, here we come.

guarding some of the country's biggest data centers

The country, ah yes the only place that exists on the internet, the almighty one powerful country to rule them all. THE. COUNTRY.

So a robot you can kick over is better than dogs with actual teeth? Its a good thing tech bros are dumb as fuck.

So steal the robot dogs?

Probably get about two or three lbs of copper out of the motors alone. Still not worth the gas unless you're going to fill up the back of your truck with em though.

Would be funny to hear about a kid with a slingshot or something taking these out.

Ah, lovely. I see that one Black Mirror episode is taking another step toward being reality.

People with good intentions should not hesitate to blast a robot. Just sayin'.

One step closer to a Horizon Zero Dawn future. Just let me live long enough to see the dinobots.

So if we raid a data center, besides RAM we get free robot dogs? Sweet.

Imagine destroying those robots as a hobby just to make the big tech lose money

Hunting without killing animals 👌

Anything to not hire people uh

the coolest thing about these dogs? you can break them with a directional wireless jamming device.

also known as a .308 Winchester.

SMASH THE CLANKERS ! Any solid metal rod will do ! Get out there and smash those sorry imitations of "dogs" to pieces !

Dumbest people in charge. Actual dogs are way cheaper. And better at what they do.

Are they fireproof?

Honestly the cooling system used is the only thing that anyone needs to hit to take an entire data center down.

Without cooling, everything would melt.

Could be that they all use the same default password - easily searchable if true because it’s probably pinging out asking for connections.

Also massive supply chain attack surface due to the 3rd party dependencies.

If someone were to get within WiFi range they could cause a lot of damage to their infrastructure by attacking the supply chain.

It’s really too bad Claude code identified all those 3rd party security holes opening up these data centers to all these cyber threats.

do these do any image analysis? what happens when you hold a mirror to them lol

I wonder how far one of these would fly if it wandered onto a road and got hammered by a semi doing 55mph.

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.

At $300,000 a pop, being a dog catcher has never been more lucrative.

I mean, an EMP would fuck up both 🤷‍♂️
