            It’s the loophole.

          Okay, that was on me.

          What kind of hardware systems will these robots carry? Will those be weaponized or just equipped with surveillance and alarm suites?

      But you’re cool with all the robot advancements in China who are taking labor jobs?

          I’m asking you specifically to compare your opinion of the recent robot production in China to this. Robots doing people’s jobs in manual labor.

          I had a conversation with Yogthos about this and he was 1000% in favor of robots and AI taking over the jobs of humans. And since he’s a very very vocal member of your community, I’m curious how… aligned… all of you are.

    We all know those “cute” Boston Dynamics robots are going to be murdering people eventually, let’s face it.

    Let’s just nip this in the bud right now. There is nothing dog about these rattle droids.

    For operators managing multimillion-dollar server farms, the economics are compelling: a single human guard can cost around $150,000 per year, factoring in benefits and shifts. Robots, by contrast, draw power rather than paychecks.

    They also require maintenance and have a 30% duty cycle.

    No one is going to hesitate to blast a robot, even an actual dog would have a better chance against a determined attacker.
