ai6yr,

Yes, yes, that's a GREAT idea, let's arm robot dogs with flame throwers! Great idea! (they are pitching this for prescribed fire burning for wildfire prevention and "snow and ice removal from driveways"... at least until they find a military buyer, I am sure). https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/company-unveil-robot-dog-companion-with-flamethrower-attached/vi-AA1nvoEb

ai6yr,

They are are pitching this for "wildlife control or ice removal"?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U83BfU1phCw

@ai6yr 🙄 sheesh.

First you're against a tank like "wildfire fighting" vehicle that couldn't handle the slightest train bumps, now you're against flame throwing robotic dogs...

Obviously you hate technology and WANT humanity to burn down.

ai6yr,

@phpete 😂

@ai6yr this is proper 'Torment Nexus' stuff.
Flame-throwing robot dogs, like something out of a comic book.

What could go wrong?

@ai6yr Kick it over and it'll torch itself! 😎

ai6yr,

@heretical_i It may just accidentally torch itself and everyone else within the vicinity, to be fair.

@ai6yr in a society run by drones, a dictator needs 100x fewer people to control it: they just need armed henchmen in the drone operator room who can easily control the unarmed drone operators that control the armed drones far away.

@ai6yr melting snow with fire is extremely inefficient. No way this gets hot enough for long enough to be useful for that application.

@ai6yr Fine, but do I have a constitutional right to own one or do I need to be well-regulated first?

ai6yr,

@mazz Well, the robot doesn't have a uterus so doesn't need to be regulated /s
