So who called the police? Also the supposed freaked out last stayed around to yell and rant at the robot. Id you’re really scared you’d leave.
Fight and flight are both valid and common fear responses.
What is the charge, eating a meal? A succulent human meal?

Towin Mak, a representative from the educator center that owned the robot, explained to TDM that the incident happened as the robot was leaving the area. The woman stopped in the middle of the walkway to check her phone, and because the robot couldn’t get around, it simply waited behind her, he claimed. That’s when she noticed the robot with its lights on, startling her, given the late hour.
If I discovered a robot standing silently behind me on the street, I would also have a lil’ freakout
My freakout would be “oh, this is so cool!”
Sounds like it’s a glorified Marty from the grocery store. Just grumble and go around it. Also, pay attention.
If you get a chance, play Robo Recall on VR. Scared thr shit out of me.
A truly formative VR experience.
If it resists, will they throw it to the ground and keep smashing it with a baton until they can get the arms into handcuffs?
No, because it’s the property of a business.
No because Robots cant pay fines.
Only if it’s brown.
I would definitely be talking about the safety of these humanoid robots operating in public spaces. Like, I’m not worried it’s gonna turn evil and be like “KILL. ALL. HUMANS!” but like, the ones I’ve seen are pretty fucking janky and could potentially bug out and start flailing around and hurt someone unintentionally.

Wouldnt tasering him be fatal?
Probably just juice him into an unstoppable killing rage.
I guess since Robots feel no pain the police has no joy in using violence anyways 😔
