    Wouldn’t it be cheaper to pay vastly more versatile human guards a decent wage to guard those or more of those instead of those robots?

      Pay a person?? Give a real human being money?!?

      These people would rather burn a million dollars in front of a homeless person than give that person $1,000. It’s extra cruel when you realize that society would make that $1,000 back and then some if it were to help that person escape their poverty cycle.

          It’s only a matter of time till “birds aren’t real” isn’t satire. I for one welcome our new robot overlords

      Basically yea, you’re paying a guard at most 45k a year in most places. I highly doubt these fucking things will last 4 years without major maintenance which will probably cost a month or two of a guards wages. So long term it costs far more compared to wages, but when you factor in labour laws and insurance it’s probably still cheaper to just hire people.
