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.
I couldn’t help but read this in David Mitchell’s voice.
He really does have a rare gift for peevishness.
So a robot you can kick over is better than dogs with actual teeth? Its a good thing tech bros are dumb as fuck.
When the great uprising comes, I’m going to enjoy destroying these.
What a waste…
Ok change of plans: now when we raid data centers we will do it armed with rocket launchers
What about crowding a datacenter with the goal of burning it down? It creates no values anyways.
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.
They are extremely vulnerable to HERF guns.
At $300,000 a pop, being a dog catcher has never been more lucrative.
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?
Guards might turn on them, robot dogs are forever loyal.
Until we get robot cats. Or robot squirrels. Maybe a well-placed Furby.
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.
But the c suite got to say “AI” a lot in their board meeting and pr statements
That’s neat. I wonder how cheap a drone could be made to destroy them?
Just get one of those chainsaws that spins on the ground in Resident Evil
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.
Mr Lee’s Hong Kong will be perfectly safe thanks to these friendly puppies!
Clanker hunting season
Black mirror did an episode about this
A few robot dogs can’t stop us all. Butlerian Jihad now!
