This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
There is an episode about robot dogs in Black Mirror...
At this stage, I am willing to go to Mars. There is less chance of techbro oligarchs wanting to destroy the world and killer robot dogs wanting to kill us. Matt Damon has also provided us with a basic manual on how to survive Mars.
JFC, Black Mirror was supposed to be a warning, not an inspiration. How long until they are given weapons?
a certain megamaniacal administration that will not be named has been turning the screws on AI companies that will also not be named, with the express purpose of combining robots like these with AI and weaponry, to create autonomous anti-personnel robots.

300,000 but they probably live a few years and see better than a human. this doesn't surprise me at all
Also, no need for security checks and so on. There is a lot of trust involved as well.
Ok change of plans: now when we raid data centers we will do it armed with rocket launchers
Do it armed with overpowered flashlights and broom handles. Those dogs are dogshit.
I'm pretty sure they got the idea from Black Mirror...
That's neat. I wonder how cheap a drone could be made to destroy them?
New planet Earth. DA voiceover, as the camera fades in and pans over warehouses: "Data. The source of life for the largest and fastest growing ecosystem on the planet. At dawn, this robot dog patrols it's territory through the server racks of eastern Pennsylvania, hoping to survive another day, and protect it's herd. On the horizon, the buzzing of a Luddite insurgent groups' EMP drone flock approaches..."
When the great uprising comes, I'm going to enjoy destroying these.
I wonder how long it will take them to just start generating the surveillance footage.
But can they be hacked to hump their master’s legs???
What a waste...
You can always try to pull the battery. If that doesn't work maybe a taser to short it out.
