What about crowding a datacenter with the goal of burning it down? It creates no values anyways.

wait really? i can whip up a faraday cage in a van and the supplies to disable one of those are under a hundred. looks like we found us a new 300k puppy breeder!

Back in the olden times we used to have these things has a stroke called "Alarms." Now, these "Alarms." would alert people when their place was being robbed in old timey times. They cost an afternoon and a couple thousand to set up and would last 20+ years or so. A determined mildly technical person using Youtube could save on the labor and install it themselves.

There is only one solution here. One. Mila Jojovich from Resident Evil. She's dealt with worse.

So I'm not as caught up in the current state of robotics as I'd like... The article talks about these being used to patrol, do safety inspections, and the like.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to replace each of these with a dozen quadrocopter drones?

It's psychological in nature, reminder a lot of rich pissants style themselves as futurists.

They already had this tech back in 1979.
