Yay I can hardly wait for hordes of these things owned by governments and corporations to be armed and active around the globe!

[–] Untamed_Star@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 24 minutes ago

I mean at least this will replace forcing people to kill eachother. right? RIGHT?

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

VIbes of the 7 foot tall 7/11 stocking robot.

Oh boy! I get two new nightmare demons today!

what the fuck this is on the offical website it can't get any more threatening than this

[–] M137@lemmy.today 1 points 18 minutes ago

I'm pretty sure they know exactly what they're doing.

[–] Untamed_Star@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 34 minutes ago

I would run for my life.

ಠ_ಠ

spoiler( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 8 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah it needs a fleshlight mount on the backside and I'll take it to a cliff where it has no choice but to push back.

[–] fatcat@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Well SatansMaggotyCumFart, you have clearly thought about this quite in detail!

Honestly the only surprising part here is that you haven't.

[–] PrimeErective@startrek.website 4 points 2 hours ago

Oh good, you can put chainsaws in the wrist holes

[–] Hackworth@piefed.ca 23 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

It even has a fucking CHAINSAW attachment ffs! 🤦🏻

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

jfc, could they make it any more fucking ominous?

Plus, the whole "you can easily disable it by puncturing the lung-analog air tank in its torso with a weapon or projectile" and "the horns are to slow it down moving through doorways" bits. What exactly are you trying to design against again because that sounds like a creature, or at the very least something autonomous, not a remote operated robot.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (2 children)

Surely this is satire, right?

[–] Untamed_Star@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 28 minutes ago

No, it is satyress.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 hours ago

Possible, but I feel like a lot of effort went in for it to only be satire. No obvious AI images, multiple views of the thing including close up of the "hand" and they're all consistent. Could be made as an art sculpture and this is the satirical product page, maybe.

Looks like all the current news coverage of it is reacting as if it's real/credible as well.

"You can stop it with any handgun"

sorry, dark mode users

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 12 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Why does it need four legs??? Why centaur??? Can we not???

[–] dwemthy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You didn't ask, but the horns are so it can't fit through the door (and kill you)

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 2 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

It doesn’t know how to duck?

[–] M137@lemmy.today 1 points 14 minutes ago

Of course it doesn't know how to duck. It's a centaur, not a duck.

[–] Untamed_Star@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 26 minutes ago

No no, you don't undestand, it's just to slow it down.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 15 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Two-legged walk cycles are very complicated and unstable.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Wheels work great for indoor spaces, roads, tracks etc.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Well, this isn't limited to indoor spaces, then.

[–] M137@lemmy.today 1 points 16 minutes ago

Because it needs to be able to run after you no matter the terrain.

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Reminds me of back in the day when I worked in various data centers that had Man-traps for controlling access. I could see them being upgraded to release one of these on you if you failed to properly authenticate when inside one.

[–] PlzGibHugs@piefed.ca 9 points 4 hours ago

That's not a centaur, thats an abomination.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Like, once you get over the terror of the very real concern that this could be used against you to injure you, it's actually pretty cool.

I mean, imagine if you owned it, you could ride it to work, and it could use its arms to carry weapons to attack other bad centaur riders on your way into the office.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Road rage incidents become jousting matches

[–] Pissmidget@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Like something out of The Alchemy Wars...
