Well here we are, with all the signs of everything going as badly as possible fully present. Goddamn evil robot sentries guarding the fascist dictator-wannabe's personal luxury habitat. At least down there, if one of those things malfunctions and hurts somebody it would have to be one of the worst people around.

This is certainly not the future I dreamed of as a child and young man.

will it also say "move along citizen there is nothing to pet here" in a male robot voice?

[–] etchinghillside@reddthat.com 1 points 35 minutes ago

It’s a golf coarse… it’d be perfect for the simplicity of wheels.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 9 points 1 hour ago

Probably because Trump hates real dogs.

This is one of my favorite Black Mirror episodes. God help us.

Metalhead? I really didn't get the twist of it.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Does it need a twist? They accurately warned us about exactly what US fascists are building to protect their private bunkers.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

But it was

Tap for spoilerTeddy bears or something if I remember

Is the twist that they represent hope which is something they guard?

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 1 hour ago

It was probably just "goods" in general. A warehouse of various goods. And this was one innocent example

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 54 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, those are just to stop the kids escaping from the paedodungeon.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 hours ago

So they have a coffee brewer on their back but you cannot pet? Please make sense.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 133 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Because they're eating the dogs, the people that stay there, they're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live around there, and this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame.

[–] Sorse@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 6 hours ago

And What’s stopping them from eating the robots? I mean someone ate an entire plane

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago

They fucking won.

Ron Williams, a former Secret Service agent who is now CEO of the security and risk management firm Talon Companies

Ah life really does imitate art

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 27 points 8 hours ago

Wouldn't be surprised if it was named after the game. These guys like to name their companies nerdy sinister names on purpose. Like Palantir

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 67 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

But despite their many impressive features, the devices can be taken down.

“You just have to spray it with Aqua Net hairspray in its ‘face’,” Cummings said. “And that would be enough to stop the cameras from working correctly.”

FYI

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 37 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Definitely don't Google "2K spray paint" because it's impossible to remove and you can seriously damage surveillance devices with it, like cameras and stuff I dunno

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

Small Soldiers also taught us how to turn an electric pole transformer into an improvised EMP device. That turns the dogs off.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 100 points 11 hours ago

you have 20 seconds to comply

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 32 points 9 hours ago

Because real dogs refuse the job.

[–] 7fb2adfb45bafcc01c80@lemmy.world 27 points 9 hours ago

I feel an urge to go play Horizon Zero Dawn now.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 65 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Because time travellers keep appearing with guns?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 14 points 11 hours ago

If they appeared with guns, wouldn't the robodogs also be strapped?

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Shitty time travelers and their stormtrooper aim.

Somebody definitely fucked up the timeline and they send these untrained time-travellers to try and fix it (and failed miserably).

Now we get Black Mirror robot dogs.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 8 hours ago

One would think it would be easy to get T.E.L.L.s nowadays and just send one after another

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 54 points 12 hours ago

Shitty ass movie life

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

There's always a place for a happy little accident.
