  Even if you needed something mobile, it’s not like datacenters are exactly complex landscapes.

    They don’t need something mobile. They can stick 1000 cameras up for the cost of one of these and have less up keep.

      I was thinking the same thing. For surveillance, can’t they just use the iconic Camera on Wall. Or if they want to get really advanced with the surrounding premises: Camera on Pole.

        Camera on pole can’t “remove” problems as quickly

      And use AI to actually monitor the thousand cameras. Ask me how I know.

      With enough kinetic energy, anything’s mobile.

      And no recharging time.

    They’re getting all these dystopian nightmare ideas from video games and scifi. People have proven you can sneak past these things inside of a cardboard box.

    They are BEGGING for some metal gear carnage.

      I wonder how many robot duds will be stolen per year? Lots of neat parts in them if you know some electronics.

        Someone will be posting about a factory reset button within a year.

    If your datacenter is mobile, you’ve really fucked up!

  It’s almost like they need something mobile they can add weaponry to that could chase and hunt down security threats…

  Data centers and wasting massive amounts of resources. Name a more iconic duo.

  You know the video part is training data for autonomous weapons right? Like sure if all you want to do is video surveillance this is overkill, but maybe this is about more than surveillance?

  oh they’ll figure it out real quick when these bots get pwned and become malware vectors against the data centers they’re ‘protecting’

  It’s about them not rebelling their evil overlords (except if they get hacked).

  The super-rich ‘preppers’ planning to save themselves from the apocalypse

    I still don’t understand them not just making a tribe of loved equals for a bunker. Power rots the mind and soul

  1500 camera alternative (motion detection monitoring) seems reasonable enough. The black mirror machine gun turret is needed for marketing/mission improvement.
