Comment on Robots will solve wealth inequality, they say

Remember cow tipping? That possibly urban myth about farmer’s kids pushing over sleeping cows? I was just thinking about that for some reason. Seems like good viral video content, I mean if it were true.

Probably one of the reasons you see these little robots far more often in the online shitpost section than the real world.

NYT had a whole article about stochastic violence aimed at robots

archive.is/6s5k6

A hitchhiking robot was beheaded in Philadelphia. A security robot was punched to the ground in Silicon Valley. Another security bot, in San Francisco, was covered in a tarp and smeared with barbecue sauce.

…

Dozens of vigilantes have thrown rocks at driverless cars in Arizona, for example, and incident reports from San Francisco suggest that human drivers are intentionally crashing into driverless cars.

  The more we do this, the more their tech bro owners will push for allowing these things to defend themselves. Image that little bot in OP’s pic armed with a taser.

    A taser can be defeated with cotton and leather layering. Unless they’re willing to strap a viable arc weilder to one then there are ways around that, if they do strap an arc weilder to one then free arc weilder.

    I can’t wait to walk around daily in my Skyrim armor so I can level up on the pizza delivery bots.

    I’ve had cats you can’t defeat with a squirt gun.
    
    Maybe we can get the cats to attack the robots.
