“Bird” will change to “union” soon

And then it won’t know the difference between a human and a regular street-clothed person and it will be “kill all humans”

Promise??

Ah gee, I hope so.

Did they have to make it look just like the one in Black Mirror?

CuttingBoard@sopuli.xyz on 31 Mar 2024 22:22 collapse

That is just the form factor for quadraped robots now. Boston Dynamics had them before black mirror.

I know how that word is meant to be pronounced, but it is very difficult not to think the other.

Linkerbaan@lemmy.world on 31 Mar 2024 21:49 next collapse

That’s just a Spot robot from Boston Dynamics with a coat of paint.

There should be a word for the frustration of seeing the very obvious inevitability, but being unable to do anything about it.

Big sad

Giving more precedence that birds aren’t real. Gotta fight tech with tech! 😉

TSA also has a limbless dog-sized robot nose at the security checkpoints.

Damn, things must be getting pretty bleak if even birds are striking and we’re using headless robot dogs to union-bust them…!

xePBMg9@lemmynsfw.com on 01 Apr 2024 01:25 next collapse

I am predicting less bird strikes and more headless, dog-sized robot strikes.

We know how this might end thanks to Black Mirror.
