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

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

"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”

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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

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.
