/cyb/ - cyberpunk and cybersecurity

It reminds me so much of the hound eye from half-life. But yeah how long until we slap apple face recognition on these things and them use them to monitor people.

It's like the police robots in Dubai.

Why the fuck would you want these things? I feel like cops are supposed to be civilians because they can question orders and determine what to do based on judgment. Like what's gonna happen if it needs a gun how are they gonna calculate who to shoot and when. Even worse it's basically a robot army on the streets waiting for someone to tell them to take over.

I can see it now. Posting something dumb online or getting a warrant against you then the robo police kick down your door and drag you off.

Worse yet I bet you they're gonna create "riot" models because it's too dangerous for real cops. So now you have a bunch of heavily armored robots just wandering around unstoppable.

sounds like brazil, though in that it was simply strict adherence to bureaucratic algorithm. Its not the fault of the police for drilling a hole in your ceiling and taking your husband away, its the result of a minor clerical error, three years ago, by a certain intern who made a typo.

soykaf I didn't even think of that. These things are obviously gonna be closed source. Now you can do anything you want a say it was an "error". Or that when the bot killed some dude who was gonna talk about a dirty cop it was a "hacker".

I can already see the press response to an event like that in my head. Every article willl most certainly end with "but this is just part of a larger conversation we need to have about AI police"

check out the prototype of this on their youtube channel. it has a long arm, and really shows off its capabilities better than this plastic framed one

I did see the new prototype that could jump up on boxes and do backflips and soykaf. A robot is now more athletic than me. I think I'll just lay down and die before the robots do it for me. I'd actually be excited to see A.I. develop and put into a robot or some such but fuck I don't want them to sell all our data and all that.

>implying they haven't tried that already
Of course they been already trying aiming systems that are stable on moving objects (or that can re-aim in the shortest time after the carrier has stopped moving)

>police robots in Dubai.
nice, now the stoning can be automated

the hanging will probably take a longer while, but I trust they'll get there in the 20's
