the thing abt adams is that hes weird as fuck but hes weird in consistently surprising ways. I could never guess he'd go on a tangent abt hustle culture at a holocaust memorial. who could predict him making heart hands with a handless cop bot. his strangeness has no precedent

Even though they could have designed it in any shape, they still made it look like a thumb-cop

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

immediately thought the same thing

It's like if you took a thumb-cop and turned it into an Olympic games mascot via some AI art thing.

no sharp corners, no grabbable handholds

I could still take it

They haven't made a shape of pig I couldn't make squeal yet

Cop phrenology transcends mere humanity, even cop bots look like they eat nothing but fast food slop and think cardio is something that happens to other people

Hope its affairs are in order cause it's gonna be under the 7 train soon

Eagerly awaiting the news story of this thing getting trashed in its first two hours on the streets.

I’m not sure what would be more satisfying, if someone takes a tire iron to the thing until it looks like a piece of abstract art, or if the programming goes haywire and it rolls itself off a pier into the harbor and the brackish waters immediately fry its circuits.

guarantee they charge assaulting an officer. they already do it with police dogs.

Cop mayor and his consequences have been increasingly more disastrous to the city while also being increasingly more funny

I have no arms but I must beat

Make sure to ridicule every cop you see working alongside this thing.

I wish it would robocop him.

Put down your weapon. You have twenty seconds to comply.

Is that fucking thing really called a "knightscope"? God they're such fucking nerds, they probably thought that was really clever

Some bloodthirsty bazingas are going to roll out "ED-209" for border enforcement in a few years, aren't they? doomer

Clip of people killed at the border by police robot after being given "ten seconds to comply" circulates on /r/JusticeServed and /r/NextFuckingLevel, creating a circlejerk of such unprecedented proportions that thousands of Redditors faint from dehydration volcel-kamala

Most cops don't have one either, so it'll fit right in

Knightscope bots are also being used in Lowes and malls. One knocked over a toddler.

Having cameras ans snitches everywhere wasn't enough, so now the police surveillance state rolls around in a shitty little robot.

I’d like to see a buddy cop film about two robot cops involved in high speed chases.

"I'm hungry."

"How? We're not people - we don't have hunger or stomachs."

"Let's get cheese burgers, chili fries, and vanilla milkshakes."

"Okay. Wait. I'm getting a message in my hidden earpiece that there's a bank robbery in progress at the First National Bank eight and a half blocks away on Main Street."

"Never mind the burgers. Let's catch some bad guys."

To the dashboard he says: "Siren and flashing lights on." To his partner he says: "Hit it."

And their EV patrol car burns rubber.

every leftist has a moral duty to push these giant trashcans over on sight
until they stick a submachinegun in the torso at least

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

At this point I'd rather take the actual robocop, at least it comes without the pretence
