SF police wanted to put bombs in them:

Yeah. The conversation was so weird.
Police - "We want to give robots lethal force."
City - "WTF HELL NO"
Police - "Calm down. Just for OCCASIONAL bombs."
Lease only. $70,000 per year.

Their navigation is terrible, only marginally better than a roomba. Google "Knightscope suicide" - at least one in DC rolled into a fountain. And I've heard of the same happening in Cali, but can't find photos.
They use them in the bay area to try to keep homeless people out of the garages.
I really want to sketch out something that looks like SCP 096's face on a sticky note and stick it to that thing's camera section. It'll only be *mildy-annoying* but it'd be amusing to me.
I got close to one with my 'dangerous tools' laptop, but people were starting to stare and point at the guy with an antenna on his dashboard so i had to leave before some dumbnuts called the cops. Wasn't able to determine what wireless frequencies it was using.
“You see, killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own troops until they reached their limit and shut down.”
I’m from silicon valley/SF Bay Area and these things appeared briefly in the outdoor mall at the foot of sand hill road (where all the venture capitalists jerk each other off) like 5-7 years ago, assume that was their trial run or something. Uncorroborated but I heard they removed them bc teens kept kicking them over
Wait, isnt that the robot that once told a woman to "fuck off" when she report that she saw a brawl happening, to which then the robot goes away while singing a song?
Edit: this is what I meant https://www.google.com/amp/s/metro.co.uk/2019/10/04/police-robot-told-woman-go-away-tried-report-crime-sang-song-10864648/amp/
Lowes has had these creepy security trailers at all my local Lowes. They have cameras, lights, and speakers on them. It comes on from time to time to make dystopian claims of being there for us. It comes across as what it is, “Lowes is watching you!”
No. That movie endorses eugenics which has been disproven time and time again. It tries to say that if stupid people breed you get more stupid people. Which is wrong and bad for a number of reasons, but it just it just is not true. And any statement it thinks its making is just muddled by the fact they think incompetence and poor people breeding will get us to that point when in reality its just the greed from the oligarchs.
Its a really classist movie tbh, and sends a lot of wrong messages. It’s a liberals attempt to blame poor people rather than blame the system that made them get to this point.
>. It tries to say that if stupid people breed you get more stupid people.
And it's generally right, if a bit exaggerated. Furthermore if you disincentivize non-stupid people from breeding (as we are doing currently), you end up with less of them, and your average iq begins to resemble a pyramid.
Is this vulnerable to cyber attacks? Jam WiFi communications? Throw a bag over it and kick it into the canal? Anyone seen ways to disable these? Do it enough times on the first investment, and it will be a while before they consider using them again.
I tried to find out what radio bands it uses but I had to break it off because too many people were getting curious about the dude using a laptop in a car and with a big antenna on his dashboard. I'd LOVE another crack at them; I didn't even pin down what frequency they communicate on.

I bet this thing cost like $15,000 and does fuck all other than functioning as a mobile surveillance camera to harass employees...
Just wait till they come equipped with lethal force
SF police wanted to put bombs in them: https://www.npr.org/2022/12/06/1141129944/san-francisco-deadly-robots-police#:~:text=SAN%20FRANCISCO%20%E2%80%94%20San%20Francisco%20supervisors,in%20such%20fashion%20for%20now.
Bombs? Why do police need bombs? Edit: read the article. We narrowly avoided a dystopian nightmare, with the eerie qualifier: “for now.”
Yeah. The conversation was so weird. Police - "We want to give robots lethal force." City - "WTF HELL NO" Police - "Calm down. Just for OCCASIONAL bombs."
Oh hey, check out this [Wiki article about the MOVE bombing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MOVE_bombing).
“How dare you try to establish a self-sufficient community outside the reach of capitalism? You don’t deserve to live.”
- CIA and Pinochet 1973, Chile
*CIA and just about everything they’ve ever touched
Dpd Did put bomb in them
You have 20 seconds to comply
*bugs so that “compliance” would require a humanly impossible stunt
Oh, ya that's already in the work, one wrong spark from a wire and complices would end out how most cops handle it...deadly force
“The department has reviewed the incident and found no fault”
Yep https://www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/comments/10l8nv6/in_2016_daniel_shaver_was_fatally_shot_while/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Hears something
Explain! Explain!
How much explaining does it take? Robot+AI+gun=autonomous killbot
Like...a dalek?
Daleks are aliens inside a mech.
Lease only. $70,000 per year. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1272421 Their navigation is terrible, only marginally better than a roomba.

Oh yeah, another one of these pod type robots also "committed suicide" by driving straight into a fountain in Russia a few years back
even the robots know Earth is shit and the ones capable of doing so are opting out the future is now!
did musk program it or something?
Now that you mention it, the same model of robot also ran over a child in 2016. Seems very on brand for musky so far...
Holy shit.
$15k robot vs $10 can of spray paint from lowes
MALFUNCTION, MY VISION IS IMPAIRED, I CAN NOT SEE!
Sabotage, use deadly force
*starts spinning around firing in every direction*
Nomad say... "Error!, error!"
Somehow killing only civilians
That you didn't pay for. Lmao
\>15k robot. HA! 70k to \*lease\* one of these per year.
Laser pointer from e-bay. Ruins the CCD. Leaves no physical evidence.
Lowes managers- "money well spent"
"Sorry everyone, we have to cut your pay. Leasing these useless, glorified roombas is hella expensive."
Yep. Just had dash cams that face outward and inward installed in the fleet and you could tell our scumbag boss couldn’t wait to abuse that power.
My old employer tried that in our office and some people said they didn't give permission. Bosses looked so defeated when they had to remove them all.
I’d be surprised if it did that. It’s probably just a roomba with a lot of plastic. It’s like a fake camera to discourage theft.
Securitron 1 yay
Found the Fallout comment I was looking for... +1 Charisma to you traveler 😉👍🏻
Thanks! Here’s some soap for you. 🧼
Quick! Somebody get the FISTER program!
Yayyyy... So, what does it do? Is it just a giant roving camera?
[удалено]
Exterminate!
Looks liké our very first dalek!!!
And like series 1 Daleks; they are terrified of stairs!
MTG's Jewish space lasers? So that's where they all got to.
>Whatever it does, it's doing it now. Marge Simpson
Should work well in places like Philly, just ask that hitchhiking robot.
Literally spotted in NE Philly lol, I wanted to run it over so bad but my car is too precious
$70k robot vs $7 worth of rare earth magnets. Whose in?
Just buy a ramset at lowes, drive a few nails through the robot, then return the ramset lmao
My in
“I just wanted to show it my cool collection of super fine grain iron sand”
Looks like a roomba cosplaying as a dalek.
I really want to sketch out something that looks like SCP 096's face on a sticky note and stick it to that thing's camera section. It'll only be *mildy-annoying* but it'd be amusing to me.
First saw it roaming the parking lot at night, the urge to run it over was strong (plus I'm from Philly it's in our nature)
If all your comment said was "philly" I would assume this thing would have been beaten, dismembered, and thrown into the river
Its in our all nature. That thing is just unnatural
Throw snowballs at it at least.
Batteries
We shouldn't take our anger out on the robot, he's a wage labourer too. He needs to fuel his batteries. Class unity includes all workers!
'What is my purpose?' - robot 'You harass shoppers.' - management 'Oh my god.' - robot
He should be unionised.
This is the same idea as solidarity with the police. They are not on your side.
Dude, it's a joke... Its a robot that goes around and films, not everything has to be a serious take.
I felt the need to clarify your joke
Not really, putting /s is cringy and people either get it or they don't.
I felt the need to clarify your joke regardless of how you feel about it.
I got close to one with my 'dangerous tools' laptop, but people were starting to stare and point at the guy with an antenna on his dashboard so i had to leave before some dumbnuts called the cops. Wasn't able to determine what wireless frequencies it was using.
“You see, killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own troops until they reached their limit and shut down.”
This Lowes will break before the Guard does!
EXTERMINATE
EX-TERM-IN-ATEEEE
There it is.
This is NOT the droid we're looking for
I cannot say fuck Lowe’s enough. What a shitty company.
Which is worse, Home Despots or Lowe’s?
They Both Suck
Yes. But based on Corp policy, lowes.
Lowe’s, dude. Without a doubt. It’s the ghetto ass version of Home Depot.
Lowes
Ok. Bb gun, aim for the lidar on top. Check out the prices on the velodyne puck. How many replaced before the cost outweighs the benefit?
I’m from silicon valley/SF Bay Area and these things appeared briefly in the outdoor mall at the foot of sand hill road (where all the venture capitalists jerk each other off) like 5-7 years ago, assume that was their trial run or something. Uncorroborated but I heard they removed them bc teens kept kicking them over
As the should lol
They had them roaming the streets near the baseball stadium as well 2018 or so
Oh hey it's that machine that tells you to leave it alone, then sings at you.
You have 2 second to comply.
Put stickers on its cameras. This lil guy is a cop and cops are not working class.
Lead pipe.
Chopping Mall irl 💀
100% https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaBcyxKZjMI
Its a fucking dalek omg
So tempted to glue a plunger and a whisk to one of them
Just reprogram its personality and keep plenty of subway tokens on hand

Does it clean as well and can you fuck it? Idk the last models said they weren't getting paid enough for both but we did it anyway.
Lowes has had these creepy security trailers at all my local Lowes. They have cameras, lights, and speakers on them. It comes on from time to time to make dystopian claims of being there for us. It comes across as what it is, “Lowes is watching you!”
Is Rob Schneider hiding in there?
Tip the demon egg
That thing looks incredibly kick-able
Why do you want to hurt him. This is how we get the matrix.
Get that man a cowboy hat. Primm Slim is on the case.
I remember this part of Fallout!
The next model will release those dog like ones from it's belly if things go sideways in the store. Maybe two fast mini ones with lasers.
Doesn’t look like it moves very fast
I used to think Lowe's was the ethical option to Home Depot. Looks like I was wrong.
I've seen Chopping Mall, I know how this works out in the end.
Every day we stray further towards Idiocracy

Great point! You made me think! Thanks!
Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!
Can we all just... IDK... Vandalize these? They can't arrest everybody right? Right?
As someone who fucking hates Lowe's, I'd love to take a large metal baseball bat to it
Kaiser in San Leandro, California had one of these. Both my dog and I were weirded out by it.
I really need a video of one of these things on fire.
Loew's Dalek "EXTERMINATE! EXPLOITATE!"
He's pretty cute tho. I love him.
R2-D2’s ugly brother.
I always hiss at the robot floor washer at Walmart. Lol
NARC2-D2
How many rounds per minute does it fire?
Man, I haven't gone cow tipping in a long time, looks like it's time to get back into it with the new update.
We are living out Idiocracy
Thought it said securitron, greatly disappointed
Is this vulnerable to cyber attacks? Jam WiFi communications? Throw a bag over it and kick it into the canal? Anyone seen ways to disable these? Do it enough times on the first investment, and it will be a while before they consider using them again.
I tried to find out what radio bands it uses but I had to break it off because too many people were getting curious about the dude using a laptop in a car and with a big antenna on his dashboard. I'd LOVE another crack at them; I didn't even pin down what frequency they communicate on.
Exterminate! Exterminate!
I wanna sit on it and ride it like my cat rides my roomba
Exterminate
It's okay, their one weekness is stairs, and some of them are apparantly suicidal.
Fetch a tarp.
Bruh. RoboCop becomes more real every day. 🦧
Show these people that the costs of repair/replacement each week (\*wink) aren't worth it.
The saving grace is that they do Jack shit, the real problem is when they can actually do something
This looks like a buttplug
That's not even one of those cool old school cylons.
Paul Blart, Robo Cop
Shoot! I had Big-Box Store Dalek on my ***2022*** bingo card!!
A futuristic suicide booth!
Cyberpunk is inevitable
Time to go for a dive in the Thames
Just out of curiosity: how easy are those robots to tip over?
is that a fuckin dalek?!
I just watched Chopping Mall the other night. Did we learn nothing from that movie?!
