San Francisco Police Department clarified that it would not seek to arm any of its robots with firearms but rather with explosives as an "intermediate force option" that could prove to be lethal.

Lmao, I was naïve enough to think this wasn’t really gonna happen, and the libs weren’t gonna go and endorse dollar store Robocop, but :yea:

Dean Preston remains a tiny dot of light in California politics:

"We’re talking about a sniper in a fully occupied hotel, and the solution... would be to put a bomb-bearing robot to blow up that hotel?" Preston asked about the Vegas scenario. Of the suicide bomber, he asked, “We’re going to use a robot with a bomb to subdue a suicide bomber?”

Just amazing to think the levels of violence that are going to be unleashed on poor people in the next 20 years.

        Wasn't this literally the origin story for Robot Santa? Now it's just waiting for the AI to realise that everybody should be on the naughty list (except Zoidberg).
