I don't say this often cause it's kinda silly most of the time. But this really is manufactured consent for thinking we need robot dogs having guns. It escalated so fast from a bomb detector/natural disaster aid to a fucking walking turret. All under the guise that oh isn't technology so cute!!! uwu
Starts with paintball guns, then it'll turn to "less lethal" rounds, and before the end of Biden's administration someone from this site is going to have been killed after being shot in the face with a teargas canister out of one of these bad boys.
I feel like society grew up watching sci fi dystopias and apparently decided "yes, that's how we want to live"
It's a lot easier to shoot back at a robot at least
