I think it’s more that an agency that defends murderers in their ranks isn’t going to have a problem deploying something that injures innocent Americans as it tries to do whatever it’s meant to.

On the upside, I look forward to everyone at Boston Dynamics being subpoenaed for the next few years. Maybe we’ll get some new entrants from the departures.

> deploying something that injures innocent Americans

Except that's not what's happening here. In fact, quite the opposite, it's more like robotic PPE.

		> that's not what's happening here Nobody claimed anyone has been injured by these devices yet. (They haven’t been deployed in public.) The reasonable concern is that when they are deployed, they are likely to injure someone because the people deploying them have been eagerly hurting—and defending those who hurt—innocent Americans.

These robots are 2 feet tall and don’t come equipped with weapons.

Genuinely curious how you are saying they are dangerous? Are they more or less dangerous than a human with a gun?

I genuinely don’t see these being used as an “or.” It’s undertrained idiots with guns plus these, or just the former. [1] https://www.semafor.com/article/05/19/2026/worker-backlash-o...
