Damn!

If your personal robot starts winking at you....get another one.

The 1950s: “We should talk in person. Who knows who is listening?”

The 2010s: “Hey espionage device, confirm dinner reservations?”

The book When the Word Is Given by Louis E. Lomax (1969) said the plan of the American black Muslim movement was to give a “word” to signal all the black maids, butlers, chauffeurs, nannies and others to kill the whites near them, including children. This would begin the black takeover of America.

When I read it my objection was comparatively very few white people actually had servants——even today with the increase in wealth of the middle and upper class. I did not argue with the slaughter premise.

So.....
Robot dogs made in China. Nice doggies. Until the word is given (in Chinese) to tear the humans to pieces.

But are they edible?

[corkoman]

turn on the captions for a hoot!

[GnuThere]

It’s ugly, but cheaper than some purebred puppies!

[kanawa]

..and it won’t chew up my shoes.

[steve86]

Did you notice the Tic-Tac hovering overhead?

[bk1000]

That video is fake. Sorry.

[correctthought]

Really looks like a Boston Dynamics knock off.

Why develop anything yourself, when you can just steal it.

[bigbob]

You know that’s a spoof of the real Boston Dynamics robots, right?

[algore]

Obviously not possible yet, but sooner than lenr

[Celerity]

The guys at IEEE aren’t fools though.

And they did softly insinuate that the chinese company COULD fake it, but likely have not.

That said, this little sucker is useless. The demo guy had to jam a water bottle under the handle to drive home that “It could be... useful... I guess..”

But yeah, China will kick off the robot apocalypse.

[BeauBo]

Cheap knockoff product, using stolen Intellectual property - its what China does best.

Personal and household robots are coming this decade.

[Colorado Doug]

This is a good one too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn3KWM1kuAw

What is the point of this? For people that cant stand real animals? Unless it has optional pitbull mode or an attachable .30 mm gun, its rather worthless.
