Meet the Futuristic Military Robot Dog

[@SamEckholm]

So what do you guys think of the Ghost Dog? Can you imagine these things walking around town... 😳

[@bigmac2356]

Love your videos Sam! Could you follow me on instagram? (will_gdfy)

[@BeanBurrito69]

I think they’d be a great asset for entry control points (ECPs), although I will say that I’m impressed, I’ll be far more impressed when they’re completely autonomous!

[@scottpaschal9905]

Walking around town..... Have you not heard about the Ghost Dog/Spot deal in NYC? All it is, is a militarized Spot Dog from Boston Dynamics.....

the features and sensors are honestly impressive while it murders your family.

[@d0nj03]

I'm super excited about these happy-music and smiley-faced positive-vibes adverts announcing a dystopian future of neverending war and murderous technology developments. I take comfort in the knowledge that the psychopathic USofA is only really good at and interested in developing killing machines and keeping wars going non-stop, and that when the rest of the world finally understands that we will likely form an alliance of everyone else against the US death-cult-machine.

A military instrument "designed to limit HUMAN exposure to potential dangers" - is a very unhuman thing to say

This positive music and smiles SO strange here. It’s a military machine. And somebody already install the riffle on it. It goes to kill people in the near future. So strange

[@Ali-jx1ub]

He talks about that like it’s a cool new innovation while it’s absolutely monstrously dangerous. Rather than stupidly smiling and saying it’s cool and he’s excited, he can at least warn about the dangers of that.

Now imagine them being used to hunt you down when your on the run with your family. When they need to bring you in to a fema camp. They are basically telling you, they can run over rough terrain, can carry explosives and they're making them better. They are going to use drones and dogs to hunt you down.

[@AntediluvianRomance]

[@KimberlyMoody-tf2yu]

[@technotau0419]

Dont you just love it when someone just knocks of boston dynamics spot

[@RosscoAW]

Boston Dynamics is a defense contractor whose original robots were all created explicitly for the almost sole purpose of serving as early prototypes of exactly this, except fucking way larger and much more terrifying. BD's Spot is a crystallization of that research over years into a low cost consumer application useable by enterprise customers -- this, on the other hand, is designed specifically to provide low-cost automation of repetitive security personnel tasks; both are arguably the consequence of *literal decades* of human labour and *many hundreds of millions of USD* in publicly-funded research and subsidized partnerships with industry. Spot is the "knock-off" of decades of work and enough taxpayer funds to build an entire university or a new Tier 1 hospital, all at the expense of the government, with privately-funded involvement being netlabel and only relatively quite recent. American innovation is a consequence of massive, government-organized and government-led projects, and commercialization and privatization are one of the last and frankly least important links in the chain. If you want to complain about something (silly), complain about how they didn't build a hospital in your podunk rural community so they could have robot dogs. You'd still sound silly, but at least you'd sound like *a remotely educated/aware silly.*

I feel like the upbeat tone is not fitting in here, I find it dishonest. "Safety, security!" - this is Vault Boy lexicon. I'm not universally critical about war and war-related technology, (as a matter of fact, I love vision 60) just focusing on it being a cool new thing coming to your neighborhood? Yeah, right, kids, the AIR FORCE is interested in it to NOT drop it from a PLANE onto some oblivious Taliban doods shitting their pants and questioning if abolishing technology was the right idea.

[@kirbyis4ever]

They're neat for patrol duty with how fast they are. The police already have rugged bots that can traverse stairs and even deflect munitions. Drones are a skeet shooting target, but these dogs would be ideal for large buildings with a lot of hallways since you could very quickly have it patrol through.
