      A bunch of people snapped pictures of my robot dog. Several people asked me questions. Was it being used for surveillance? (No.)

      Are you sure?

          Not by him.

          Why? Jesus Christ. Unless you are planning on taking it apart and reading it’s circuitry, don’t patronize this kind of shit.

            Still cheaper than a 5090

                    I lol’d because one of the questions in the comments was, well what can it do, and the answer was…not much. That’s an awfully expensive toy…but at least the legs are replaceable 🤷‍♂️

                        Yes but in this case it generates income for the author in terms of his ongoing employment.

                              What can a real dog do?

                                      You can’t answer the question using a deliberately broad terminology. That robot also can accompany an owner.

                                          Go out. Pet a dog. Talk to a human in real life.

                                            Maybe you’re a robot.

                                              That’s what you thought he meant?

                                              This wasn’t a failure of communication on his part, it was a failure on yours.

                                            It has three modes; silent, pulse, and throb.

                                              On a sunny morning in June, I walked to work with a quadruped robot beside me. I’ve never gotten more attention from strangers.
