Who's surprised: you can't make machines this creepy and sell them to normal human beings with good intentions...

I’ve watched Boston Dynamics with trepidation and awe for decades, I always knew this day would come
Localized EMP devices are illegal, and you should not research them soon
My hotspot password is like your username. Didn’t want people to be able to know it just by seeing it.
Dude, you need more character variance in your wifi password.
You don't need high tech, spray paint on the sensors will blind these. Shoot some rock salt into the cameras, hose them down with water.
Spray paint suggests a certain proximity, but paint in water balloons opens up some options
We have paintball guns, btw.
I'm not sure holding a gun, paint or otherwise, in front of an autonomous killer Nazi robot dog is a great idea
I thought you needed a massive energy burst for an emp. I guess I haven't actually researched it...
The war is coming folks.
Hey look, it's what happens when you give unqualified racist chodes unlimited funding.
Benn Jordan did a video on potential robo dog security concerns in case anybody is interested
Flip them over and pull the battery
LOL genuinely before entering comments I thought to myself that this is something that Elon Musk would think up.
I'm going to be getting a new bra for this. A trap for boobies is what I mean. It would be this long corridor entrance to my house with automatic doors on either end. If you are expected you open the door and come in. Otherwise if you're a robot, as soon as you enter, both doors close and there will be a laser grid traveling from side to side chopping everything into little cubes. Or a large flame. Or maybe pointy rods shoot from bottom, top and sides and then retract.
Or maybe I would just have a 2X4 on the ready. I'm pretty sure those things can be wacked with a 2X4 easily.

Whichever is cheaper.
Don't James Bond what you can MacGuiver.
The Boston Dynamics dogs have a number of failsafe stop modes. One of which is loss of controller connection. Which can be made from some shit from the hardware store and a circuit board you can order online.
Time to start researching Bola launchers. Gonna Hoth those bastards.
This is how we end RAM crisis, these dogs are full of RAM!
May have to get your soldering iron ready though. It's not going to be DIMMs.
Nobody thought I was serious! Back in zzeddit I had stated again and again, you'll be running away from one of those things one day. It will have a turret on it shooting at you. But nah, oh look, isn't it a marvel? Now here are the consequences.
Just a fucking matter of time. Abolish ICE and start the ICE trials. It’s time to put these nazis back in the facist Neo confederate hole they oozed out off.
Honestly might be kind of cool, I bet they're expensive and easy to dismantle. There are already video clips online detailing the location of the battery compartment.
I'm not for vandalizing, but this is so clearly dystopian and reminiscent of a precise Black Mirror episode I'd want to kick the shit out of them as soon as I saw them.
Okay, so I'll say this. The doggies with guns/etc have been extensively prototyped, you don't hear much about it because it happens in other countries. The only reason I know is because of friends that I've worked with. Boston Dynamics, as they said they will never put weapons on them, well that doesn't mean another company won't buy them and put them on. Get your green tips while you can.
I heard a podcast where they were discussing the recent apocolyptic warnings about AI possibily ending humanity. The interviewer was asking how this was supposed to happen. Various ideas were bandied about, such as AI making a virus and the like.
But maybe it was just killer robot dogs:
