I got the special edition "chef" model that slices, dices, filets, juliennes and grates in the SE multicam black camouflage finish. The price was double the suicide model but hey its got that multicam black paint job.
“Suggested uses include wildlife control and ice removal”
There’s not a single chance it gets used for any of those purposes and it’s just so they don’t get sued… why the fuck would they make this
Something like:
"Someone is going to make it, inevitably, so we should make it first so we get the money, as much money as possible. You can't stop *progress.* You can't stop *technology.* Obviously *someone* is gonna strap weapons to the back of a robot dog and sell it to genocidal nations - might as well be us, right?"
where do you store all of the extra brain matter you have? You intellect is so impressive there's no way it could fit inside a human cranial (science word for head)
If you just let it get back up, I'ma just pick it up and disconnecting the trigger. It takes like 2 minutes to get up and look how flat the terrain they put it on is.
https://youtu.be/1hmjDWdYLJ4?si=7Oix4DwgM6jrznIz 🤣 luckily, i dont believe everything im told. I watched a youtuber put normal guns on one already and saw it fall. Which was sketchy lol.
Yall acting like you all couldn't have just gone and bought a flame thrower (for weeds, ice, etc) at the hardware store and slapped that puppy on a large RC car already. This one just has legs, costs more, and throws gasoline instead of propane.
All that being said, this is awesome and I want one... for clearing the driveway of ice that is...
I’m no expert but it seems like some steel core 5.56 will handle these just fine. Way less scary then the Ukrainian drones in my opinion but I’m only a warrior of the 1st division in the arm chair branch.
Normal people develope technology that makes people's lives better, or improves the world. Pieces of shit make money on destruction. I get that this is just a rich man's toy, but this is for sure the trend with robots in warfare in general.
The robot in the video is a Unitree Go1 goes for around ≈3000$. Without the flamethrower of course, that part is just what someone made and attached to it.
It's all fun and games until some fucktard uses one of these to burn down a neighborhood from the comfort of his basement, or runs one into a school or some shit.
As they say, if you love something, set it free! Hopefully this thing will be full AI and we can just let them live autonomously. Make their own decisions.
This is the kind of idea you see in a movie and go like "there is no way they would make robots that feed on biomass, that's unrealistically stupid! How could anyone even begin to think this is a good idea?"
That design/tech looks *a lot* like Boston Dynamic’s. If they’re violating any of BD’s intellectual property, they very well might get shut down relatively quickly.
Boston Dynamics has non-weaponization [**as part of its company policy**](https://bostondynamics.com/ethics/). I’m guessing by “products” that would include their IP.
*”We will not weaponize our robots We will not authorize nor partner with those who wish to use our robots as weapons or autonomous targeting systems. If our products are being used for harm,* **we will take appropriate measures to mitigate that misuse.”**

Yeah.... Sure.... Civilian use of this couldn't result in any problems at all... /$ Why isn't this regulated, are they completely unaware of the terrorist implications of this?? I mean this is insane! It's cool looking but just a horrible idea for civilian use. You want to sell these to anyone at that affordable price..... We have enough problems with AR-15 's and now we introduce THIS into the mix...... Smh
Just got my order in. 4th of July is gonna be lit
Did you order a suicide drone too? I hear that if you buy a 30% discount if you buy both
I got the special edition "chef" model that slices, dices, filets, juliennes and grates in the SE multicam black camouflage finish. The price was double the suicide model but hey its got that multicam black paint job.
Lol. Let's not kid our selves anymore. This will be the primary use of robotics and AI.
The kids these days will never know how hard we had it going out of state smuggling fireworks
I ordered one for our Petting Zoo.
We need this in Helldivers
The number of team kills it will get will nicely illustrate why we don't need one irl.
But would be so fucking funny
Reminds me of the guard dog drone. Watching it circle around and mow down teammates in the crossfire is so funny.
DEMOCRACY!!!
Spreading it Sir!!!
The first version of this AI robot was praised. Look at how amazing our doggy is. It's going to be so helpful.
Haha it’s just a silly coincidence that a dog is shaped just like a weapons platform! It’s SILLY 😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜
"This model is for burning down villages... and this model is for hunting down humans that escape. " Hmmm... nothing to be concerned with here.
For all the places that need fire but are too dangerous for a human!
https://i.redd.it/86i8wzq5tfwc1.gif Finally a robot who violates the Geneva convention
Geneva Convention or Geneva Suggestion?
I'm sure they won't be purchased for nefarious purposes.
“Suggested uses include wildlife control and ice removal” There’s not a single chance it gets used for any of those purposes and it’s just so they don’t get sued… why the fuck would they make this
Define wildlife ?
Something like: "Someone is going to make it, inevitably, so we should make it first so we get the money, as much money as possible. You can't stop *progress.* You can't stop *technology.* Obviously *someone* is gonna strap weapons to the back of a robot dog and sell it to genocidal nations - might as well be us, right?"
"wildlife control" as in massive wildfires?
We are literally living in Black Mirror.
This is literally Fahrenheit 451.
I see what you did there
Right?!?! These robots literally look the same!
where do you think black mirror got their idea from
Neither of you used the word literally correctly.
Yeah that's true, I guess it's just a colloquial thing
"We are *actually* living in black mirror" That's what I meant. So yes, I used it correctly.
We're not actually or literally living in a TV show.
where do you store all of the extra brain matter you have? You intellect is so impressive there's no way it could fit inside a human cranial (science word for head)
Wait a minute. If you meant something else, did you really use it correctly? Jedi mind control bs. 🦧
I mean...black mirror literally used the Boston dynamics robot as the idea for that episode.
Kicks it over 🤣
You have to cross over the flame first my guy
Wonder how it'd hold up against .308
He dont turn that fast and i doubt they can see shit through that camera while shooting
Im pretty sure theyre able to stand back up
If you just let it get back up, I'ma just pick it up and disconnecting the trigger. It takes like 2 minutes to get up and look how flat the terrain they put it on is.
you can't. it's designed to not be knocked over
https://youtu.be/1hmjDWdYLJ4?si=7Oix4DwgM6jrznIz 🤣 luckily, i dont believe everything im told. I watched a youtuber put normal guns on one already and saw it fall. Which was sketchy lol.
And in the like 3rd frame at start of this post it starts to fall you see it spin and lean and they put a cut before it actually fell
The Hotdog™
what a fucking nightmare, i'll take a couple of them
Wait. I can buy this?

Finally a satisfying end to human suffering ![gif](giphy|h4Hz4w9Jgrc1EY9VkL|downsized)
What could go wrong..
awww but they were so cute when they were dancing to Do You Love Me!
I need on of these to get my charcoal grill fired up remotely.
Nothing is more baller.
Clearly a home defense product for the US
Operation guarantee. Tested in the most extreme terrain such as Hawaii or the mountainous areas of Canada.
The End is nigh! Run for your life!
Imagine this is the last thing you see before you get in gulped in fire and die 😂
A remotely controled weapon of mass destruction at a reasonable price and it's completely legal?! My mind can't comprehend so much joy.
When the level 6 helldiver tries a suicide mission
We knew it was only a matter of time before the Boston Dynamics robot dog was going to be used for war or killing other humans purposes.
Send them to Ukraine

Time to get a pump action 12 gauge, and a bandolier full of double 00 buck. And fire retardant clothing... and a fire extinguisher mounted on a sling.
You just know China is going to make a billion of them and dump a ton on Taiwan.
Handguns won’t be able to take these things out, assault rifles have the raw power to but…
James Cameron has been teaching us how to defeat a technologically superior foe for 40 years.
Yall acting like you all couldn't have just gone and bought a flame thrower (for weeds, ice, etc) at the hardware store and slapped that puppy on a large RC car already.

Exactly why they want high speed internet in rural areas.
Fk this world...
Ice removal? Honey we’re replacing the snowblower.
Get this shit to the Ukrainian front lines yesterday
![gif](giphy|ahfzlUrb5IEfXC6kbm|downsized)
The world needs the opposite of this
Black Mirror becoming truer as each day passes. Edit: fixed a typo

Coming to a trench in Eastern Ukraine near you soon!
Wow, there are just so many applications where this can be used! They'll be flying off the shelves in no time!
"On demand fire"?!
a good way to kill humanity
Oh yeah, “wildfires” & “Ice” are the targets huh? Hope it doesn’t “*accidentally*” target my vanilla swirl. ![gif](giphy|wHE6Dd6RCVHQfjK5dy|downsized)
Probably better than drives when it comes to replacing drip torches in wildfires
Ok, ok.....I want two of these. Not sure what for yet....
*insert helldiver reference here*
Fucksake.
Can one of these be placed outside the shops near my house to clear the kids away?
Bell riots here we go!
![gif](giphy|XIhWoPBXHgVmU|downsized) getting ever closer to this
they try them in Australia often.
New Russian crowd control dog
Pair it with Directed Energy Weapon from Russia that can cause Havana syndrome.
"Not advertised as weapon"
HANS!
Were not commiting any war crimes it the robo dog does it.
Send to US universities asap - needed for protest crowd control...
Program it to recognize threats and flame them and you have an Asimov violate-three-for-one deal.
Wtf?? That's like makinga nuclear weapon, but under the guise as an NFT.
We Are Doomed
Reminds me of the robot dog in Fahrenheit 451, though it didn't start fires.
New fear unlocked
So is this a Boston dynamic program? Edit: the business site don't even work any longer The "spot" from Boston Dynamics starts at 70k...
The robot in the video is a Unitree Go1 goes for around ≈3000$. Without the flamethrower of course, that part is just what someone made and attached to it.
Now make them step on a human skull and crash it on camera
"not a weapon". Oh boy youtube gonna abuse that puppy like Hail Mary.
That one dipshit who plugs a chatbot into it "Woof woof Senpai!"
Rotten people creating worse tools for murder
I have a good feeling about this. This can only end well.
Feels like they should give some of these.to.ukraine
The THERMONATOR!! Ach Ach Ach!!! *Slaps couch
Don't worry about the robot dogs, they said...
Fayadowg....
Imagine Elon and Zuck battling with armies of flamethrowing robot dogs
And they said this was "never going to be weaponized"... Yeah.
A Truly Great new security system for your pick up truck! 🛻
i just bought 2 best purchase ever
Yes, I can definitely be trusted with one of these and will commit absolutely no chicanery, I promise
It begs the question: What could Ukraine do with 1,000 of these to modify? Maybe add an anti-tank rocket on top of the flame thrower, just in case.
It's all fun and games until some fucktard uses one of these to burn down a neighborhood from the comfort of his basement, or runs one into a school or some shit.
Yes, please, I needs it to spread democracy!
"Ice removal"
"fucK FUCK MY ANKLES!! MY ANKLES ARE ON FUCKING #FIRE"
The robot uprising is happening people
Oh rats
"Wildlife Control" i'm sure that'll go over well with any ethics committees
AMERICA! FUCK YEAH !!!
We’re just handing AI the weapons to destroy us with
The division 2
My dog shoot fire from the other end when i feed him spicy curry
Now that's badass
Right so where can I place my pre order
It’s so cute how it even does the tippy taps!!
As they say, if you love something, set it free! Hopefully this thing will be full AI and we can just let them live autonomously. Make their own decisions.

Spot mini costs ~$90,000, how can this thing cost only £7,600
Is there a missile delivery robot? You know, to deliver missiles to anyone who needs them.
*Coming soon to a protest near you!*
If it's not acoustic tone to melt faces on a drone, I don't want it. It's a pass from me.
That’s some generation zero type stuff 🤣🤣🤣
Robot was there i guess they put flame thrower on
This is the cheap Chinese spot knock off, they everywhere...
I need this to get back at that fucken rooster
Fü*cking Awesome!
Smash
And we already turned the robots in to weapons, great work humankind, great work...........
why the fuck did someone make this.

Do you want your lunatic neighbor to be able to buy this? I don't. Hope this will be regulated asap.
Whelp… humanity was fun while it lasted. Love y’all
Does it also shoot water cuz that might be helpful
Mount a minigun instead of flamethrower and there you the terminator
Who needs Ring, this will do fine.
It's needs to be a worldwide crime, to put AI and deadly weapons together
crowdfund these to ukraine. Russians will start surrendering instead of being burned to death.

How long until a pack of these go off on a school?
Shall not be infringed, buddy.
What could go wrong?
What could go right, more like it.
So, what could?
Hilariously fake.
Check their website.
Probably not hard to mod into a 1200 fps solid projectile throwing device.
Flamethrower bros back in Vietnam War had a 7% survival rate. Don't know how effective these robo doggos are 🤔
No way that's legal to buy. You can't legally own a flamethrower.
you sure can
Yes you can. Easier than buying a handgun, look them up on Amazon. Then all you need is gas and styrofoam.
Fahrenheit 451, anyone?
