It’s like RoboCop, except the robots are villains helping human villains villain more comprehensively.
Well, can’t wait for videos of hooded people beating them up at night. I see that happening.
Hoods and face paint as well as face disfigurement are now illegal.
There go the Baseball Fury’s
The Lizzies would kick that thing’s ass.
You must now carefully carry your bicycle to prevent face disfigurement from a fall. Door slammers will face steep fines. Acids are now illegal, you must crank your vehicle to start it up.
No admission to the talkies without an onion on your belt
People have a moral duty to destroy these anti-human robopigs
It’s like RoboCop, except the robots are villains helping human villains villain more comprehensively.
Ummm… That’s exactly the plot of RoboCop…
Oops lol, hadn’t seen it since I was a kid over 30 years ago so I guess I’m more than a little fuzzy on the details, broad strokes, and the everything else of it 😂
The least realistic part of Robocop is that the cops were still trying to be good people.
In your defense, it’s a coke-fueled nightmare with so many story points that it can easily be confused for 3 separate movies.
In offense to me, I think the remake has a better foundation and better acting and only suffers from trying to appease a wider audience.
This article is 2 years old, I live here and I haven’t seen them yet. They’ll have to be accompanied by human officers anyway, cause NYers will absolutely destroy these things if they catch them alone
“you have five seconds to comply…”
And just to show I’m serious, you have zero seconds to comply.
Don’t point it at me, point it at ED 209.
The K5 is pitched as an “Autonomous Security Robot” and was unveiled in 2014. K5 units have made the news for various incidents like driving into a pond or running over children.
🤣
Wasn’t that the plot of RoboCop?
I mean, these things are kind a dog-like ED209, the big robot that killed the exec in the beginning. Unless there is the brain of a cop that died inside that dog mech, I’m going to have to go with no.
- brain of a cop inside a robot dog
- robot dog tries to shoot itself first
It’s been 20 or 30 years since I last saw it, but wasn’t the only robot the Good Guy? Because these robots are just tools for the villains of real life to better oppress people…
The cyborg, RoboCop was a good guy. But even he had programming blocking him from opposing or harming the crooks that headed the corporation that built his robotic body and they were not good guys at all. They also had the fully robotic walking tanks Ed 209, that did their bidding fully (when not experiencing bugs).
You have ten seconds to comply! Rawr!
Yeah that was fixed the very next firmware update.
No, the cyborg (personhood, empathy) is the hero, the hulking robots are unthinking beasts that follow the commands of their human masters…
Michael Reeves had the right idea turning these into beer pissbots.
I foresee a new market popping up of parts stolen off of kidnapped and parted out robots form the NYPD.
goddamn these are gonna be fun to vandalize.
“You have been observed violating the law. Please stand still to ensure a painless termination. Have a nice death.”
I hope someone zaps one and reprograms it with Alan Tudyk’s voice.
I hope they are destroyed by citizens.
I can’t wait for somebody to slap an inflatable tube man on one.
Oh it’s Knightscope. Dont worry too much, those robots are pretty shitty. https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2017/7/17/15986042/dc-security-robot-k5-falls-into-water
Doest matter if they’re shitty, they’re both doing surveillance on the public, and normalizing having robots roaming around ‘policing’ you.
Literally tomorrow they could just start detecting your skin tone and start alerting ICE that you need to be deported. Ya think when ICE shows up they’re gonna listen to you as you state your case? Nah, the bot told us you’re an immigrant about to commit a crime.
Yes I’m sure they haven’t iterated on it in the past 6-8 years
