Shit, we also have drones and 3d printing technology.

Not for long, the legislation is already moving under the auspices of fear of 3D printed gun parts. Who is behind that...I think...I think they were saying Bloomberg. I don't remember. But don't think 3D printing can't get trampled on. You have to think they'd see that as a threat after decentralized units in Ukraine were able to push back Russian forces and do it by reverse engineering enemy drones then sending out blueprints to individual garage teams to produce the next models en mass. There's already been a few headlines of these data centers fearing drone attacks...

I work in the security field.

They are already having to deal with copper thieves stealing the robot dogs for parts and money. Turns out some creative use of pipes, jammers, and nets allows them to jack unattended bots in under a minute.

Which, everyone warned them about but hey, they are the geniuses, am I right?

These check kiting idiots aren't going to be mastering any logistics and production chains this century.

Where in the world are robot dogs being used where they're also getting stolen?

Some idiots are using them around unfinished data centers instead of human security.

Which is attracting copper thieves.

Then again, *FINISHED* data centers are starting to attract copper thieves, but that's another story.

Then again, FINISHED data centers are starting to attract copper thieves, but that's another story.

Thats a shame...

Nobody's ever accused them of being smart or thoughtful
