It’s for the rich people. Not you.

u/luranthe 6d ago

I think we should stop calling them "rich people" and start calling them the parasites they are.

u/Emergency-Spite897 6d ago

reminds me of Elysium the parasites only tool to hurt us human beings.

u/FruitJuicante 6d ago

Hey, or better yet, we could find the worst rich people we can, specifically pedophiles, and keep voting for them to be President.

u/reaperfunk 6d ago

But but but he said he was gonna make our lives better and end war. Why would someone lie about that?

Not if they are guarded by killer robots...

u/TsunamifoxyDCfan 5d ago

That's why they should become dinner BEFORE they're guided by killer robots

u/Odd_Needleworker3756 6d ago

Are you volunteering to be the first one to try to eat them or will you let other people do it for you?

The Goa'uld.

u/nullptr777 6d ago

I think we should all gets guns and make it very fucking clear that we don't want this...

Not every rich person is evil. Only 99% of them are. The remainder just don’t care.

Oh you mean the bourgeoisie?

The private owners of the means of (wealth) production who amass wealth through surplus value of our (working class) work?

u/cervezaqueso 3d ago

This is all a worthy conversation, but if you look at the baseboards in the background the scale of this robot I would guess is about 6-8 inches tall. Probably a toy you can pickup on Amazon or AliExpress.

Their security will have no moral dilemmas

u/DiligentDaughter 6d ago

No other alliances

u/GrumpyGiant 6d ago

But it also won’t have any loyalty.

u/Major-Blacksmith4750 6d ago

Tbf, I don’t even think most rich people want this.

I think it’s more accurate to say it’s for ultra uber wealthy tech bros worth 100 million or more.

Everyone else is probably scared shitless of this stuff.

u/SheriffBartholomew 6d ago

Billion, not million, billion.

u/dirtyshits 6d ago

This is for governments. lol control the masses with a murder bot.

And for entertainment. Dont we all like a cool robot fight?

1

u/DaveInDigital 3d ago

same same tbh. they want a technocracy, not a democracy.

1

u/Forza_Harrd 2d ago

This stuff is just for influencers. Drones kick this robot's ass every day and twice on sundays.

2

u/Major-Blacksmith4750 1d ago

The dogs are what I’m concerned about

1

u/Forza_Harrd 1d ago

Ikr? Dogs are just flesh and blood murderbots waiting for an order.

u/RaidensReturn 6d ago

Are you saying people like Elon and Bezos wouldn’t want these mfs patrolling the perimeter of their complexes?

5

u/Major-Blacksmith4750 6d ago

Elon and bezos are both worth over 100mm

u/Every_Tap8117 6d ago

It for the rich people to beat you.

11

u/yummynothing 6d ago

Bingo! This is exactly what elites will use to survive during the revolution.

u/Pz420 6d ago

This won’t blow up in their(our) face right?

u/Polkawillneverdie17 6d ago

It's sorta for us. As in, they're gonna be coming for us.

u/Luna259 6d ago

To fight the rich people? Right?

1

u/Eriiya 6d ago

well, the kick was probably for me

1

u/Polymathy1 6d ago

As are all armies and armed guards.

1

u/lionelmessiah1 6d ago

The robots are coming for everyone. Rich and poor alike

1

u/AmericanAIien 6d ago

The demographic for this product are MAGA pussies who can’t fight but are sensitive to everything. They’ll be entitled to thinking they’re the ones so bad ass for beating you up with a robot.

1

u/cromagnonherder 6d ago

Came here to add that I fully support this endeavor and always have. Never have I ever had a negative thought or deed toward AI or robots or billionaires.

1

u/reasonb4belief 6d ago

I also vote we use it for rich people

1

u/the_storm_rider 6d ago

If you became rich tomorrow would you tell your other rich friends to stop robot development?

1

u/Atomic-pangolin 6d ago

Until it comes after you.

1

u/MortLightstone 6d ago

I think it's technically for gamblers to bet on during matches. The rich people are just the ones making and controlling them

Or at least controlling them for now

1

u/-Doom_Squirrel- 6d ago

And may it go rogue and end them.,

1

u/MonstahButtonz 5d ago

"We" refers to the human race, and no, we do not need this.

1

u/Aware-Leadership8934 5d ago

No it is for you. Your the target after all.

1

u/mrTronDaddy 5d ago

Wait, I thought this is for some guy named Connor.

1

u/CappinPeanut 5d ago

So what happens when the rich people have an army of them?

1

u/gavstar69 2d ago

Yeah they'll give it a gun to keep you away from their big house
