There Are Indian Robot Security Dogs Patrolling the Grounds of an Apartment Complex in Atlanta

So is that an AI voice that just happens to be Indian? Or is there an Indian man in that dog? Is there a man who commutes 6 hours a day, hanging off the side of a comically crowded train to earn $8,000 a year, sitting in front of a camera and monitoring the grounds of an Atlanta apartment complex through the eyes of a robot dog from 8,500 miles away? Because it sounds like the latter. It sounds like they're outsourcing local jobs to India via robo-canine. It sounds like this guy is your apartment complex's head of security.

It was going to happen eventually. First it was food delivery robots that moved at an impossibly slow pace. Then it was robot cops monitoring parking garages – idk if those are everywhere, but they had them in my city (and they literally did nothing).

Now you can buy your own personal robot assistant on Amazon. There are robot fighting leagues in Japan. Robots are breaking Usain Bolt's world records (albeit exploding moments later).

We've even got robots working for ICE. 

You know, if we really don't want the robots taking our jobs (which we all say we don't), there will come a time when we have to fight back. We're going to have to start beating the shit out of them sooner or later. The only thing that will stop the robots is if their existence makes life more difficult and more expensive for the people who mean to benefit from them. The Indian robot security dogs might be a good place to start. Obviously, there are cameras in them. I assume destroying one with a baseball bat could get you arrested. But like… just throw on a mask. Go park somewhere there's no camera, cover your face, walk back to the apartment complex, and smash the ever-living piss out of that robot. Office Space style.

If every working robot a company deploys is murdered, at some point they'll decide it's not worth it. 

Everybody chastised the city of Philadelphia for reducing that poor, defenseless hitchBOT to rubble. We called them animals. Monsters. An embarrassing representation of the United States.

In hindsight, maybe Philly had the right idea. They were just a decade early. hitchBOT didn't even do anything. He was barely a robot. But those heathens in Philadelphia had the foresight to realize that if they aided a helpless hitchBOT in passing through their city… well, they read 'If You Give a Mouse a Cookie'. It's the exact reading level of the average Philly adult. If you give a mouse a cookie, he'll ask for a glass of milk. If you give a fake robot a ride to San Francisco, he'll ask some nerd in Silicon Valley to turn him into a real robot so he can steal your part-time security job.
