I'm just wondering about the internal components on mall cop robots like the Knightscope K5. It must be using a GPU and some pretty nice cameras, right? These are common models found in the United States. I have worked closely with knockoff BD dogs, I'm not talking about those, I'm talking about the Dalek looking things.

Inside what? I've never heard of this. They don't shoot people in the dick, do they?

Just remember that abducted robot cops can sometimes remember their past even if you erase their memories. But good luck on your new project

Especially Cyberdyne systems, they are a learning computer.

Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s vulnerable to a short-range EMP burst. Just make sure to leave your phone and smartwatch at home.

Local municipalities only have so much in their budgets for this crap, and these things are very expensive. If enough of them fail/are destroyed/go missing forever… well, the local budget won’t be able to keep replacing them indefinitely…

There aren't short-range EMP burst emitters, that's sci-fi pretend. These are real robot flashlight caddies they deploy at outdoor malls in Ohio.

The giant suppositories are usually using nvidia (like everyone else in ai). The cuda/tensor cores are just easier to tap than the AMD equivalent.

Have you seen a teardown or something like that anywhere?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

nope. and you won't see that anywhere, either. those things are ridiculously expensive (and generally less capable than humans.). IfIxit can't exactly afford to buy one. (well. they could. probably. but it's a limited audience.)

I happen to have some inside knowledge on a particularly laughable suppository, though.

People throw electric scooters and bikes in lakes and rivers the day they are released in the wild, I'm sure someone would take one and see what's inside before throwing it in the water

Are you really comparing a device that costs a hundred or two hundred dollars to buy in bulk and is an incredibly annoying nuisance to anyone who has to deal with them being left wherever the fuck the person driving them decides is 'good enough'.... to a robot that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars with decades of R&D behind them....??

In virtually every implementation, they're operated inside a security envelope that would help make it extremely difficult to steal. most of the robots have their own security team behind them, including people that will look for it when it is stolen.

Even if you do manage to lift a several-hundred-pound robot and run away with it; and get it to somewhere it's onboard telemetry (including GPS, camera and audio. Probably also ultrasonic) can't broadcast... and then get it someplace safe enough to do the tear down.... posting pictures on the internet may as well paint a target on their back. and just for the record, the painters are the kind of people who own companies like blackwater.

No, they probably won't send their goons after you. But you did just embarrass them...they ain't gonna take that lying down.

That's it.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
