Agnieszka Pilat calls herself a ‘propaganda artist’ for robots. But when those machines are sold to governments, police and military, what’s the line between art and an ad?

      sounds like typical manufactured outrage from journalists trying to improve their CTR on their non-news…

        But robot dogs don’t have any of the issues that typically cause people to hate dogs, such as pooping all over the sidewalks, or barking loudly in an apartment building.

          Why would you hate dogs for poop on the sidewalk? What are they supposed to do? Hate the owners that can’t be bothered to pick up after themselves.

            Well of course nobody hates the individual dogs personally. It just means the general sentiment of “this place would be so much nicer without all this shit”.
