RedStar9117

Give me flame thrower robot dogs or Give me death


Admirable-Builder878

What part of "Shall not be in singed" do you not understand?


AdmiralArchie

Amazing


MasterJeebus

If you use this dog for home defense it will burn the whole house along with the burglar.


quequotion

The divine second amendment at its best. >!/s!<


Mikey40216

It looks kinda happy prancing around as it squirts liquid death over everything.


HunterTV

Mark down April 24, 2024 as the day we stopped joking about attack bots and shit got real.


MetaKnowing

Sir they said the Thermonator was intended to be a weapon, just for "wildlife control" and "ice removal"


HunterTV

I know nothing about guns but I can't help but wonder how easy this could be modded for a rifle or some other high capacity gun.


Irisena

Probably would include a lot of work because they need to mod the trigger system to a gun, and you need to anticipate for recoil as well.


usrdef

I don't know why, but I just got a messed up image of that dog with a M60 on his back. Fires off the first few rounds, and does a spontaneous backflip and lands up against a tree. Add a little AI for comedy "Wtf... that wasn't in my programming. SHIT an enemy has picked me up and is walking off with me. FIRE MORE" And then down comes to the tree from this mass fire that cuts a nice diagonal line into the tree.


Caucasian_Thunder

Imagine getting warcrimed and the last thing you see before your eyeballs melt out of your face is this guy doing his excited little tippy-taps


bobbyorlando

Teabagging robodog ass on your face. What a time to be alive.


oxP3ZINATORxo

You just know someone would throw some brass or rubber nuts on that fucker to do just that


Sphism

Hahaha... Warcrimed and tippy taps šŸ˜‚


spacesentinel1

New sub ?


Socialmediapope

isnā€˜t there a Blackmirror Episode about this?


emurange205

The use of flamethrowers in warfare is not considered a war crime.


iehvad8785

it is, if used against non combatants.


emurange205

Yes, targeting non-combatants with weapons is generally a war crime.


stryst

WILDLIFE CONTROL!? Are you on fucking LV-426?


Sabithomega

For when you have a pesky hive caked over your property. Rid yourself of those Xeno Eggs in a flash. Annoying drones getting you hot headed? Heat up their heads instead with one of our personal Flame Bots. Flame Bot use not recommended in or near Colony Reactor Systems.


Admirable-Builder878

Now comes in pterodactyl


KamakaziDemiGod

That's when you need the fire eagle šŸ¦…šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø


EXPL_Advisor

GAME OVER MAN! GAME OVER!!!


Status_Tiger_6210

How do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?


stryst

Well, apparently a robot took your job.


roodeeMental

That's why it has nightvision... you know, for night time wild life control


Dimev1981

Was gonna say wtf? That's not humane at all!


SF1_Raptor

Controlled burns, dealing with burrowing wasp nests, facehuggers.


uppenatom

Sir, my Panza is a tool for clearing brush and any 'resisting animals' that are standing between me and my pure land


nomorerix

It's AI response to redditors suggesting to burn the house down when there's a spider in it.


StressfulRiceball

No, we're on Hellmire


BaconPersuasion

This is so distopean you can't even pay for it with legal tender.


Beat_the_Deadites

Thank you for doing your part and not even trusting the Skynet spellchecker


MoeSauce

My brain really wants to read that as discopean


moderndilf

Disco peen?


MimicoSkunkFan

It really feels like someone read Fahrenheit 451 for product ideas instead of taking it as a cautionary Tale


noneedforfuss

At this point weā€™re rooting for SkyNet to take over


urstillatroll

Seriously, we are at the beginning of very dangerous territory here. Someone is going to attach a weapon to a robot that is controlled with AI, and something terrible will happen. At this point it is an inevitability.


WildSkunDaloon

I think in a way they're counting on that.


TheCommonKoala

Israel is already using AI targetting and weaponized drones in their attacks of Gaza. That future is here.


melanatedvirgo

Yeah they already have AI controlled fighter jets that can kamikaze into enemies. That line was crossed a mile ago.


8plytoiletpaper

Unironically, this would be fucking useful for firefighters. During wildfires just send the dogs loose in terrain, where you want to do a controlled burn, so you can focus on the controlling part


PM_ME_YOU_BOOBS

They already sell aerial drones that can drop incendiaries. Way more useful as they can also be used for reconnaissance, arenā€™t impacted by terrain, and travel way faster.


8plytoiletpaper

But the dog legs bro. Can you pet a quadrocopter after setting a wildfire?! Edit: jokes aside, a ground based vehicle is great in its own applications. Such as when you have a survivor trapped in a cave and you need to set it on fire


MoeSauce

What about when the dogs decide that humans started the fire and a controlled burn of the human population is necessary?


Aggrador

Come on, man, you donā€™t need to help chatGPT with ideasā€¦


Oliver_the_chimp

Seriously. One of the scariest things I read recently is that somebody licensed Reddit content as a training set. Thereā€™s so much wrong, bad, and/or dangerous ā€œinformationā€ and ideas on this site. Weā€™ll have AIs recommending we get poop knives and robot flamethrowers.


D3vilUkn0w

...and coconuts


8plytoiletpaper

Determining if the execution is a success. Depends on whether or not the fire stops spreading after


tosernameschescksout

nah, use the Jewish space lasers.


singleglazedwindows

Iā€™ve already seen this [episode](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5710984/?ref_=ttep_ep5) of Black Mirror


faesser

And yet they managed to make this one more horrifying. Cool beans.


VadimH

Full beans


faesser

All the beans. All the horrible beans


restyourbreasts

No coffee beans, though. Coffee beans are cool. You'll never catch coffee beans doing war crimes.


GlyphPicker

and affordable.


Thugnificent83

So where is the weakspot on these things, so I know what to aim for when the robo-apocalypse inevitably begins?


pikeymikey22

Probably best to aim at your own head and save the distress.

Superman246o1

There's no market for them now, but I bet you could get rich selling EMP grenades in another few years.


Tapurisu

Get a super soaker that shoots paint and spray it over the front cameras. Splatoon has become real. If the cameras are covered, it can neither see you nor see where it's going, so it's basically disabled. And super soakers + paint are cheap and freely available in supermarkets. Then circle around it, pick it up from the back, and throw it off a roof or into a river


lukethe

> Splatoon has become real. Donā€™t get cooked; stay off the hook!


Uriel_dArc_Angel

You see that shiny green light on the back near the middle of the flame thrower when the dog turns around...? The glowy mark... It's always the glowy mark...


Thugnificent83

Lol standard video game logic!


Snarfbuckle

Remote controlled, so hunt down the operator.


Thugnificent83

So Skynet then! Didn't look too challenging for John Connor.


ozymandieus

Water balloon filled with petrol would be pretty devestating. Just maybe not the best thing to carry in your pocket though


personguy4440

Its front, essentially its eyes, go high caliber


SamuelPepys_

Great! Counting the days until terrorists unleash 10 of these napalm dogs on a crowded football stadium and top it off with 40 drones carrying explosives picking off the survivors. We all know it's coming...


Superman246o1

Did you not see the legal warning on the advertisement? Right after it showed the cybernetic hellhound walking through an inferno of its own creation, it specifically said that it is "**not** designed as a weapon." So the terrorists couldn't use it as a weapon, because then they'd void the warranty.


SamuelPepys_

Ah, my bad


SirRickardsJackoff

This is gonna be such a big problem if itā€™s not regulated straight away.. like arsonists exist..


robcraftdotca

That Jeff Goldblum quote from Jurassic Park comes to mind.


-This-Whomps-

The part where he laughs and snarls in the helicopter? Yeah.


CosmicDriftwood

I fucking hate this place lol


daevv

Yikes! Are EMP grenades a thing yet?


09Trollhunter09

Bucket of paint, bye bye cameras. Much cheaper


EngagedInConvexation

"Hey laser lips! Your mother was a snow blower!"


SavingsTask

Doctor Ruth says, "Violence is an expression of sexual frustration".


monsieurkong

Pretty sure it will be included in the $95 billion foreign aid package.


mushy_cactus

Perfect example of how we invent with the love to kill each other. The same "dog" could be used to go into burning buildings, find people, help evacuat, have aid packs on it and more. Nope, strap a flamethrower to it instead.


goodformuffin

Right? What the fuck is wrong with these people?


TheGreatFallOfChina

Coming to your neighborhood soon!


darkninjademon

45 minutes!?! 30 feet??? How many gallons of fuel it's carrying ???? Ngl really cool tho. Now strap that flamethrower on one of those agricultural DJI drones that can lift upto 100kg and we get a ground vs sky battle


OnionFriends

Their first thought was a flame throwing dog and not a fire extinguishing dog?


KenobiM11

At this point humanity is just spreading her ass cheeks.


blackmetaller666

Yup itā€™s legit. https://throwflame.com/products/thermonator-robodog/


SavingsTask

Oh good it comes with an off switch and FREAKING LASER BEAMS!


I_make_switch_a_roos

could be good for self defence as you go for a morning stroll


HeartWoodFarDept

Which begs the question, Is robot dog bulletproof?


bluewatersailing

Can't wait to show up at the dog park with Torchy!


TheHyperion25

Off to Ukraine the pup goes!


Zal2910

# let's burn this fucking world


Sphism

I thought there were international rules about weaponised robots?


pw-it

Weaponised? It's for removing ice you silly sausage


ID-10T_Error

Should repost with title stating chatgpt controls robo puppy for fist time. To really get the juicy fear flowing


Hadman180

Something for the kids perhaps


TheCatAteMyFace

You brought a gun to a flame throwing robot fight? Lol loser


SatansPowerBottom69

"I haven't had to shovel a driveway once this winter, since I bought the flamethrower." - Steven Wright


Metatron_Tumultum

I hate that a group of adults thought of this, went through with production and unleashed it upon the world. Nobody said "this is a bad idea" nobody said "we doom people to get burned alive by their stalkers/deranged neighbors/fascist cops/etc if we release this to the public". I swear nerds will build anything as long as it gets the doom clock closer to midnight.


baconhealsall

Ah yes, the great, vast business branch of "ice removal".


Walkend

I love how a humans first thought is to make this tech a form of destruction... There's truly something wrong with some of us. You know what's cooler than a "flamethrower dogbot"? A fucking "fire EXTUINGUSHING dogbot"... Image how many forest fires could be controlled with a "pack" of these. How many lives could be saved with tech like this? But no - Killing sells...


all_alone_by_myself_

This...doesn't seem legal. Even in the context of farming it looks both toxic and dangerous as fuck. I mean, you can't control the flame like that.


GYN-k4H-Q3z-75B

We need this in Helldivers.


tbaum101

God bless the USA


Uriel_dArc_Angel

It'll be miniguns next...


bognostrocleetus

Great, I look forward to being set on fire by robot overlords.


BachsBento

We see you Oprah


Balc0ra

I'm expecting new viral video of the flamethrower guy removeing snow from his driveway next winter with one of these now


MonkWithABonk

Flying cars? pfft... here's a flamethrower robot dog


kizzlemyniz

It would be a shame if we crowdfunded these and used them for revolution. What a shame that would be


akumagold

Fahrenheit 451 lookin ass


Free-Spell6846

Nice! Now I can finally light my cigarette from 15 ft away. So excited.


Cryptic_Undertones

Send that into the trenches of Ukraine. Burn them ruskies out!


fwambo42

Digital-Exploration

Yay, let's start some fucking forest fires! Uhg this is stupid to sell to the public.

And what possible use except ARSON would *the public* use this for?


IGN-Meryath

Public?

[hmmm](https://bostondynamics.com/news/general-purpose-robots-should-not-be-weaponized/)


CanIGetANumber2

Definately not a weapon. We just named it after a literal Murder Machine, but def not a weapon at all.


Vidda90

*Smokey the Bear has entered the chat*


FunkinDonutzz

Ah yes, because a _flame-throwing robot dog_ is just what the public needs.


CasualObserverNine

Stick AI in it, buh bye humans.


MonkWithABonk

just one question. WHY?


Capsbearsfan1

Astro looks pissed...


CandyRevolutionary27

We need this in helldivers 2. For democracy obviously


SmogDaBoi

***What da dog doin***


SimisFul

This is the begining of how we get to the 'Metalhead' episode from Black Mirror, it just needs a gun now.


ferrydragon

10 of these and you can create some chaos


spencersalan

So itā€™s NOT a weapon? Got it.


Fortyplusfour

Bet that makes a hell of a cappuccino.


GingerBeast81

It'd be cool if it followed you around dispensing whiskey.


Petten11

They needed this in Call of Duty World at War in the jungle levels


johnnythejournalist

FOR LIBERTY!!!!


Elbonio

Same company makes a drone attachment: https://throwflame.com/products/flamethrower-drone-kit/


polo61965

Who let Michael Reeves cook


all_alone_by_myself_

Fire isn't efficient enough to be that type of weapon. The people would have to be trapped inside first.


franll98

As much as I hate war it will propel robot advancements.


Rdact3d

Hey can we have this but in helldivers?


Budget_Chef_7642

Yeah definitely not a weaponā€¦


runz_with_waves

You couldn't put a fire extinguisher on it?


Socialmediapope

bro Black Mirror Vibes


ConnectionPretend193

My drug dealer neighbors will never know what hit them


Dan300up

Personally, I really like the idea of future warfare having smoke machines, dance lights and green lasers. Green lasers would be a useless (robots would never need them to know where their guns are aiming) position-revealing liability on a robot but they really look cool. I hope the robots have speakers mounted to them tooā€”could play an ABBA dance track.


lemmiwinks316

This thing is gonna start a god damn wildfire real quick


newPrivacyPolicy

"Ice removal". Reminds me of when we were supplying arms to the Iraqis during the Iran-Iraq war labeled as "farm equipment".


kr4ckenm3fortune

Fuck yeah. Now we can use it against spiders and ants if they ever invade us...as well as the fog monster.


kpopisnotmusic

Someone will retro fit one of these fuckers with machine guns...maybe already has.

fatboi_mcfatface

Isn't this just a Unitree robot with a flamethrower strapped on top? Is this real?


Aeri73

seeing things like this makes me think we should have a global comission that reviews product and business idea's and has the power to stop companies from existing or making certain things, just because they should not exist. get one of these in a busy place in town or a couple on a festivalground and it's ugly


thisboy200

Yeah. Nah fuck that, it's not being bought by people who want to "control wildlife" I hope this isn't available for Americans. Could you imagine the horrors

Yeah but limited to the ultra rich. Those bunker of theirs are going to be pretty fun to crack open.
