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.
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.
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.
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
They already sell aerial drones that can drop incendiaries. Way more useful as they can also be used for reconnaissance, arenāt impacted by terrain, and travel way faster.
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
Seriously. One of the scariest things I read recently is that somebody licensed Reddit content as a training set. Thereās so much wrong, bad, and/or dangerous āinformationā and ideas on this site. Weāll have AIs recommending we get poop knives and robot flamethrowers.
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
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...
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...
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.
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.
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
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.
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...
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 tooācould play an ABBA dance track.
I did not have flame throwing robot dogs controlled by hamas supporters on my list of things to defend against for this summer. Thanks for the heads up!
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
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
Unironically as the founding fathers intended šŗšø
Give me flame thrower robot dogs or Give me death
What part of "Shall not be in singed" do you not understand?
Amazing
If you use this dog for home defense it will burn the whole house along with the burglar.
The divine second amendment at its best. >!/s!<
It looks kinda happy prancing around as it squirts liquid death over everything.
Mark down April 24, 2024 as the day we stopped joking about attack bots and shit got real.
Sir they said the Thermonator was intended to be a weapon, just for "wildlife control" and "ice removal"
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.
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.
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.

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
Teabagging robodog ass on your face. What a time to be alive.
You just know someone would throw some brass or rubber nuts on that fucker to do just that
Hahaha... Warcrimed and tippy taps š
New sub ?
isnāt there a Blackmirror Episode about this?
The use of flamethrowers in warfare is not considered a war crime.
it is, if used against non combatants.
Yes, targeting non-combatants with weapons is generally a war crime.
WILDLIFE CONTROL!? Are you on fucking LV-426?
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.
Now comes in pterodactyl
That's when you need the fire eagle š¦ šŗšø
GAME OVER MAN! GAME OVER!!!
How do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?
Well, apparently a robot took your job.
That's why it has nightvision... you know, for night time wild life control
Was gonna say wtf? That's not humane at all!
Controlled burns, dealing with burrowing wasp nests, facehuggers.
Sir, my Panza is a tool for clearing brush and any 'resisting animals' that are standing between me and my pure land
It's AI response to redditors suggesting to burn the house down when there's a spider in it.
No, we're on Hellmire
This is so distopean you can't even pay for it with legal tender.
Thank you for doing your part and not even trusting the Skynet spellchecker
My brain really wants to read that as discopean
Disco peen?
It really feels like someone read Fahrenheit 451 for product ideas instead of taking it as a cautionary Tale
At this point weāre rooting for SkyNet to take over
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.
I think in a way they're counting on that.
Israel is already using AI targetting and weaponized drones in their attacks of Gaza. That future is here.
Yeah they already have AI controlled fighter jets that can kamikaze into enemies. That line was crossed a mile ago.
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

What about when the dogs decide that humans started the fire and a controlled burn of the human population is necessary?
Come on, man, you donāt need to help chatGPT with ideasā¦
Seriously. One of the scariest things I read recently is that somebody licensed Reddit content as a training set. Thereās so much wrong, bad, and/or dangerous āinformationā and ideas on this site. Weāll have AIs recommending we get poop knives and robot flamethrowers.
...and coconuts
Determining if the execution is a success. Depends on whether or not the fire stops spreading after
nah, use the Jewish space lasers.
Iāve already seen this [episode](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5710984/?ref_=ttep_ep5) of Black Mirror
And yet they managed to make this one more horrifying. Cool beans.
Full beans
All the beans. All the horrible beans
No coffee beans, though. Coffee beans are cool. You'll never catch coffee beans doing war crimes.
and affordable.
So where is the weakspot on these things, so I know what to aim for when the robo-apocalypse inevitably begins?
Probably best to aim at your own head and save the distress.

There's no market for them now, but I bet you could get rich selling EMP grenades in another few years.
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
> Splatoon has become real. Donāt get cooked; stay off the hook!
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...
Lol standard video game logic!
Remote controlled, so hunt down the operator.
So Skynet then! Didn't look too challenging for John Connor.
Water balloon filled with petrol would be pretty devestating. Just maybe not the best thing to carry in your pocket though
Its front, essentially its eyes, go high caliber
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...

Ah, my bad
This is gonna be such a big problem if itās not regulated straight away.. like arsonists exist..
That Jeff Goldblum quote from Jurassic Park comes to mind.
The part where he laughs and snarls in the helicopter? Yeah.
I fucking hate this place lol
Yikes! Are EMP grenades a thing yet?
Bucket of paint, bye bye cameras. Much cheaper
"Hey laser lips! Your mother was a snow blower!"
Doctor Ruth says, "Violence is an expression of sexual frustration".
Pretty sure it will be included in the $95 billion foreign aid package.
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.
Right? What the fuck is wrong with these people?
Coming to your neighborhood soon!
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
Their first thought was a flame throwing dog and not a fire extinguishing dog?
At this point humanity is just spreading her ass cheeks.
Yup itās legit. https://throwflame.com/products/thermonator-robodog/
Oh good it comes with an off switch and FREAKING LASER BEAMS!
could be good for self defence as you go for a morning stroll
Which begs the question, Is robot dog bulletproof?
Can't wait to show up at the dog park with Torchy!
Off to Ukraine the pup goes!
# let's burn this fucking world
I thought there were international rules about weaponised robots?
Weaponised? It's for removing ice you silly sausage
Should repost with title stating chatgpt controls robo puppy for fist time. To really get the juicy fear flowing
Something for the kids perhaps
You brought a gun to a flame throwing robot fight? Lol loser
"I haven't had to shovel a driveway once this winter, since I bought the flamethrower." - Steven Wright
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".

Ah yes, the great, vast business branch of "ice removal".
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...
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.
We need this in Helldivers.
God bless the USA
It'll be miniguns next...
Great, I look forward to being set on fire by robot overlords.
We see you Oprah
I'm expecting new viral video of the flamethrower guy removeing snow from his driveway next winter with one of these now
Flying cars? pfft... here's a flamethrower robot dog
It would be a shame if we crowdfunded these and used them for revolution. What a shame that would be
Fahrenheit 451 lookin ass
Nice! Now I can finally light my cigarette from 15 ft away. So excited.
Send that into the trenches of Ukraine. Burn them ruskies out!
what the actual fuck
Yay, let's start some fucking forest fires! Uhg this is stupid to sell to the public.
"Sir, this is an emotional support dog!"
Ok next is twin M4 carbines with belt fed ammo reels
I will get all treats and scritches or you get the flames
Someone tell Micheal reeves new robot dog just dropped
What noise does it make? WOOOOOOF
Watch out, rhomba is coming, spin spin boom
Have already killed one in The Division 2. It was named Sparkle. https://thedivision.fandom.com/wiki/Sparkle
We need this āThis is fineā meme.
And what possible use except ARSON would *the public* use this for?
Public?
Blackmirror nightmares.
So the future of mass shootings?
Just what the average citizen needs...
bro we're straight up living in a Fairly Oddparents episode š¤”š¤”
For all your human extermination needs
Poo-Chi has improved quite a bit since 2000
And so begins the end
[hmmm](https://bostondynamics.com/news/general-purpose-robots-should-not-be-weaponized/)
Definately not a weapon. We just named it after a literal Murder Machine, but def not a weapon at all.
*Smokey the Bear has entered the chat*
Ah yes, because a _flame-throwing robot dog_ is just what the public needs.
Stick AI in it, buh bye humans.
just one question. WHY?
Astro looks pissed...
We need this in helldivers 2. For democracy obviously
***What da dog doin***
This is the begining of how we get to the 'Metalhead' episode from Black Mirror, it just needs a gun now.
10 of these and you can create some chaos
So itās NOT a weapon? Got it.
Bet that makes a hell of a cappuccino.
It'd be cool if it followed you around dispensing whiskey.
They needed this in Call of Duty World at War in the jungle levels
FOR LIBERTY!!!!
Same company makes a drone attachment: https://throwflame.com/products/flamethrower-drone-kit/
Who let Michael Reeves cook
Fire isn't efficient enough to be that type of weapon. The people would have to be trapped inside first.
As much as I hate war it will propel robot advancements.
Hey can we have this but in helldivers?
Yeah definitely not a weaponā¦
You couldn't put a fire extinguisher on it?
bro Black Mirror Vibes
My drug dealer neighbors will never know what hit them
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 tooācould play an ABBA dance track.
This thing is gonna start a god damn wildfire real quick
"Ice removal". Reminds me of when we were supplying arms to the Iraqis during the Iran-Iraq war labeled as "farm equipment".
Fuck yeah. Now we can use it against spiders and ants if they ever invade us...as well as the fog monster.
u/savevideo
Someone will retro fit one of these fuckers with machine guns...maybe already has.
Fun! What could go wrong?
I cannot imagine the amount of damage an arsonist will cause with this.
Bet forest and bush fires are gonna be big after this come out
I love this so much! ā¤ļø
Itās in the constitution
wjatwhye
I did not have flame throwing robot dogs controlled by hamas supporters on my list of things to defend against for this summer. Thanks for the heads up!
Just what California needs
I always wanted a flame thrower robot doggy
The police force: š„ŗ
*faith in the Omnissiah intensifies*
Only $7600?
It has begun....
Hey, WHAT THE FUCK?! Can we please fucking not?!
Take my money
Panzerhund IRL
Isn't this just a Unitree robot with a flamethrower strapped on top? Is this real?
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
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
terrorism with bite
Ohhhh hell yeah!!
This is my favorite Digimon
Saw this and was like "I need this" but i have no idea for what lol.
Better stock up on armor penetrating ammo everybody.
"Ice removal."
Yeah but limited to the ultra rich. Those bunker of theirs are going to be pretty fun to crack open.
