We're being governed ruled by a geriatric Alzheimer patient/puppet whose strings are being pulled by an elitist oligarchy who believe they can manage the world... imagine the utter maniacal, sociopathic hubris!
Some people on this forum will rejoice as long as it's a private company and not a government that enslaves us with these robots.

I was thinking about starting a thread on Chinese drones.
Here’s another:

A 7-foot-tall robot at Dallas Love Field is watching for unmasked travelers and curbside loiterers

Kyle Arnold (08 April 2022)
Yes, those 7-foot-tall machines at Dallas Love Field are watching you. They want to make sure you’re wearing a mask if you’re boarding a flight or not parking too long at the curb if you’re picking up a returning traveler.
Love Field is testing out two Security Control Observation Towers at the airport, one near baggage claim and another near security checkpoints, to figure out whether robotic assistants can both help customers get around and warn passengers who are breaking rules. The robots can also airport security and operations in case more help is needed.
While not quite Robocop, the machines, nicknamed SCOT, were installed a month ago to “determine if they are capable of efficiently supplementing current airport operations,” said Love Field spokeswoman Lauren Rounds.
The robots look like many other kiosks at the airport with a touch screen with wayfinding information, maps of parking garages and directions to ride-hailing and shuttle pickup. But SCOT is much smarter, capable of detecting what people are wearing and even whether they’ve got on a face mask.
Airports have been at the forefront of technology, including facial recognition and other biometrics, for years, a trend that worries privacy advocates who say there are few, if any, laws or guidelines about how emerging technology should be used. Amazon took criticism in 2019 after testing its Rekognition technology with police departments before deciding to ban law enforcement from using it two years later.
But private businesses and airports have been more aggressive, and the COVID-19 pandemic has spurred more emphasis on touchless interactions using computers. Fort Worth-based American Airlines uses facial recognition for some customers to check bags and airports such as DFW partner with the U.S. State Department for facial recognition technology for incoming passengers.
Surveillance technology hasn’t stopped progressing because the rest of the world was in the midst of a worldwide pandemic. In fact, more and more institutions and companies are using artificial intelligence to monitor spaces, said Adam Schwartz, an attorney for digital privacy rights group Electronic Frontier Foundation.
“It is concerning that an airport has installed a new system of artificial intelligence,” Schwartz said. “It raises a lot of questions about what that technology is doing.”
Love Field is one of two airports to start using the technology from the company Robotic Assistance Devices, said the company’s CEO and founder Steve Reinharz. The other airport, which Reinharz said he was not able to disclose, uses a related technology from the company in parking lots to detour thefts and break-ins.
“This has more of a full-circle purpose to be a regular, physical deterrent,” he said. “That’s the direction the industry has to go because we have some significant labor issues.”
The robotic SCOT kiosks can detect passengers and behavior based on rules set by each user, such as the airport. For instance, people driving up to the curbside drop-off area late at night might get a series of verbal warnings that escalate in volume and severity. Finally, the machine can call police, notify on-site security or even allow someone to make an announcement remotely.
The machines can also detect flagged individuals based on what they are wearing, especially if they are in areas susceptible to crime, such as baggage claim, Reinharz said.
License plate-scanning cameras can issue warnings to suspicious vehicles or prompt cars to move along if they’ve been waiting too long in passenger pick-up lanes.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company said it also pushed a technology that can detect whether subjects are wearing face masks. Face masks have been a point of contention on airplanes but remain a federal mandate until at least April 18.
“The units currently make scheduled and detection-based announcements directed toward our passengers and visitors,” Rounds said. “Some of these focus on reducing vehicular congestion at our curb using license plate recognition and increasing federal mask compliance using facial recognition technology while others provide standard information.”
The airport isn’t paying for the kiosks now while they test the capabilities, but Dallas Love Field did pay about $4,000 to have them shipped to Texas.

From the text captions in the embedded video (see the tweet at the provided link):
The EU is putting lie-detecting robots on its borders.
The experimental system iBorderCtrl will be launched as a part of a 6-month pilot program and placed on non-EU borders in Hungary, Latvia, and Greece.
The system will ask each traveler questions such as "What is in your luggage?" while simultaneously scanning for their face for "micro-gestures" that indicate if they are lying.
If the bot detects someone is lying, it will alert and send a human agent for further assistance. ["further assistance" LOL - OB]
Officials say the bot will be calibrated based on a person's ethnicity, language, and gender.
More than 700M people enter the EU each year.
Officials hope this new system will make processing more efficient.
It is not designed to block people from entering the country.
Tests of an earlier system saw an accuracy rate of 76%.
Officials say they believe they can get that rate up to 85%.

I guess they developed an algorithm that lets them tell all the LGBTQQIP2SAA+ apart.
Should be outlawed by local ordinance as public safety hazards, knocking over kids is all you need. No city councilor is going to lose votes banning these monstrosities and saving jobs for friendly security guards who can give directions.
It's time to vote with your dollars. I always shop at the walgreens before going to the cvs because wg has human cashiers and I want them to keep having jobs. Versus cvs which has mostly check-out machines. I don't even mind standing in line a little longer. I think a lot of millennials doing this too, waiting for the human. It's the way we can all create the world we want to live in. Someday a mall manager will catch on and use it as a marketing point. "All human security no robocops." There are plenty of malls where I can spend my money. If I don't like one I can cross the street.

Do these have taser, and bullet firing capabilities? Can they perform chokeholds and put suspects in restraints? How much energy do they use? Are they prioritized when the grid is suffering from high usage/consumption? Go Government! Thank God they are here to keep us safe.

"Trump was just a chuckle-headed sucker" is not an effective sales pitch.

The technology to build autonomous killer drones and robots exists in the public domain now. Just saying. It is scary that this simulated drone turned on its simulated operator though. The Azimov Robotics Laws need to be enforced.

"We as a country have lost faith and confidence in freedom." -- Ron Paul
"It can be a challenge to follow the pronouncements of President Trump, as he often seems to change his position on any number of items from week to week, or from day to day, or even from minute to minute." -- Ron Paul
This is escalating quickly
Santa Monica Police Department has now implemented using drones to fight crime. Although crime in Los Angeles, CA is getting out of hand, I am not sure using drones will be the answer.
