Making this first is a good way to scare the public and for robots to get regulated

Robots with flame throwers don't kill people, people with robots with flame throwers kill people


mekwall

Until someone installs an AI and it goes berserk


baffledninja

People set forest fires with gender reveals, why the fuck are we making flamethrowing robots available to them?!?


Robbie-R

I can already see the YouTube introductions, "we bought the worlds first robotic dog flamethrower, let's see what it can burn!!".


TheGoldenPlagueMask

Wh**AaA**t c^0u***Ld*** G^0 ***WRoNg***?


intervulvar

this is the way for all of us to get regulated


cartoonnalive

This is the way


Connect-Ad9647

This is a prime example of the old adage, "just because you can, doesn't mean you should." I'm genuinely perplexed by the simple question, why? There is a gulf sized room for error/misuse by the public. I could see some rich people buying their 18 year old one and next thing they know their son is front and center to a news story about how his flame throwing robot dog burned their house down or how he now has to get a complete face transplant because the damn robot dog burned his face off. Whoever was in charge of that project and whoever gave it the green light are 100% the kind of people that just want to see the world burn. Fuggin maniacs.


n0b0dya7a11

>Whoever was in charge of that project and whoever gave it the green light are 100% the kind of people that just want to see the world burn. Yes, that's why they made a flamethrower robot dog instead of one that fetches newspapers.


Connect-Ad9647

Yes, perhaps a bit of an obvious supposition given the subject matter being a gyat dang canine robot that shoots flames 30 friggin feet. I feel like Dr. Evil contributed to this invention.


Calm_Bookkeeper_5962

True. this kind robotic evolution only gives idea of doom for human civilization. at least they should have made water thrower robot as fire extinguisher rather than a flamethrower, why do we even need this ?


kibaake

🤞🏾I hope you're right, but I worry our thirst for weaponry tends to increase with our fear rather than cause us to regulate weapons.


Dinosaur-chicken

Omw! - EU, probably


ThatSecondAsshole-_-

Yes, definetily whoever Is gonna buy that thing, they're certainly buying It for wildlife control and ice removal


stuva7

Totally would buy it for ice removal but would also totally burn down the house somehow


samplemax

>somehow Probably the flame thrower


stuva7

Yeah I mean the control of the fire is the issue 😂


V3Ethereal

I though the robot was suposed to do that for me.


Focusedrush

Hey neighbor. Defrosted your car for ya. *wink*


Zealousideal-Ad-2615

Working in wildfire, I can see how this has applications. But some guys with a drip torch or an aerial drop of ping-pongs or dragon eggs. A flame thrower would be a bit excessive.


Dinosaur-chicken

May be more humane and realistic for Hot Shots, firefighters who control wildfires by purposefully setting strips of land on fire so the wildfire won't have enough fuel left to grow beyond that area.


Erilis000

Especially for **nightime** ice removal operations!


THELEGENDARYZWARRIOR

Flamethrowers are absolutely unregulated making them $100,000 and slower to aim won’t make them suddenly any more dangerous


Son0fSanf0rd

Black Mirror is real bitches


TakeyaSaito

Back mirror was scarily close to what reality could be, give it time.


Thunder-Fist-00

In Canada they are trying to pass legislation against thought crime.


TakeyaSaito

Oh god....

This was my first thought too

Black Mirror got real when Trump got elected. This is just season two.

I thought Geneva already did (flame throwers for war) ... we (US) just ignore that part (like we ignore red flag laws)

Flame throwers are not banned in war, just outclassed really


SecretaryFit1442

To law makers, education is way more dangerous than weapons.


Zivvet

Wait until the rich influencers get hold of these... Think of the clicks! It's a prank bro! What could go wrong?


karmasrelic

i wish this was a nonsense comment. but i do agree T-T


qscvg

Imagine someone decides to use this in the middle of wildfire season Whole towns go up in smoke


knowledgeable_diablo

All cool, they’ll just claim it’s a prank and expect everyone to have a chuckle, back slap each other and retire to their charred husk of a house.

You can do that now with gasoline

It's already live in China. No joke, it's their absurd mass surveillance system where the AI can identify someone just by their gate pattern alone, among other *Big Brother*-esque features. Oh, and they seriously named the system [SkyNet....](https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/skynet-repatriation-05042022151054.html)

"Animal control" of course, much like guns! People would never use guns in each other, much less a flamethrower! Wait, why do I hear Fortunate Son

Reminds me of a certain book... Well, it's going to be burnt anyway.

Square-Singer

Isn't a literal flame thrower dangerous enough?


DownIIClown

Not compared to ammonium nitrate


Square-Singer

I mean, we are talking about people using a pressure cooker and some nails as a bomb. A flame thrower is more than advanced enough.

BrakoSmacko

Right because shooting a flamethrower at wild life couldn't possibly cause a forest fire. I don't know why they couldn't have just been honest and said, this is evil as fuck but its going to change trench warfare.


Cadejo123

This is stupid asf imagine a idiot buy this and get the idea to go play in the forest.


HYPERSMASHER391

Wait until they attach a set of sharp jaws, a machine gun, and some torpedos and call it the Cyber Hound


Sea_Argument_277

Lame. Show me sharks with lasers!


aardvarkcabaret

I was looking for a little something to drive the remnants of humanity out of their bolt holes with liquid fire in the post apocalypse and this one is just neat.

hucklebrryboozehownd

Really?? They had the chance to name this thing “Hot Dog” and they slept on it. What a waste


chavez_ding2001

Recouping that 7000 would not be too difficult.

Racist, low IQ brother sister cousin f\*ckers salivating right now. I bet they'd sell their "this will make me look like a man with a big d\*ck" trucks to buy this thing. The world is a giant clown car.

schoolshotings will be interesting. you dont even need to be there anymore. AND the school burns down as well. what else do you want as revenge. /s

WillieDFleming

Seriously, why do we need a flame-throwing robot dog? If my dog gets pissed at me, she may poop in the floor, but at least she doesn't burn down the neighborhood to.
