    A bunch of people snapped pictures of my robot dog. Several people asked me questions. Was it being used for surveillance? (No.)

    Are you sure?

    Why? Jesus Christ. Unless you are planning on taking it apart and reading it’s circuitry, don’t patronize this kind of shit.

      On a sunny morning in June, I walked to work with a quadruped robot beside me. I’ve never gotten more attention from strangers.

      A living dog isn’t that easy to fool. There is a dead object moving, like a falling broomstick, or any other of the human’s toys.

    a real dog wouldve been cheaper, and cheaper to maintaine, what happens if the company goes under and you can repair it.

      But when you go on holiday, your “real” dog can’t be just switched off!

      One is a toy, the other is a living creature man.
