This is most likely a joke. It hasn't been confirmed if the powder is/ were drugs.

Moscow Police: Oh, silly me. Did I say packages? I meant package—singular. 😏

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What? Two packages?

One still? None left?

i mean, those robots are like $50k a piece minimum right? and they're not particularly fast. it wouldn't make sense to use them as drug mules

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That doesn't look like a Spot but one of the cheaper copies.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Just some brief searching shows me you can get them for under $1000 these days. It might actually be cost-effective.

Okay, you can quit snorting that anthrax now

Sounds extremely fishy. Those robo-dogs are expensive, they are slow - too slow to really act as couriers, and this is supposed to be Moscow - A city in a country under rather strict tech embagos, where you can't get them at the next corner shop.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I can't tell too much from the picture but I believe that's a Chinese robot and China will ship to Russia from what I understand. And I've seen those as low as $1600 and anyone can order them online. It still sounds fishy maybe the cops want an excuse to get their own

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

yep china has several, my concern is the range on these are dogshit.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

Dogshit

Lol

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Not to mention the Russian police uniform doesn't look like that.

Chinese tech is not embargoed and, despite less cool videos, actually widely deployed.

This is exactly the Cyberpunk we expected. Cyberpunk has never been shy about being a dystopia.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

Practically the definition of the genre. It's not typically "punk" if it's a glistening utopia.

Using robots to do conduct black market trade under the nose of the police sounds extremely punk.

Nah, I'm kinda okay with that. Better than thought-crime surveillance Cyberpunk dystopia.

Why not skip the neon bright lights and just go straight to a full on 1984?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I see your communist plot to combat light pollution. The sky must be filled with lights from advertisements or else you wouldn't know about the products that we already advertise on your phone and in your dreams. Stay in line citizen.

The 3 industries that will always have the money and be on the forefront of innovation:

  1. Military
  2. Drugs
  3. Porn

not so much if we'd legalize drugs.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

Something something big pharma....

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Oh trust me... They would still have the money.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

This would probably be cheaper to send over the border with drugs too.

Im actually amazed that while we supposedly have robo dogs we still have photos so blurry that you cant see shit.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I mean it's just matter of priority I suppose, if something is relatively cheap and effective there's no need to invest into 4k or higher quality cameras. Especially when you don't have the storage for a week of footage or few days that loop over each other. But that's just my assumption, if 4k becomes the norm and storage gets bigger and cheaper we might see good quality security footage.

Trivially traceable. Just follow the dog (discretely).

To be honest I'm more worried because of Moscow than any robot dog.

Remember to tip your police officer and you'll be fine.

Hi, is this robodog still available?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

It's hard for me to believe this strictly because A) those things are fucking expensive, and B) aren't they like ....hella fucking fast??

That's odd.
I think most of the time they just use dead drops, it's much safer.

Courier sticks drugs to a tree, walks away, sends a geo location of a drop to a buyer. Done.

Druggie just has to geolocate it, never meet in person.

In this case the dystopia is the prohibition and storm troopers, not the robot dog.

When can I get paid thousands of dollars to carry a USB drive 5 miles, assuming I manage to get away from a cybernetically enhanced Dolph Lundgren?

I was expecting this from quadcopters. I'd have thought they'd be more difficult to catch

Robot Drug Delivery Dog is so much better than Robot NYPD Mass-Surveillance dog that I almost can't express how happy OP makes me.

https://apnews.com/article/robot-dog-nypd-61bd64c94360e30f110f65626cc1687c

The city’s first robot police dog was leased in 2020 by Adams’ predecessor, former Mayor Bill de Blasio, but the city’s contract for the device was cut short after critics derided it as creepy and dystopian.

Adams said he won’t bow to anti-robot dog pressure.
