"suddenly i am totally ok with these" is literally exactly what they want

Boston Dynamics has military contracts. these fucking robots will get used as tools of the carceral surveillance state, and videos of them being "cute" are propaganda to make people comfortable with that https://twitter.com/holly/status/1277298095135522816">https://twitter.com/holly/sta...

this post went viral overnight so lemme respond to some common replies:

"but the horse head is creepy, not cute"
yeah the horse head is kinda creepy, the goal isn& #39;t necessarily for you to find the robots cute, but for their existence to be normalized

"you& #39;re a boomer! stop hating on technology!"
i think technology is the most important and powerful tool humanity has, I don& #39;t, like, hate robots or something, but in the hands of capitalists, technology will always be abused to exploit and terrorize the lower classes

"make your own robots then if you don& #39;t like these ones!"

"lmaooo youre being too serious dude the tweet was just a joke"

yes, it was a joke. that was the point. but making that joke normalizes these robots
