Humanoids showing up for work on the production line....

Hi, I'm F.01 and I'm your new apprentice. I'm only interested in the jobs that are dirty, dangerous or dull.

Oh wait, that's almost all jobs.

The company my bride works for has one or two Boston Dynamics security robot dogs patrolling the grounds 24/7. Probably scanning surveillance and parking mostly. Interestingly, BD has a company policy where they will not allow their products to be weaponized.

At least if you get bitten by a robot dog, you won't need to get a rabies shot.

Just trying to be glass half full here.

I really just think it'd be fun to put fake ears on it at Easter and antlers on it at Christmas as a prank. Of course it's basically a walking camera so no chance of not getting caught.
