A piece of nightmare science fiction published on Twitter by MartyrMead.

Not mine, but I found it amusing.

Scene 1: From: Mayor Eric Adams (NYC Mayor)

We must use every available method to keep New Yorkers safe, including state of the art technologies like the Knightscope K5 security robot.

These devices will serve as an important innovative deterrent to crime so we can keep New York City the safest big city in America.

Scene 2: Due to frequent acts of vandalism targeting the K5 security robots, it has become necessary to provide them with a means to defend themselves.

Scene 3: It has become apparent that the K5 security robot cannot defend itself it waits for a vandal to begin his assault. Therefore, we've installed a software update to allow this system to be more proactive it its' interactions with citizens.

Scene 4: Due to the fact that the K5 security robot fleet proactive measures have been deployed against black and brown bodies 21.8 times more often than against white citizens, we have decided that the robots are racist and must be incinerated.

Scene 5: In international news. a fleet of Knightscope robots programmed to defend themselves from acts of vandalism have assassinated the Police Commissioner and are besieging City Hall, after city officials ordered the machines to be destroyed.

“… equipped with four cameras that can record video but not audio.”

Someday, someday my son, they will HAVE this technology…
