NYPD Deploys “Creepy” New Robot Dog In Manhattan Public Housing Complex
The NYPD’s robot dog is once again stirring privacy concerns and cyberpunk prophesies of some New Yorkers, after the four-legged machine was spotted inside of a Manhattan public housing complex on Monday.
A video shared on Twitter shows the robot trotting out of a building on East 28th Street in front of two NYPD officers, then slowly descending the stairs as bystanders look on in shock.
hey man, nice shot

The NYPD deploys a robot dog again
The cyberpunk dystopia is here! (If you weren’t aware: I’m sorry. You’re
living in a cyberpunk dystopia.) The latest sign — aside from
corporations controlling many aspects of everyday life, massive
widespread wealth inequality, and the recent prominence of bisexual
lighting — comes in the form of robot dogs deployed to do jobs human
police used to. Yesterday, as the New York Post reports, the NYPD deployed Boston Dynamics’ robot “dog” Spot to a home invasion crime scene in the Bronx.
