So I just found out about THERMONATOR THE FLAMETHROWER ROBOT DOG.

And I love it to absolute death

I also really like the fact that the most scifi in real life robots (that I've seen anyways) are freaking dogs.

Because of course they are.

I liked it more when one of its imagined use cases was rescuing people in falling buildings or fires, where people going inside could be dangerous, as to not risk more lives...

Why do we feel the need to attach flamethrowers to everything

Imagine a world where anyone with ten grand to spare can purchase armed, military-grade, AI-powered robots. What could possibly go wrong?

If you've been wondering when you’ll be able to order the flame-throwing robot that Ohio-based Throwflame first announced last summer, that day has finally arrived. The Thermonator, what Throwflame bills as “the first-ever flamethrower-wielding robot dog” is now available for purchase. The price? $9,420.

Thermonator is a quadruped robot with an ARC flamethrower mounted to its back, fueled by gasoline or napalm. It features a one-hour battery, a 30-foot flame-throwing range, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for remote control through a smartphone.

It also includes a Lidar sensor for mapping and obstacle avoidance, laser sighting, and first-person-view navigation through an onboard camera. The product appears to integrate a version of the Unitree Go2 robot quadruped that retails alone for $1,600 in its base configuration.

The company lists possible applications of the new robot as "wildfire control and prevention," "agricultural management," "ecological conservation," "snow and ice removal," and "entertainment and SFX." But most of all, it sets things on fire in a variety of real-world scenarios.

Back in 2018, Elon Musk made the news for offering an official Boring Company flamethrower that reportedly sold 10,000 units in 48 hours. It sparked some controversy, because flamethrowers can also double as weapons or potentially start wildfires.

Flamethrowers are not specifically regulated in 48 US states, although general product liability and criminal laws may still apply to their use and sale. They are not considered firearms by federal agencies. Specific restrictions exist in Maryland, where flamethrowers require a Federal Firearms License to own, and California, where the range of flamethrowers cannot exceed 10 feet.

Even so, to state the obvious, flamethrowers can easily burn both things and people, starting fires and wreaking havoc if not used safely. Accordingly, the Thermonator might be one Christmas present you should skip for little Johnny this year.

srory i'm gonna be mean here but those posts where people are actually fearmongering about the new boston dynamics dog robot or whatever being utilised by police forces & the military to quell urban rebellion are so fucking funny to me

because there is no extant scenario in which it is more logistically or strategically efficient to deploy robots than it is to field humans & on top of that there is so many much more apt examples of capitalistic techno-dystopiaposting bait to talk about. like if you guys think you're going to get hunted down by androids then your logic is not very robust i fear. if they want to burn protestors alive they'll just use incendiary bombs, not the throwflame thermonator. come on
