dudeRobot dogs are protecting data centers. Operators are seeing payoffs.
I wonder how long it will tave before the robot dogs will start patroling the streets as part of the police force.
whyNotSquirrelthe first firmware upgrade would need to come quickly after the dog is neutralising the threat by killing the cop
There are no issues of morality when smashing a robot dog with a brick or throwing paint over it like there are with human guards. Just saying
ToastedRavioliIm confident that about 2/3rds of Lemmy would say those qualms dont exist for human guards either, because someone making $12/hr to be eyeballs for a data center is basically the same as Hitler by their logic or some such nonsense
Brave Little Hitachi WandDiversity of tactics, innit. All cops are bastards, but you won’t see me smacking Paul Blart with a brick. I still have more in common with someone who would, though…
AmnesigenicVoluntarily serving evil organizations and interests is evil regardless of compensation, agreeing to do so for shitty wages doesn’t make it less evil just more stupid
Well, first off the pool is lower because you can’t just grab some rando off the street. The whole job is protecting the hen house and you absolutely can NOT put a fox in that position. Reputation, etc:
You also can’t put someone who can be turned into a fox into the position. If you’re protecting something that could potentially be worth billions stolen, you don’t want to pay starvation wages where the instability would make the risk seem lower.
If the person you trust now also has to move, then you also have to pay extra for that.
Every movie makes the security guard a big guy falling asleep in front of an array of monitors but that’s not the case if the thing you’re protecting is worth a LOT.
Easy. Data centers need security 24/7.
(150k/52 weeks in a year) = 2884.62 a week
(2884.62/ 168 hours per week) = $17.17 an hour.
That assumes the employee is working 24/7 which can’t be done.
When accounting for a normal 40 hour week you get a much different number. 2884.62/40 hours per week = $72.12 a hour
Large corporations see roles and not individual people. There needs to be [guard] in [location] which costs 150k.
If you think a security guard is paid $72 an hour I’m going to come work for you.
What I’m getting at is that your logic is assuming the guard lives at the data center and is always on duty. Now forgive me because I’m completely ignorant to this topic, but I don’t think that would be the case here. It would probably be the same as other jobs with scheduled hourly shifts. High profile areas will generally pay higher due to the importance of what needs to be secured.
No, it assumes that there will be A guard always on duty, and that cost is $150,000. In reality that $150,000 is probably 3 or more different guards, with rotating shifts, each making about $17/hr.

Seems like a good day to learn and practice making and using a bolas
