Robot dogs, contrary to popular opinion, aren’t just used for gun-toting evil. They can also be used for good, as demonstrated by Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China. A team at the university has unveiled a 6-legged guidebot, intended to help visually impaired people just like a real guide dog. The robot (who hasn’t been given a name, so we’ll call him Jim) can identify and avoid obstacles, navigate stairs, and respond to human voice commands within a second. Jim can also identify traffic lights, unlike real dogs, who are colorblind. According to the team, Jim will be set for a trial run as early as November, and, if successful, will help to drastically cut the waiting times for guide dogs. Jim is also less likely to chase cars and do his business up against lamp posts.

Half robot, half gun, all good boy. New footage has been released of China’s robot dogs, participating in the China-Cambodia ‘Golden Dragon 2024’ joint military exercise. Yes, the robot dogs can sit, shake paws and jump around looking confused, just like real dogs, but they can also wield a gun and take an active role in combat situations, something we wouldn’t advise for real dogs. The smaller of the two robot dog models weighs just 15kg, and can perform agile maneuvers, while its bigger sibling weighs in at 50kg and can take part in armed assault missions. Neither model will bark at its own shadow, stop for a pee every 30 seconds, or eat a bird house (totally not personal experience). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

Donald Trump’s supporters denounced his guilty verdict as 'a sham', saying that 'hush money' trial was a farce that has eroded faith in democracy and the US legal system. To delve deeper into the matter, we spoke with legal analyst and former New Jersey Superior Court Judge Andrew Napolitano. He said the New York state statute didn't demand the jury's agreement on what the underlying crime was for Trump's case, which, he says, is a violation of the US constitution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.
