There's a new security guard getting a lot of attention at the Financial Plaza of the Pacific in downtown Honolulu, but it's not what you'd think. It's actually a robot. And it's the newest member of Bank of Hawaii's security force.

    So instead of paying someone to walk the street ensuring safety, we pay twice as much for a robot that can't do anything but sit there till an officer is able to respond............... Laugh My Asimov!

    This is the start of the Terminator reality. Cyberdyne Systems.

    Imagine stealing from somebody and your getting chased by a police egg.

    Make sure that robot uses his mask and social distancing

    How STUPID! Cutting off more jobs for the people that do work as a security! Next will be at the grocery stores! It’ll all be SELF CHECK OUTS! Good bye to jobs!

    All good till somebody decides to tip that thing over 🤣🤣🤣
  • Oh its so cute. It's equiped with facial recognition software, so when you walk by it, its kind of an illegal search an seizure, harassment and violation privacy all in one. I hope they make it so it automatically scans your phone and tases you in the forehead. Its so cute:)

    Skynet becomes sentient. "There’s a new guy in town. His name is RoboCop.” “Please put down your weapon. You have twenty seconds to comply.” Come quietly, or there will be—trouble!”
  • One security guard just lost his job, the cost to have this robot is $7 an hour, so the bank does save money.
  • @PhillyWiz
    So this basically a security guard working from home
  • I can imagine a lot of these things getting vandalized quite easily and frequently

    Are we all to believe that there's no one they talked to who think this is OUTRAGEOUS? 🤔🇺🇸

    All fun and games until these Dalek start yelling "Exterminate!"

    It’s all cute until Skynet goes live and becomes self aware. It won’t be so cute then.

    I can't wait to see them getting tagged with graffiti.

    Make it a quirky funny thing untill they're controlling you and making you comply
