    You won’t … because the mosquito drone that stung you with neurotoxin will have killed you in your sleep.

    One on the left already looks like a protectron. Just paint it up in Nuka cola guise and good to go.

    Nah, these guys are all the deprecated hydraulics-driven versions. The new ones are electric and not as strong.

      deprecated

      That’s what they’d have you think.
      But they’ll be keeping those to secure their water, while selling us the weaker trojan horses to steal our water when the time is right.

    Thinking we’re going to have comically resource intensive and technically complex machines in the post apocalyptic future is so optimistic.

      It’s not post-apocalyptic when 1% own 99% of the wealth. It’s today.

      See Palestine where one side has advanced weapons and the other is just trying to get water.

        It’s not post-apocalyptic when 1% own 99% of the wealth.

        It’s post-apocalyptic when your municipal utilities are all shut down and the only potable water sources are surrounded by armed goons.

        See Palestine

        Palestinians are being mass murdered the old fashioned way. All the talk of Lavender AI and autonomous drones and the like obscures the far more banal reality of IDF troops walking through the center of towns and shooting anyone they see with their rifles.

          Squeezing the poor can continue without an apocalypse. The poor will be fighting robot guards to get to water while the bourgeoisie tut tut at the lazy homeless.

          Palestinians are being mass murdered the old fashioned way.

          You don’t need a apocalypse for a country or billionaire to deploy robots instead of men.
