You best start believing in a cyberpunk dystopia

This is most likely a joke. It hasn't been confirmed if the powder is/ were drugs.

"After inspection, it was found that the packages the robot was carrying contained a powder resembling illegal substances."

Sounds extremely fishy. Those robo-dogs are expensive, they are slow - too slow to really act as couriers, and this is supposed to be Moscow - A city in a country under rather strict tech embagos, where you can't get them at the next corner shop.

Reminds me of this meme

This may be the coolest fucking thing ever

This is exactly the Cyberpunk we expected. Cyberpunk has never been shy about being a dystopia.

Who's a good boy?

Nah, I'm kinda okay with that. Better than thought-crime surveillance Cyberpunk dystopia.

This is EXACTLY the type of thing I expected from a cyberpunk dystopia

The 3 industries that will always have the money and be on the forefront of innovation:

1. Military
2. Drugs
3. Porn

This would probably be cheaper to send over the border with drugs too.

Im actually amazed that while we supposedly have robo dogs we still have photos so blurry that you cant see shit.

To be honest I'm more worried because of Moscow than any robot dog.

Untraceable drug delivery? Sign me up

Doggo delivers mana powder until he gets head pats.

That's awesome, I love drug dealing robo-dogs

Hi, is this robodog still available?

It's hard for me to believe this strictly because A) those things are fucking expensive, and B) aren't they like ....hella fucking fast??

In this case the dystopia is the prohibition and storm troopers, not the robot dog.

That's odd.
I think most of the time they just use dead drops, it's much safer.

Courier sticks drugs to a tree, walks away, sends a geo location of a drop to a buyer. Done.

Druggie just has to geolocate it, never meet in person.

When can I get paid thousands of dollars to carry a USB drive 5 miles, assuming I manage to get away from a cybernetically enhanced Dolph Lundgren?

Bump, Ubu, bump. Good dog.

I was expecting this from quadcopters. I'd have thought they'd be more difficult to catch

Robot Drug Delivery Dog is so much better than Robot NYPD Mass-Surveillance dog that I almost can't express how happy OP makes me.

The city’s first robot police dog was leased in 2020 by Adams’ predecessor, former Mayor Bill de Blasio, but the city’s contract for the device was cut short after critics derided it as creepy and dystopian.

Adams said he won’t bow to anti-robot dog pressure.

Life finds a way.

We're burning the world when we're not fucking one another over for capital.

I'm glad the drug dealers are staying ahead of the curve to at least let us face the end high off our asses.

OK that'll be a discrete $50 handshake please.... OK so just walk to that corner and wait. There will be a dog...

Where? I want to see! Although... that would require talking to police. Nevermind.

This is exactly the cyberpunk I expected

Next dog will have a concealed robotic cargo pouch and poops out the drugs

Russian military has a pretty cool weapon. Armoured minitank packed with explosives that drives into buildings and then detonates. It is usually accompanied by a small camera air drone that provides visual info, on where to drive the minitank, or at least is there to show off the destruction.

That is a higher level of dystopia. But, self driving food delivery mini vehicle technology will become a tool of the resistance to the genocidal extermination of unneeded labour pool.
