  1. “Chinese law enforcement [introduced a robotic colleague](https://www.the-express.com/news/world-news/149810/crazy-video-shows-how-ukraine?utm_source=mynewsassistant.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=embedded_search_item_desktop) and a [mechanized canine](https://www.the-express.com/news/world-news/148365/ukrainian-army-deploys-robot-dogs?utm_source=mynewsassistant.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=embedded_search_item_desktop) at the Chinese F1 Grand Prix.

    The robots, a humanoid G1 and dog-like GO2, created by Chinese robotics company Unitree, [were spotted overseeing the event at the Shanghai International Circuit](https://www.the-express.com/news/science/167189/china-police-robot-cop-f1).

    The Unitree G1 wowed audiences last week by becoming the world’s first robot to execute a kip-up—a dynamic move where it goes from lying flat to standing—showing off not just this trick but also Tai Chi moves and remarkable equilibrium, even when pushed from behind.

    UBTECH described it as a world first such initiative and means a “swarm intelligence system” for humanoid robots continues to develop at a fast rate.”

  2. Hey remember that movie about the depravity of latestage capitalism and the comodification of human life?

    Let’s do that!

  3. Now imagine if Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Trump, Epstein, the Koch Bros and Soros had these deployed in America given their track record and public comments.

  4. I would be scared of a Chinese robocop. He could probably deduct social credits like a machinegun and couldn’t be bribed, or probably reasoned with.

    You ever see those two robot cops beat up Matt Damon in Elysium? Its terrifying.

    Clickbait headline. More accurate to say China police deploy real life ED-209. There are no organic components to these robots.

  6. CPCR-209 after unwitting employee is provided with a rendered drawing of xi jinping as Winnie the Pooh.

    “Please put down your propaganda and provide your social credit card, you have 20 seconds to comply!”

    Employee drops propaganda. And nervously fumbles for their paperwork

    “You have 15 seconds to comply, you are in violation of the social credit systemsection 13 subsection 103! You now have five seconds.”

    Screaming and terror ensues as unwitting employee attempts to flee.

    Five four three… Brutally murders unwitting employee.

    CPC member of board, “Ah it works exactly as intended good job. When can we have these produced and sent to Xinjiang?”

    With all due respect – G1 is around 1.30 meter height, and less than 40 kgs. What is he going to do to a criminal, wave a finger?

    One might even say it’s a Great Leap Forward. But the original one didn’t really end well for about 10 million Chinese people.

    And America’s half way to establishing a Starship-Troopers-esque techno-fascist military state. Big decade for Paul Verhoeven

  10. Despite the name, Robocop is a cyborg. Cybernetic organism.

    These are just plain ol’ robots
