    My esteem for Boston Dynamics just went into the toilet. They know exactly what ICE is. What a way to end 15 years of innovation and admiration.

      They’re were always going to sell these things to the likes of the military and the police, it was unrealistic to expect them not to. So every time they came out and said they wouldn’t do anything draconian like that I just rolled my eyes.

      If anyone is surprised by this that’s on them for being naive.
