A robot dog with the head of Elon Musk that was part of an art installation at Miami Art Basel in December was seen prancing around San Francisco on Wednesday, as part of a promo for an upcoming art show.

This is the real Futurama. We'll never be rid of these people. They'll just put their heads on robot dogs and have their post apocalyptic slaves serve them.

JK but this is seriously unsettling but that was probably what the artist was going for so props to them?

I normally don't condone kicking dogs, but.

If that fucker became President, I could see this happening. We'd have these shitty robot dogs and robot humanoids with his head on em. Instead of Skynet, we'd get Xnet or Musknet, some stupid thing like that.

Now I'd never normally be in favor of kicking dogs, not even robot ones; however...

This would encourage me to avoid that “art show” at all costs.

Art, doesn’t it make you reflect on things?

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

As someone who makes art, yes.

This is just...mildly distressing?

Hoo boi do you have a liberal definition of “mildly”.
