farewell sweet prince www.nytimes.com/2024/02/02/n...

New York City has retired the robot, known as the Knightscope K5, from service inside the Times Square station. The Police Department had been forced to assign officers to chaperone the robot, which is 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 400 pounds. It could not use the stairs. Some straphangers wanted to abuse it.

I'm a bit skeptical about the story. Probably just maxed out its pension.

Not related to anything, but I read the fifth last word here as some new thing pronounced “stra-FAINjers”, like somebody was saying “strangers” but adding some extra oomph to it. I was actually a little disappointed when I realized my mistake.

I didn’t know I had so much in common with the Knightscope K5: *Reside in New York City *Recently retired *Am 5 feet 3 inches tall and weigh 400 pounds

Quite clearly a Dalek in disguise

This reminds me of when the Daleks in Doctor Who somehow acquired the ability to fly.
