Would LOVE to see all those pardoned J6ers lose their lucrative jobs giving their sadistic tendencies free rein on the peaceful public.

I am sure some of the bright people on the left would figure how to short circuit some bots.

Edited to add: at least we'd be able to ID the damned robots.

Robopocalypse is a 2011 science fiction novel by Daniel H. Wilson about a global robot uprising led by a powerful AI named Archos, told through the oral history of human survivors after the initial attack, known as "Zero Hour". The book details humanity's fight for survival against the machines that have turned against their creators, exploring themes of technology's dangers and human resilience. Wilson, who holds a PhD in robotics, blends action with a realistic, near-future setting.
