Dogs have a new enemy: Roboquad.
This puppy is in an “epic battle of territorial domination” with his owner’s new toy. And he’s not the first. Probably won’t be the last.
Dogs don’t share our chauvinism about mechanical life. They regard Roboquad as alive and as a threat. Roboquad passes the dog Turing Test. Far as I’m concerned, that’s good enough to prove that our robots are as smart as animals.
Although Ryan Oakley began his career as a simple rake (drunk) he has since become Toronto’s most renowned flaneur (no car) and notorious dandy (overdresses). A misanthropic composer of psycho-geographical fictions (sci-fi), he is also a server of food, a tender of bar and a washer of dishes. While performing all these functions with efficiency and elegance (disdain and malice), he somehow finds the time to publicly criticize friends, strangers and cultural crap.
