It’s not a bad solution, as long as the robot is remotely controlled by a human and has no autonomous capability. It can just sit in a closet unless it’s required.

Boston Dynamics’ Spot would actually be pretty great, again with no autonomous capability.

Are you implying that if one were to give school shooters a job with a good salary they will voluntarily give up on starting the shooting and just be content operating their robots without actually shooting kids as that would lose them their job?

I mean, the other interpretation is that school shooters use these robots to shoot the school up.

Yes but the confluence of a competent hacker and a school shooter probably isn’t all that high.

A script kiddie and a shooter maybe.
