Swine and dash
All across Europe wild pigs or Boars are overpopulated and over running and eating human civilization. So far, the people are still winning, but the wild pigs continue to breed and grow rapidly and the number of hunters and natural predators is going down. The net result is that farm areas have wild boars eating their crops and fighting with other farm animals particularly dogs. Government allows shooting and harvesting Boars but the market for their meat is shrinking especially in Austria and Germany. Many of these animals have interbred with the wild boars from the nuclear waste site at Chernobyl and many others have been eating the local mushrooms that have absorbed the radiation from Chernobyl. So even if you hunt them and harvest them most Eastern Euros will not eat them or feed it to the livestock.
Humanity may have found an unlikely solution to the scourge of wild pigs invading European cities — boar-herding robots. Bizarre footage below shows the moment an AI-powered robot chased away a herd of wild pigs in Warsaw, Poland. “I’m herding the wild boars into the forest,” reads the caption to the hilarious — albeit slightly dystopian clip. The clip shows one of Chinese firm Unitree’s G1 humanoid bots — curiously named Edward Warchocki — jogging across an empty parking lot while pursuing the hairy hogs. Unfortunately, the fleet-footed porkers evade their bipedal pursuer. On the surface, it seems that Warchocki has a long way to go before it can successfully combat the city’s pig plague, which has become so rampant that city officials even started shooting the swine even in residential areas.
Boars such as the ones in the clip have become a scourge across Europe. However, as it turns out, this robotronic running of the boars was a promotional stunt. Warchocki is a popular robot influencer that has captivated the country with its various anthropomorphic feats, which have included singing on stage, chasing marathon runners and even visiting the Polish Parliament. “Finally, some sensible application of robotics.” Coincidentally, the US has its own version of Poland’s robotic troll — a cowboy hat-wearing Unitree G1 humanoid “Jake the Rizzbot.” This eyeball-seeking machine has gone viral for its own wackadoodle stunts, which have included everything from spitting out Gen Z slang and even “comin out as gay” after moving to California.
Wild boars

Rivets.
Why did the robot cross the road?
It was programmed by the chicken.
I had a terrible dream of a dystopian future where robots controlled every aspect of our lives.
Luckily, I was awakened by my Tesla.
