I mean, it’ll mostly be accelerating a trend that was already there. Also, the initial scramble to use the legal grey area to cover as much shady shit as possible in a: Well shucks, how were we supposed to know the neural net would make illegal denials? After all, the guys who trained it don’t even know exactly why it does what it does kinda way

just wait till they start denying health insurance with it

I’m sorry ma’am I know you’re upset, but the AI said it’s not covered. The AI is numbers, and numbers don’t lie.

I have seen absolutely nobody refer to the chatbots as “clanker”. Notice how this so called ‘criticism’ of the AI future still accepts as true the same premise the AI fanatics are pushing, they just hold a flashlight under their chin and go, “and it’s evil!!!”

I don’t think statistical word generator is as useful as all the investor types seem to think it is, and they’re gearing us up for an unthinkably massive market correction in the near future. That’s a real criticism of AI.

industries tend to be more centralized in China. It’s not that that’s indicative of every city, more that Shenzhen already has easy access to the kind of manufacturing and products that a robotics company would find ideal.

Dozens of squat delivery robots have now begun riding subway trains across the network during off-peak hours, exiting at each station where a 7-Eleven is located to make deliveries, according to a report by local news outlet SZNews.

“In the past, delivery workers had to park above ground, unload goods, and manually push them into subway stations,” Li Yanyan, a manager at one of the 7-Eleven stores involved in the project, told SZNews. “Now, with robots, it’s much easier and more convenient.”

I think this is only for 7/11s that are part of the underground subway architecture? I don’t think the robots would be cost effective compared to a truck if this was for restocking any old corner store.
