This could be used in bulk in the manufacture of foods.

Great futuristic way to get egg whites without the killing and ecological harm.

Quorn are bigger and better I think.

Think it just projection.

“Oh they the characters look and act different in the real world, and they have different names!”

Oh you mean like literally every videogame ever made. It’s more about digital world than anything else by a massive massive amount.

But I could see how the switch thing maybe was thought to be a trans nod at one point. But it doesn’t mean a film about basically a video game isn’t about a video game.

In school my RE teacher was trying to tell me about how so many films are about Jesus.

TBF I love the Matrix and I had heard that before so I mentioned it and she said “yeah thats a good one”

But so many things can secretly mean something if you really want it to. Really the good guy goes through growth and saves everyone then dies. Is basically like the main story humans like to tell. 90’s was big on “the world isn’t what you see it is. It’s broken and we can build something new” like fight club, is that a trans move? Is that about Jesus? I dont think so.

Yes. So many of these threads read like Elon is stupid for trying to put humanoid robots in a factory from 1945 when he could just use a robotic arm or specialised machinery.

No, robotic arms and specialised machinery have replaced most labour, at least when compared to total output, already. If they didn’t do that they would have been shutdown a long time ago for lack of productivity and high costs. It’s not 1945 anymore, factories have spent 80 years trying to replace workers. Humanoid robots and AI might (eventually) be the final piece, not the major piece.

It seems to me we agree on everything except scale.

You don’t see humanoid robots being good enough and cheap enough to replace humans in any job. I do. I think it will start slow and progress overtime. Same how robotic arms started slow and then reaching more factories and more types of work.

The price people are saying these robots will cost is way less that what it costs to keep humans around.

The reason a humanoid robot will be used over a robotic arm is the same reason humans are used over a robotic arm that’s flexibility. The reason a humanoid robot will be used over a human is cost.

All the work done by humans right now.

Tends to be either stuff that is difficult to automate or work that is so short as to not be cost effective to buy a robot that only does that one job.

Humans aren’t good at doing most thing. But they are very very good at doing a lot of things.

Flexibility is the main thing that employs people in factories right now.

The majority of work that can be done by simple arm robots has been replaced with simple arm robots.

The humanoid robots are not going to fulfill that niche.

Yea agree.

I personally don’t even like the NFL because the games so bloody slow and commercialised. But it still seems like a good crack.

People are so sad and edgy on this site.

Community, fun, drinks, going out of the house and doing something. That sounds awful.

Is that Chiwetel Ejiofor?

People have lost the plot on what is morbidly obese.

To most people obese is healthy and healthy is dangerously underweight.

Gooning is the least bad thing about that generation.

If you get the train downtown then you are already downtown. You don’t need a self driving car at all. You need a way to get from your house to the train station by self driving car.

Or you have a lot more demand responsive transport. Everyone gets on a mini bus in the suburbs and you all get dropped off at the stores or locations you want one by one.

55% of trips in Sweden are cars. I’d call that the default.

I think self driving cars will help tbh. Only way it will happen.

Less parking. Solves last mile problem.

No. Not really.

Cars are very common and walkable cities have been largely accommodated for the car.
