Humans doing less dangerous and menial jobs is a good thing, not a bad thing.
That's dogmatic, and not necessarily true.
I would think that humans doing dangerous things for which there are rewards[*] helps provide an evolutionary pressure against those not doing dangerous things, and those failing at them.
[*]: Primary, as in winning wars, or secondary, as in being better paid than average or attracting more mates.
That you can toss a wrapper into the wastebin from across the room, that you can walk for miles, and that you can balance on a bike are likely all because of your ancestors doing dangerous things. It paid off.
As for menial tasks, the same applies, Being good at those too lends an advantage.
We have this big thing on top of our necks, and really complicated protein factory patterns. We can afford to be good at a lot of things, much more so than most of our cousin species. But that's only to our advantage if we do become good at things, and fill that squishy bulb. I firmly believe that that includes doing both dangerous and menial things.
Which is why I'm now getting into my car, challenging death on the county road to do menial tasks like benchmarking at work. Have a nice day!
Knowledge can't be passed down between generations, it's inherited. I'm not able to walk because my grandfather was made to walk in WW1 and died doing it. I can walk because I have legs. It has nothing to with putting people into dangerous situations that can be avoided. Of course there are dangerous situations where the person wants to be there, but that's a different thing. I'm not saying don't let them. But would any coal mine workers want to be in the mine, if it wasn't for a wage slave predicament?
People can't fulfill their potential if they're bogged down doing menial things.How much of your brain capacity is used when you flip nuts at an assembly line? Even if you're very good at it, what a waste of a human life.
They think of this as a race or what? I watch entertainment for the enjoyment of it. Not for the sake of consuming the most in the least amount of time. IF something is boring then I don't watch it simple as that.
A few days ago I watched Hardcore Henry, imagine that at double speed. These people are crazy.
I'm not sure they're doing it for the right reasons. I suspect the artists motivation is to not have videos of their performances floating on the net. Which is a stupid reason. It's actually good advertisement. Before I go to a concert I'd like to know what to expect. I don't buy a ticket at face value. Any and all concerts I've been to was because I saw recordings of the live performance and I knew what to expect.
The bullshit department at work. If his job was automatable for 6 years ahead it was not a viable job in the first place.
I expect the reality is that he never knew how to code, he input some generic testing parameters that gave passed results for literally everything put trough it. And it took the company 6 years to realize this.
We have a law that says if you put out a product at a certain price on the shelf you must sell it at that price. There is no weaseling out your way from there.
The free market is only free until the players start to flock to guilds, and start setting up rules they impose on every player. The current system is not some sinister conspiracy against a free market, it's a direct evolution of the original free market people had, when the first nomadic tribes started trading goods between each other. Even if we abolished all laws controlling the market, the "free market" would be free for about 5 seconds until the players started setting up rules. A truly unchecked free market would also have catastrophic effects on the environment.
Why is the US guy's money better than mine? If they're not going to sell it to me, of course I'll look for other sources to obtain my fix. I'm addicted to TV shows and they complain that when they take it away I'll try to source it elsewhere?
It's so ironic that the people crying "entitlement" over this are the ones on the privileged side of the fence. You're the entitled ones, because you think you deserve it, and we don't.
The sooner they realize that it's not a good idea to segregate people on a geographical basis in a global market the better. I'm not jumping ship, I never even got on, and I won't until all the content will be available globally. But I did cancel my spotify subscription when it refused to play the music I wanted.
They put all kinds of restrictions on subscribers, and they wonder why piracy is still a thing.
You're saying that retailers should be compelled to sell anything legal? That they shouldn't be allowed to pick and choose? Or are you saying retailers shouldn't pay attention to customer demand? I'm having trouble understanding you.
I'm not saying that at all. I don't even know how you got that twisted notion. Are you trying to strawman me? Retailers should not be compelled to stop selling something, because it hurts someone's feelings.
Customer demand is when you want to buy something. If some customers demands the retailer to "not sell" something, then they absolutely should not listen. What about the other customers who want to buy the product? This type of demand is clearly a despicable selfish thing, which serves no other purpose than to make some SJW feel better about themselves.
Great idea! Lets put people in a box on wheels that they can't control that has no headlights so not only do they have no control over where the vehicle is going or what it's really doing, they can't even see what's going on.
Most people don't know where they're going anyway. Almost hundred percent of accidents are caused by human error. So it's better to take that responsibility away, and let technology work it out instead.
Even during the day it can't be that much of a problem. FARO and other such LiDAR scanners work fine outside. I always figured these self driving cars were using the same sort of lasers (near-infrared).
You apparently don't process much LiDAR data yourself of you'd have noticed the high volume of false returns off not just the sun, but also reflections of it. Yes, even on FARO products.
False returns are not really a concern anymore with high quality lidar (FARO is lower middle class at best) Even years ago it was only a slight problem in very very bright midday conditions. But firmware updates since then eradicated almost all unwanted noise from the point cloud. And what little remains can be filtered out with an isolated points filter.
Of course the scanners I use cost more than 10 cars, so yeah. Not really feasible as a product yet.
A retailer shouldn't allow politics into what items they sell. They must allow everything to be sold as long as it is legal to sell. Everything else is pure nonsense, and it has no place in the marketplace. Product censorship is censorship nonetheless.
Since it's locked inside a service, I don't feel that I'm purchasing anything. When I purchase a movie I expect it to play anywhere with the player of my choice.
A cyborg is a cybernetic organism. This is just a way of communication. It has nothing to do with an actual cyborg. A man with a prosthetic leg is more of a cyborg than this.
"I don't want to give away the secret outright, I'd rather make a stupid game, where people have to work for it, and troll about how there is much more where that came from"
Just another troll, ban him, sue him, and fry his ass.

So it will be that the dreams of getting rid of humans will die a cold death in the various parents' basements where these futurists live.

All you have to do to not have to buy new headphones is to not buy a product without a 3.5 jack.

That looks like a cheapo acer.

Nothing like a competitive environment to do half assed uninspired work with major corner cuts.
Adoption is high enough now that we can start pulling shit like this.

So what they're saying is: "It's not about the money, we just like being dicks"
Why humanity is doomed.
Wasting this much energy and resources on literally nothing.
It's not a damn disease, you calorie intake was significantly more than you need for extended periods of time. That's it.
Just call it what it is, and stop sugarcoating the truth.
Since it's locked inside a service, I don't feel that I'm purchasing anything. When I purchase a movie I expect it to play anywhere with the player of my choice.
Call me when they charge 2.99/movie. That's about what I'd be willing to pay for streaming.
