South Florida restaurant hires robotic waiter.
A subscription based article so open in Brave and you can read it (sans the pictures which get zapped out).
Interesting times we are living in.

Oh wow! Such a great feature in Brave I had no idea. I wonder if it works with other mainstream media sites.

Some of them yes. There are still a few it doesn't work but you can always try the stop loading while its buffering trick. It works for a few of those that don't work.

Ah ok nice stuff, I will have to give this a crack next time I find an article I want to read. Thanks for the tip

In the future it will probably be just a touch pad selection menu with the food popping out of the table.
People are odd, they perceive other people as the cause to their issues. If governments raised taxes to 90% people would still kick the poor and the workers for taking to much.
No one ever looks up they always look down, a big part is that it is rooted in people wanting and believing they will be the up if they work hard enough. So once they get there they don't want to lose the perks.
Unfortunately life don't work that way for the 99% of people.

I believe that in the future it will be normal to see that in any store or restaurant you will be served by a robot instead of a person. Personally, I would not feel comfortable being served by a robot.
Creo que en el futuro será normal ver que en cualquier tienda o restaurant te atienda un robot en lugar de una persona. Personalmente no me sentiría cómodo siendo atendido por un robot.

They are talking about dark kitchens and restaurants. These are buildings that have no people, hence no lights, yet are run by robots who prepare the food.
I am not sure how far along some of that technology is but after the last year, we can be restaurants are looking hard at that idea.

Ohhh I understand, I have never been to a restaurant like that. Here in my country I don't think there are such restaurants.
Ohhh entiendo entiendo, nunca he ido a un restaurant así. Acá en mi país creo que no existen ese tipo de restaurantes.

They dont have them here yet either. It is technology that is being worked on. So far, they have automated some of the process but not all of it. Ordering is obviously the part that is most advanced.
Dexterity is still a problem.

I imagine, colleague, that AI still needs to go further and robots will not only be guided by knowledge, but will also be able to solve problems even if there are questions. So far only quantum computers are capable of this.
Me imagino colega, aún falta que la IA vaya mas allá y los robots no solo se guíen por conocimiento, sino que también sepan solucionar problemas aunque hayan interrogantes. Hasta ahora de esto son capaces solo las computadoras cuánticas.

AI is a lot easier than robots. Agility, dexterity, and different surfaces are all challenges for robots.
AI is software so it is much easier to navigate inside a computer. It is why that sector is advancing at such a rapid pace.
Digital can move light years ahead of the physical world.

I think there is still a long way to go before we see a robot interacting with the physical world as closely as a human does.
Creo que aún falta mucho antes de ver a un robot interactuar con el mundo físico tan parecido a como lo hace un humano.

They must be looking at all possible options, this industry has been very hit by the recent pandemic and if the statistics before indicated that 90% of the new restaurants went bankrupt in the first 5 years, they must reintegrate at all costs!

They are feeling a great deal of pain right now. There is a mad rush in that industry to automate and bring in technology. The contactless service is really changing how they are thinking about things.
Ironic the solution they come up with appears to be no people = contactless. If they can get a machine/robot to do it, that solves a lot of problems (from their point of view).

The other point to take into account is if you can trust 100% to delegate responsibility to a robot, the first thing that goes through my head is how demanding diners can be, either on a whim or due to some possible allergies! and I have read cases where the owner of a restaurant has to compensate for the damage, pay a fine or, in the worst case, be imprisoned!

I guess it depends upon the robot/machine.
In the manufacturing world, machines are a lot better than humans. In the automobile realm, defects plummeted when machines came into use.
The fact of the matter is the stuff that humans can do better than machines is decreasing by the day.

And it is something that we will continue to lose ground, little were all these movies wrong that predicted that we will be replaced by Robots

I think its more likely for them to send you everything and you eat at home. Just set up a delivery service and save on even more fees.

No need colleague, I have the supermarket 3 minutes walking distance hahaha.
No es necesario colega, tengo el supermercado a 3 minutos caminando jajaja.

Maby if we allow robots to continue to take on the remedial tasks, than us living organisms can focus on the complex tasks that require the creativity that only human ingenuity can achieve. Which when we find that AI and technology is making that niche harder and harder to be monopolized, our resourcefulness will inevitably lead us to great feats.
And what would that be. AI is getting pretty "creative" based upon what some researchers were able to come up with. It can create music, videos, and write articles.
While still in the infancy, it will only get better from here.

It makes sense. Less work but more or equal money sounds good to the workers.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Without a doubt. That is where we are. The wages for workers is so low that collecting unemployment, especially with the Fed money, is more than what their make working. Of course, it also shows how little value the job actually is.
I really don't mind this. I posted a few weeks back in here about Bullshit Jobs. Perhaps we are starting to see the clearing out of all these jobs of low value. Automate them the hell out of existence.
What do we do with all the ex-workers? Well that is a different discussion but at least we arent wasting time trying to fit all these people into stupid jobs.

Yea at some point things will expire or people will get kicked off the lists. When this happens in California, I fully expect a revolt against the politicians here.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ironic the states that are the most liberal tend to kick people off more than other states.
Florida had issues because their computer system was 35 years old. But once they got that sorted, the system went pretty well.
New York is one of the worst from what I hear.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, but the ex-workers are going to continue burdening the system while sitting on their ass watching TV all day and complaining the government doesn't give them enough. High unemployment benefits are a disincentive to returning to work post-pandemic. What is needed is work incentives, even for the lower paying jobs.

There must be an article a week about sex robots over on Drudge. I don't know if somebody has deep pockets and money to burn, or if they're trying to tell us something. :)

the future is now...things like this will become common soon. everyone should consider their place in this emerging future. like I have said before, we either become one with technology or our species stands a chance of becoming extinct. yes, we created things but they are becoming faster and smarter. it would be no surprise if machines start to produce other machines.
