1938 Packard Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 I just did some Googling on the latest robotics tech. When automating my job is the employer's goal, nanotube technology shows a lot of promise for the physical labor involved. AI tech on the other hand still has about sixty more years before it can complete the picture. After that, a decent android would be totally indistinguishable from a live person on looks and performance.

1938 Packard Posted May 25, 2017 Author Posted May 25, 2017 They don't have to build a janitor robot that does everything you can do. They just have to automate all the mundane tasks that you do. Like if a place bought specialized roombas & trash emptying robots. At this place a janitor spends 1/2 his day emptying trash & cleaning floors. Now you can fire half the janitors, and so on as you buy more bots to automate more janitorial tasks. You'll never be replaced by an android janitor bot. Even if we could do that, it would probably always be cheaper to replace janitors w/a diverse fleet of simpler robots each one specialized for one task. The one that empties the trash would have to carry a full cubic yard of trash every hour, even when that yard weighs 400 pounds. That would be in places like theme parks, casinos, malls or anyplace where really huge crowds are the norm. Office complexes and other places that have low trash volume might get along with just the robots shown in certain videos that have been recently posted here. The type of trash could make a difference too. When cans only have paper and some occasional fast food containers, it's different from when a much bigger can is full of mixed liquids and broken glass. They each have to be handled differently.
1938 Packard Posted May 25, 2017 Author Posted May 25, 2017 if they automated my job the robots would emerge themselves in water or jump off the roof I honestly believe that any robot that can successfully do every part of my job consistently would end up joining a union to demand wages and vacation time.

André Toulon Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Will this robot also start smoking due to an electrical fire and claim there is no smell until we saw it.
naraku360 Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 For someone in sheer disbelief that custodial work could go to a robot, you're awfully paranoid on the subject.
Mini_ghost420 Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 I don't know why people act like you're the real Packard. you're not even close and I'm pretty sure he's dead
1pooh4u Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 if they automated my job the robots would emerge themselves in water or jump off the roof Don't be silly. The first prime directive will be robots can't kill them selves didn't sealab 2021 teach you anything? >
Distortedreasoning Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 youl have plenty of free time to do other non janitor things.
1938 Packard Posted May 25, 2017 Author Posted May 25, 2017 For someone in sheer disbelief that custodial work could go to a robot, you're awfully paranoid on the subject. I'll be living on my pensions long before the tech reaches that level.
bnmjy Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Centipedes? In your vagina yoni? It's more common than you think.
scoobdog Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 For someone in sheer disbelief that custodial work could go to a robot, you're awfully paranoid on the subject. It's fun watching simple people slowly come to the most horrific realization in their inconsequential lives.
1938 Packard Posted May 25, 2017 Author Posted May 25, 2017 It's fun watching simple people slowly come to the most horrific realization in their inconsequential lives. Like what... the realization that combining my pensions makes me worth more money retired than working?
scoobdog Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 I don't know why people act like you're the real Packard. you're not even close and I'm pretty sure he's dead Wut? He's sharing stories about slutty high school teachers with Westapark in heaven?
Mini_ghost420 Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 he's been replaced by a robot. quite fitting. this one talks like a computer programmed to imitate Packard
Mini_ghost420 Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Wut? He's sharing stories about slutty high school teachers with Westapark in heaven? they're in Limbo but close enough
Mini_ghost420 Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 this guy is just someone doing the same motions of Packard. they don't really believe or care about what they're typing. they're just posting it because IT IS Packard-ish. the real Packard really believed the shit. and I honestly think the real Packard is dead
Naraku4656 Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 It's fun watching simple people slowly come to the most horrific realization in their inconsequential lives. i hope everyone's boring jobs get automated. why do you need actual humans to work in a walmart or diagnose what's wrong with a car. get a robot to do it. lets do things robots can't do
scoobdog Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 they're in Limbo but close enough That's heaven to those two.
