20 years ago I was teaching computer classes at a local technical college. I used to tell my students all the time, there will come a day when the only people working will be those that can program/repair robots doing the work. Obviously a ways off, but far closer than we think.
Reminds me a lot of Joe Biden trying to figure out where he is, what is going on, where he’s supposed to go. The short steps, the long pauses, needlessly turning 180°, then back 90°…. it’s uncanny.
The robot even seems to turn and greet somebody that’s not there at one point.
My neighbor used to,tell me something like “there will come a day when 500 mb of hard disk space will not be enough”
He died before the massive increases in storage space really kicked in.
Data quality is spiraling the bottom of the bowl.
I remember saying to myself ‘why would I need anymore then 16K of RAM?’.
Lol, that is going back a long ways.
We only had dialup for the first 7 or so years of our computer experience. I remeber downloading larger game demos (which were only like 100 mg or so) that would take all night and part of next day to dload. I also remember getting almost through long dloads and having the connection break lol.
Wefinally got cable internet and wow! What a difference.
I used to game online on dialup, and my character would glitch so,hard folks thought i was cheating. The character would lag terrible in one spot, then surge ahead, almost like transporting to another time lol. The game was CS (coutner strike, a shoot em up war game) so,the pace was fast and furious- my,character however was not fast lol
It’s got legs like the Aliens 👽👽👽👽👽

“Have you seen the ruins, my friend?”
That's my concern too. I've been experimenting with MS Copilot. My initial reaction is that it is just a webcrawler that reflects back to you what it reads in simple search engine results. Except sometimes it doesn't get it right, misunderstanding the context or meaning of what it reads.
That means relying on AI is basically like adding an extra person to the old "telephone operator" game, where you whisper a message from one person to another and laugh as the result is completely garbled from the original. My concern is that as the amount of AI content online grows, we may encounter what I call a "recursive hallucination" where AI misunderstanding other AI content creates content that is more and more divorced from reality. And that's without even considering the deliberate biases being introduced by the puppet masters behind each AI.
Is that from a movie?
Logan’s Run?
Appreciate your thoughts. Don’t hesitate to copy me with more.
That was from “The Arrival”, just as the Sheen character shoved the cab driver out of the elevator.
I watched some of the video, and you are right about the legs. I am rather surprised there are not cables hanging down from the ceiling to power them. They would be much faster. Here, you cannot watch them be so slow, without knowing that people would be much faster, even powered by only a cheeseburger!
Oh that’s right!
Great movie

I happen to love automation. More robots less people!
I started dabbling in automation when the “Fight for 15” workers started protesting at places like McDonalds. I did pretty well but unfortunately these companies brought everything in house and it is pretty much a closed system. Hard to compete with billion dollar industries with that kind of money and the ability to get the programmers and designers needed.
However... these new AI bots are making programming so much easier now. Not sure, at my age, any of it will come to anything but I don know one thing that robots and AI, and especially illegal aliens, can’t do is be flexible in machine shops and fab shops. At least not in my lifetime.
