Remember the cabal looks at us as the feeders. When we’re no use to them....

I had one last night with Fava beans. Please don’t let the overlords know.

Another option: We become infected with nanobots and BECOME the robots!

Rage of Light-Mechanicals

As the video progresses, the vocalist is further and further transformed. She's got GREAT abs for a girl, too!

We are seeing firsthand that robotic and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are becoming a regular part of our lives and our economy and we are all better off for it -that is if the politicians and cronies can get out of the way.

No, humanity is not better off because of robotics and AI.
It's exactly the opposite.

We just need the cronies to stay out of the way of the small inventors.

Is he serious? “Small inventors” don’t even show on the radar. Stories are made up about the little guy(s) inventing something or starting a company from the bootstraps. Bull. Inventions and technology largely come out of - and have always - government, military and intelligence (see DARPA). Like the internet!

Border patrol robots, Antifa ass-beating robots, election security robots.

Bring them.

That’s getting to be pretty much the case now.
It didn’t use to be. Hewlett-Packard started in a garage with an Air Force (I think I remember it being Air Force.) contract.

I attended a recent Air Force SBIR\STTR workshop where the AF rep said if you’re a guy in a garage or you have a result in a university lab don’t bother. It has to be at least a TRL 4 of development before we would consider. Someone asked him so then no more “Hewlett-Packards” and he said yes. I got the AF rep into a sidebar conversation and got him to admit they really mean TRL 5.

The more folks are screaming for a minimum $15/hr salary, the more I think the fast food industries are training robots to flip burgers, fry chicken, cook hot dogs, make sandwiches, coffee, etc etc etc.

Once robots start flipping burgers and they can get rid of all that expensive labor, I expect their prices to dramatically decrease.

Will there be enough useless eaters around for it to be profitable to sell them hamburgers?

I use to work for the water department. At first they educated, then supplied water conservation devices, once the water consumption started to fall, they jacked up the water rates.
Worked at Turkey point nuclear power house. We had 5K men on the payroll and payroll was 6M a week. FPL went to the public utilities commission and begged for a rate increase. They didn’t get what they asked for, however, once they got it we got laid off.
If they cost of labor goes down prices will remain the same.

Sure. Not long back when I was in CA, while they were rolling out the red carpet for millions of water consuming illegals, at the same time told everyone to conserve on water. When everyone cut back about 10%, they simply jacked up the water rates.

Hard to believe people just keep taking this bull s**t.

When Westinghouse was making incandescent lightbulbs in the Midwest, Indiana i think, Jeffrey Ismelt closed the factory, killed 1400 jobs, built a plant in China making florescents bulbs, prices never went down.
He did however get a big raise from Westinghouse and Clinton made him the job czar. Crazy I know.

Article should be titled "the lawyers are coming". It has nothing to do with robots or AI. The guy is just trying to make an argument in favor of shyster lawyers and patent trolls. The big companies with deep pockets who want to do anything (robots or AI or anthing else) will be attacked by an army of bloodsuckers.

You just hit upon the reason corporations are in favor of progressive policies like welfare. They sell products to food stamp and welfare recipients. Those recipients get government money to pay for the products. Corporations also sell to government agencies at all levels. Corporations support progressive programs that spend money to solve problems, like data processing, office supplies, and weapons.

The government gets the money from future taxpayers. As long as there is a future with taxpayers who haven’t been born yet the government will be able to borrow money. Why do we have a national debt of over 20 trillion dollars?

1- Tie two 30 foot ladders onto my truck

2- Drive to my job site

3- Take ladders off truck put up on house tire them to house

4- Go up ladders and assess roof and put in roof anchors

5- All solar panels racking wiring. Etc. onto roof. Up those ladders

6- Take electrical panel off the wall ; take all the wires out for the new panel; put the new one in ; and put all the wires back rewire the entire electrical panel

7- Finish project; meet inspector and pass inspection

OK genius

Let me know when you find a robot that can do any of. 1-7. Ok ?
