Meatpacking robots:

JBS, one of the largest producers of meat in the world, is considering robotic meatpackers for its future workforce. When technology gets to the point that the robots can accurately and reliably sense bones in the meat, they'll be able to butcher it and pack it.
There are 250,000 meatpacking jobs in the US that are at risk from this technology. A 2013 study by Oxford University found that 45% of US jobs will come under risk from automation in the next 20 years. Gartner tech consulting firm predicts that 1/3rd of jobs will be done by smart machines by 2025.
A few decades ago, a meatpacking job was enough to support a family.

how come there's no auto at the exec level? their 'decisions' could certainly be improved by inputting all the data into an AI program

THAT would save shareholders untold billions -- replace entire top floor with a couple of data entry indians

first company that does this, i become shareholder

Anyone watch "person of Interest"? It's about nice AI in New York. It is on Netflix.

Automated labour, self driving cars, globalized manufacturing

The age of mass unemployment is upon us! :]

Best quote from that thread:

We are replacing humans, not merely human labor. This isn't a case where the humans go off and do something else - the robots can do that something else too.


Your only possible argument here is that there is something special about humans that robots will never be able to match, which sets them apart from us and allows us to do things they can't do.


Unfortunately for you, there's no evidence to suggest robots can't do anything and everything humans can - it's literally just a matter of technological development.

Humans better think of things we can do that robots can't if we want to stay useful! Otherwise we all die or become welfare queens!

what will really get things rolling will be when the robots can redesign themselves. I'm 100% confident that man is producing very inefficient robots in both structure, movement and processor design. I think once the machines can get a chance to do some design they will work this out pretty quickly and produce a machine with capabilities far in excess of anything we've seen or thought of to date.

I also find it interesting that current mil spec design of war devices is looking at very high energy weapons. Makes you wonder how they are sourcing their energy.
