I'm glad to see this tech is finally getting commercialized so people will stop denying it exists. Defense contractors have been selling this capacity for years. Although the gimmick of saying the "AI can see through walls" when it is using radio data to track you is a great grift.

Terahertz imaging has been a thing for a while as well i think most people who view technology only at a consumer gadgets level have no idea just how advanced a lot of poo poo is these days, and hiw rapidly its advancing, especially in biotech

I have a friend who's working in advanced radar or something that has a prototype laser gun that can image building interiors in real time 3D from the exterior, and is even able to detect heartbeats. He claims it's going to used by the firefighters to find people in burning buildings, but I think that's just what he tells himself to sooth his conscience. Edit, I think it's something like this: http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/960/1/012023/meta Necrothatcher has issued a correction as of 00:41 on Jun 21, 2018 |

I'm sure it'll be used by firefighters. Its the other people that'll use that are more concerning.

https://idiallo.com/blog/when-a-machine-fired-mequote:Once the order for employee termination is put in, the system takes over. All the necessary orders are sent automatically and each order completion triggers another order. For example, when the order for disabling my key card is sent, there is no way of it to be re-enabled. Once it is disabled, an email is sent to security about recently dismissed employees. Scanning the key card is a red flag. The order to disable my Windows account is also sent. There is also one for my JIRA account. And on and on. There is no way to stop the multi-day long process. I had to be rehired as a new employee. Meaning I had to fill up paperwork, set up direct deposit, wait for Fedex to ship a new key card.

not specifically cyberpunk but my best friend's mom, an only child who lived with his mom and works a lovely retail job (because millennial), was diagnosed with really late stage cancer and I was hoping for his sake that she passed quickly because I was worried that the medical bills would pile up and he would have to lose the house, basically the only significant thing in his inheritance. She died last night after doctors told her they thought she had maybe a month left and they were prepping for hospice. Literally cheering for a swift death.

Uranium Phoenix posted:At first I thought this was an excerpt from that dystopian story about AI managers taking over. Just in case people aren't aware, almost everything in that first chapter has been a reality since the 90s and has become the norm in warehouses around the world in the mid 2000s I'm trying to find articles about voice-directed warehousing in english but google only recommends articles and videos by the companies (and their shills) who love that technology because it increases productivity. I can think of this documentary in which they plant a mole in a Lidl warehouse to see how the technology works on the ground and ask employees about their working conditions (starting at about 18:20) but it's in french unfortunately. Even without understanding the language, the "a day in the life of a warehouse worker" part should give you an idea how terrible it is to have a robotic voice barking orders at you all day. x420ReDdIT_Br0nYx has issued a correction as of 15:02 on Jun 21, 2018 |

And heroin is a really effective cure for coughing (imagine a society where it's more polite to tie your arm and shoot up than to cough). Shame about those pesky side effects.

I sat through a presentation from a robotics manufacturer who was super loving excited about how many jobs his robots would eliminate Each robot arm removes 6-8 workers! Robots don't need heat! Robots don't need AC! Robots don't need water! Robots don't need smoke breaks! Robots don't need time off! Robots don't get injured! Robots can work 24/7 Robots need our love Guy was Futurama 80s business guy too

The Slack Lagoon posted:I sat through a presentation from a robotics manufacturer who was super loving excited about how many jobs his robots would eliminate The funny thing is that its all untrue. Robots need heat/AC to stay within their operating range, throw water in with AC, robots should probably take a break if they're smoking, robots need routine maintenance that takes them offline. Robots will absolutely break or break things requiring maintenance. I guess they can work 24/7 if you put those restraints on them. Robots probably don't want our love, see Westworld.
