smarxist posted:hear me out; the little robot is delivering food probably directly subsidized by venture capital that's been laying dormant in shelters for years after dodging taxes or just got freshly minted in some kind of crypto scam, so i think taking the food from the cart and forcing the end customer to refund it and re-order at the expense of the delivery company is a moral imperative on your part, you have to eat food that's nominally free on the dime of venture capital seeking to further tighten its grip on society lol if the delivery service isn't contingent upon forcing the customer to "agree" that the courier isn't liable for loss/damage in transit.

There's no way these stupid things can be cost effective. People are going to be destroying them for fun and profit constantly.

Like the first time that thing encounters a drunk person it's going to be kicked over and looted. And it probably costs at least $5,000, probably quite a bit more.

A sharp rise in black fungus cases during India’s catastrophic second Covid-19 wave has exposed the consequences of overmedication as stretched doctors flout prescription guidelines and panicked patients self-medicate. The overprescription of steroids, in particular, to treat Covid-19 patients has been blamed for an explosion of fatal black fungus infections and a shortage of the drug to treat it. Doctors have reported a surge of patients suffering from black fungus or mucormycosis, an infection with a mortality rate of at least 50 per cent that starts in the nose and quickly spreads to the eyes and brain.

corn haver posted:Most of them are total pieces of junk and the startup that makes them is looking to get bought. Of the ones that work fairly well outdoors, the best use case would be central areas in a bougie (and flat) university town on a limited number of routes, or in an otherwise controlled environment. It's hard to imagine how that would end up costing less than paying a gig servant whatever minimum crumb they're required to under applicable law. And college towns are full of kids looking for work. And some drunk guy is still going to give it a good kick before long. Maybe it starts to make sense if the entire system costs under $1,000 or so.

And college towns are full of kids looking for work. The real application of autonomous vehicles that's going on right now is in manufacturing and distribution. Capital is replacing a vehicle operator or a proportion of vehicle operators in exchange for needing a much smaller number of skilled technicians who can work on complex mechanical and electrical systems. I imagine in a couple of years there will be a huge shortage of those people though so it may swing back to less skilled labor to some degree in the short or medium term.

corn haver posted:If the college administration gets one more student to go to Cornfed U after a campus tour because of the wonderful delivery robot that definitely works as expected, they just got their ROI right there. I don't know the market that well, but I would imagine a good portion of the deployments are pretty impractical even if the vehicle performs amazingly well but the sizzle sells it. Does that happen? Slots just go unused? It was decades ago but the places I applied to had more applicants than spots. If they had extra spots they'd just lower their admission standards until all the spots were full.

Universities love wasting money on dumb bullshit, like a 20 million dollar renovation to the business school or giving the law school extra comfy chairs. Until it's something that helps poor students or humanities majors in which case there's just no budget for it.

Instead of sending a runner down to the cafeteria to pick you up a sandwich, the cafeteria can send one right to your office. Or you could have the robot take a file or small parcel from one office to another within the same site. Like how Segway was going to revolutionize transportation, but then most governments said "no this isn't legal on our streets nor sidewalks" so they mostly get used on private land.
