This is what actual, functional warehouse robots look like. They don't even attempt to look human in any way shape or form. They also don't have independent computing, its really just one system that tells a bunch of carts with suckers where to shuffle things.

And it still has humans at the end cuz ultimately the goal is to hand stuff off to customers lol, just a lot fewer humans. Probably more similar to containerization than anything else in terms of overall impact/import.

Yeah this is what I was thinking of.

I know from a technical perspective it's impressive to make a machine/AI that replicates human qualities (physical or mental), but practically it makes no sense because you're essentially saying "How can I make dinner using only a tin can, a zippo, and a swiss army knife?" Obviously it's impressive to do that, but practically you aren't limited in this way and can reimagine the work or process.

It's like Sci-Fi books that fall into the Star Trek trap of "everything is humanoid".

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

warehouses are pretty flat but not that flat. also the ultimate goal is robot soldiers and you need to go up the leg research tree to get those so you might as well just use leg for everything

My hypothesis is the rich are trying to keep things going just long enough that autonomous weapons became feasible then they're gonna kick the stool out from under us

I do like how one of the most well known cyberpunk books is a parody of cyberpunk.

A lot of the best cyberpunk is pretty knowingly absurdly stupid.

When Amazon receives poo poo they scan it all and double check it's exactly what you said it is and within their requirements. If you're slightly off they will penalize you and hold all your stuff until you go into seller central and review the issue, and check a box acknowledging the issue. Meanwhile they'll repackage the goods for a fee, but if not possible they trash it. If you're way off or have repeat infractions they'll trash your stuff and ban you from thier fulfillment.

I've seen videos of their actual pickers working, they also warehouse and transport a wide array of unboxed items for packaging internally.

When I'm not subbed in twitch and then it's like 5 30 second ads at what seem like random times. I think they're tied to periods of fresh activity. Like I'll be working and they won't start laying until I task over and try and chat
