no, put them in like hockey goals so they can easily pop out and be put back in but you can still "penalize" (threaten to sue) the person responsible for hitting it. Make some money out of your city's lovely drivers/traffic planning.

e: lovely snipe, here's a feelgood article on how fast food places may finally be realizing AI is bullshit and people are cheaper and better at taking orders:

https://thetakeout.com/ai-voice-activated-drive-thru-lanes-fast-food-contracts-1851305332

quote:

Presto Automation supplies AI solutions, specifically voice recognition technology, to a number of major fast food chains including Checkers and Rally’s, Del Taco, and both Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s. Presto’s voice bots are in use across 145 Hardee’s, Carl’s Jr., and Wienerschnitzel restaurants as of February 1, 2024. Restaurant Business reports that the company also supplies digital ordering tablets to casual restaurant chains such as Applebee’s, Chili’s, and Red Lobster.

However, Presto has recently struggled to appease investors; the company is running out of money and has to figure out how to pay its lenders $6 million this month. To make matters worse, Presto is losing some of its biggest clients.

haha get hosed. Free market baby, guess your idea ain't worth your V.C. funding. Also sucks when people can talk online about how much they hate your new bullshit:

quote:

Other chains such as White Castle and McDonald’s have also tested out AI voice recognition in their drive-thru lanes. However, from the customer perspective these new technologies have been a mixed bag. When McDonald’s first tried out similar tech in one of its drive-thru lanes, internet users roasted the bots online for misinterpreting their orders.

Kinda surprised they're actually taking them out, unlike grocery stores that keep paying for self-checkout lanes even when they prove to be more expensive to operate than cashiers and maddening for customers and the poor staff who have to handle 4-8 self-checkouts at a time

e2: VVV For sure. Give them a chance to hit the warning fence, but after that it's Castle Doctrine and nobody wants their castle hit by a car.

Oh lmao we had a project where we were forced to program stupid interactive poo poo for a professors ~AI social robot~ and the voice recognition AI was was sooooo poo poo. I watched an armenian dude sit there repeating the word "apple" at the robot and slowly becoming more furious as it just refused to understand him and it was loving hilarious. Kinda poor design when apparently it can only (kinda) understand american accents when I was literally the only american taking that course...

I see my childhood toys there next to ball-and-cup and lawn darts and cornhusk dolls, a layer of rhetorical dust covering the whole thing, a plaque with a rolleyes emoji saying "how far we've come"

Press the button to incinerate these primitive gewgaws of yesteryear! We've got real games now!

...we had a set of Lawn Darts when I was little :corsair: That one I can kinda give to them, it's hard to believe that giving children heavy metal spikes to throw up into the air ever made it to store shelves.

South Park was also the very first time I was exposed to internet piracy way back in 1997, a friend of a friend had a burned CD of this cartoon from the US which had swearing in it!!! It wasn't shown on TV here in Australia for a whole year after it'd debuted in the US, none of the commercial TV stations would touch it and eventually the weird station which mostly showed foreign movies and international news picked it up

Quite the opposite, I'm just surprised that its still being produced. I thought that type of humor wouldn't have survived pas the 00's. It's like hearing that Cheers is still getting new episodes or something.

One of my childhood memories is from the third grade, when the teachers brought us all together to tell us not to watch the filthy new cartoon show on SBS because it was very rude and full of Wrong Things.

You can work out how well informing 40-odd kids with no prior awareness that South Park existed, and what time it aired, went.

Your cave had fire? Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at three o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY!
