The checkout machine at my local supermarket requires supervision 40% of the time, it didn't stop them sacking 10 cashiers and replacing them with 10 robots and a fat old lady with a swipe card who presses buttons when the machines gently caress up (which is all the goddamn time)

it's hilarious watching people shrug off a 90% workforce reduction because it literally isn't every employee replaced

Wouldn't you want an automated judge?

This is a far more interesting question than the surgeon and driver stuff (which is only a matter of time). But a robot judge would be almost impossible because how the gently caress do you codify morality and fairness into a set of logical rules that a robot can follow?

How would they ever 3d map every road in the country? Strap a 3d scanner on the top of cars and pay people to drive them around? Pfft, that's never going to happen, some company would have to pay a huge amount of money to get such a view of the street, a Street View if you will.

Actually that's the easy part, the hard part is being able to turn the extremely vague and weird world into something that can enter a deductive logical process, which is almost impossible and is specifically the thing computers are the worst at

I have several family members working in transplant management and I've discussed this with them on several occasions. Routine procedures (like organ/tissue removal) require a human to identify the parts that stay and the parts that go, otherwise the bus basically drives itself.

That's why it scares me so much. I figured even just with every human being different sizes, that stuff is dangerous enough. But I see articles online periodically about 'Robots can do this invasive surgery now and use tubes to tunnel and remove such and such more steadily than any human hand ever could' It just makes me think people are really interested in it and expect it to be some perfectionist, because "No human error." But even if we lived hundreds of years from now when it was the norm, it would still terrify me.

Don't worry, the newly announced nVidia 1080 graphics card is "the largest chip project endeavor in the history of humanity" so we've got our priorities straight. The world's R&D money is dedicated to allowing us to pwn noobs in 4k instead of doing lame poo poo like life-saving robot surgeons.

drat straight. You did however miss the nVidia release a couple weeks ago where they have cards that can drive cards, deep learn, render mt. everest in real time, and make art. Goons (myself included) only give a poo poo about more pretty explosions on our screens.

There's an old hilarous video card commercial along those lines though, where they talk about how the card can save lives, grow food, etc, and then "nah, we'll use it for games" and they show all the peeps dying. Can't find it at all sadly :(

When they say robots they dont mean autonomous robots they mean instruments operated by actual surgeons which they call robots because it sounds cooler. And so far robot assisted surgery has same or worse outcomes than conventional surgery but reps push it anyway and it's popular among old surgeons who are physically borderline hoping it csn give them anothee 5 years before they're forced to retire

Also the thing people are less tolerant of than human error is machine error. A human can apologize or be punished, but a computer usually means whoever made it is responsible, legally snd otherwise.
