"Please cease your current activity and go clean the restroom." *employee does so* "I see you are in the restroom, while here, please clean it." (manager bot docks employee 5 performance points) *restroom is already clean* "I see you are in the restroom, while here, please clean it." (manager bot docks employee 5 performance points) *employee leaves the clean restroom* "There's an issue with the restroom, your next task is to clean it." (manager bot docks employee 5 performance points) *employee enters the clean restroom, has nothing to do, leaves* "There's an issue with the restroom, your next task is to clean it." (manager bot docks employee 5 performance points) Repeat ad infinitum. Yeah, I can't see anything going wrong with this idea.

boner confessor posted:uh, roads already existed before the mass adoption of automobiles. roads changed very little in comparison to the way people used roads. cars themselves were adapted for roads, the already extant infrastructure, and not the other way round Partially right and partially wrong. Early cars were adapted to the roads that were in use. But the roads that were in use at the time were adapted to horses. Don't try to tell me roads changed from dirt/gravel to concrete/asphalt because concrete/asphalt is the ideal surface condition for a horse-drawn carriage. Roads adapted to human-driven cars from horses as human-driven cars became more ubiquitous. Not a stretch to imagine a future where roads adapted to human-driven cars will change as autonomous vehicles become more ubiquitous. This isn't technobabble or future-fetishism.

Stopping technological progress sounds like a great way to lose the war against Eurasia.

You'll just suck on the end of the tube to get your legally mandated ration as you hurl through the air prone and stacked in cages to maximize space usage. Please...only the poors will have to take the cattle air-cars. The rich will be able to pay people to fly places for them.
