i don't know how I feel about this

one on hand, i'd rather eat a burger made by a robot just to know a teen didn't spit it in or cum in it for keks

on the other hand, i'm the type of person who deliberately goes to a small family owned retaurant knowing i'm directly benefiting someone instead of giving money to a megacorp

You guys are hypocrites. If there was a burgercoin to go along with the robot, promising decentralized burger fabrication on a trustless meshnet, you'd be all over it.

You won't see anything like this in a chain franchise in your lifetime. It's just a marketing tool for one store in LA. McDonald's and the other chain restaurants won't be requiring this for their franchisees in your lifetime - there's too little quality control, too much opportunity for contamination, and that kind of tech isn't even stable enough to run in that one store. You'd need real AI, and that doesn't exist yet, most "AI" is skip logic, and that's not good enough for food prep - and you'd need workers to load, maintain, and monitor them, even if they did get them working reliably enough to manufacture and install in franchises. Not in your lifetime.

>> No.9674684

>>9674514
>You'd need real AI
Nah, not even, you could totally do it with classical programming, or the kind of feedback loops you can see in high-end manufacturing.
But the robots themselves are too expensive. Robots are fine when you make very high markup products (electronics), or very simple products (moulded plastic shit) because they raise the reliability and/or the troughput of your chain.
And even then, they only use robots that do one action, on repeat. AI won't make the machine more stable.

haven't had McD for years now, I never enjoyed it much, after 1,5 years of no McD I was stoned and hungry so I got some since it was the only place open. Was sick for the next 3 days, since then I just starve myself whenever I'm high and hungry.

Yeah, I've heard that one before kek. Obviously there's 0 demand for workers that cost nothing beyond the initial purchase and never stop working.

Yeah, 1 human, instead of a dozen employees. So fucking what, that still means x12 fewer McDonald's employees.

Robots can't replace humans in any kind of chaotic environment, they break down too easily and require service workers.

I really hope those who live pay check to pay check get absolutely rekt when all the jobs go.

You really think rich are just going to give you their new found profits?

Just look at what is happening now with big business, soon the government will be begging corporations for gibs as their main source of theft (income tax) will be gone.

I’ll be sure to buy some good shit from national museums and archives for my personal collection.

the tech isnt there for complicated food production, and wont be for a long time.
there is automation in food, but only for simple actions and conveyor belt style service.

I've seen this and similar shit before. it's a way away from being practical i think.

i also think the warehouse robots that sort materials and pack them into boxes are very impressive.
