They presently pay Cops about $30000cdn a month. Might be US dollars; anyway, that salary level is one of the many things wrong in Sandland.

Pop this in here: because it's very current and is an example of how AI software is dictating a macro environment of cultural habits.
Individual entrepreneurship being subject to a corporate onslaught of droids policing what we view which in the end stifles innovative growth.

The craziest shit is the countless numbers of people who have said I am paranoid and that if anything overall demand for human labour will increase as robotics and automation increase employment opportunity. These very people will hit the erase button on that train of thought as if it never stood when they have become more acclimated to their new normal.
It's not robots programmed with a bunch of predictable responses and commands, it's humans too!. What the hell happens to those with mortgages when the next wave of automation rears it's ugly head?

Robots That Dance
Quote:
Robots, as artificial humans, reflect how we think about ourselves—a major topic of Meaningness. Popular ideas about what it means to be human, and science fiction about what robots could be, strongly influence academic research in cognitive science and neuroscience. Advances in science, engineering, and philosophy also feed back into popular understanding of humanness.
I wrote this informal robotics research proposal sometime around 1990. I didn’t pursue it—this was just before I left the field—and didn’t publish it. However, it was widely circulated electronically, and I think it influenced other researchers’ work. It was probably premature, and may still be, but it articulates themes that, after a couple of decades of neglect, have started to reemerge in cognitive science, robotics, and artificial intelligence research.
For readers of Meaningness, it explains some aspects of being human that are central to the account of meaning that pervades the book. (Actually writing that still seems assigned to the distant future, so this may be helpful background.) Understanding the proposal mostly requires no knowledge of robotics; just ignore the technical bits.
For AI and robotics researchers, this might suggest fresh approaches. Most of what I proposed has not been seriously attempted—not, I think, because it is too difficult, but because it was so different from the then-mainstream. Some of these ideas are similar to ones that have come again into vogue, so this may be timely.

It's definitely coming up in conversation with my generation (around 30) and I hear about more and more younger cousins, brothers, or sisters entering Robotics 101. They'll be in early enough at least before we just have robots to build the robots.
Mostly complimentary I'm sure as well, but to take away all basic labor would create a big need for well, a basic income.
I have no worries, or not too many, but it makes me think of something.
When I was a kid, the garbage men would come and there would be two guys on the back of the truck as well as the driver, cracking jokes as they tossed the stinky pails.
By the time I was out of high school they just had a big robotic armloader on the side.
I do wonder whatever happened to those other two guys.
Someone wants me to make a custom security system for his house. I tried Arduino but it was a pain. This should have more than enough computing power and built in Wifi.
They are so cheap a dozen of them could be placed with sensors all over the place.
Why pay $50 per month to a security service when an AI could monitor your house and call your smartphone.

If they can drive a car at 70 mph then it can watch a house that does not move. _________________ Physics is Phutile
