RE: Robots Against Humanity: Ameca Humanoid Robot At CES 2022

Interesting read as always. I think you're right that robots would be especially good for dangerous and high risk tasks/jobs. I don't know if I like the idea of robots working in service industries...🤔
It's interesting that robots are made to look like humans. It's completely unnecessary but obviously done to make humans comfortable interacting with them. It's strange to think about though. The purpose is to replace a human with an artificial human and therefore replace human to human interaction. In some ways a humanoid robot is really inefficient as well. A single robot or multiple, at a hotel reception desk or similar venue would be a waste actually. Multiple touchscreens (like you see in restaurants now) with a human projected on them that you can interact with would probably be faster for the clients and cheaper for the company and there would still be that human interaction.
This is an interesting point.
If a person can buy a robot to send to work, most like the company will be able to buy hundred times more and make them do the work for free, instead of sending a paycheck to somebody.
I'll admit that I have thought that people would buy robots to send to work but you are totally right. That makes no sense. A company would just buy the bot themselves or lease them.
This is only slightly related but have you ever watch the TV series - Devs?
Yes, I have seen some of the episodes of the Devs. I don't remember the details now, but I think stopped watching once someone was killed, and it took a dark turn.
I see. It sounds like you gave up on it quite early then before it go into the really interesting super computer stuff. It sounds like it wasn't for you, which is fine (obviously lol). I would have thought that it would be something you would like based on some of the other shows you've mentioned in the past.
