    А мышей и крыс он сможет выловить в темном подвале при температуре -10?? Или хотя бы прибить их лазером или пулей и вытащить из помещения, что бы не запахло?? Тогда это бесполезный кусок пластика напичканный электроникой

    I don’t think robot pets is a replacement for a real pet. But robotic animals can be good for those who lives in houses where no animals are allowed or elderly people who have difficulties taking care of a real animal or those who suffer from allergies.

Andrew Yang’s 2020 presidential campaign was based on a warning that automation and AI would hollow out the labor market and concentrate wealth in the hands of a few. At the time, ideas like Universal Basic Income felt fringe. Now Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Bernie Sanders are all saying versions of the same thing.

An entrepreneur at heart, Yang has found a new way to put money back into the hands of the people — one phone bill at a time. On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan talks to Yang about his startup Noble Mobile, which pays you to use your phone less, ways to combat the “attention economy,” and what startups can do when the government won’t move.

01:15 Being right about AI and jobs (unfortunately)

02:09 Noble Mobile and getting paid to touch grass
