Things like this is why I’m starting to think a universal basic income is a good idea. This will shake the economy in ways we haven’t even imagined. I’m even for something like, if the technology becomes available, have government loan an individual if they want their consciousness and minds transplanted into a quantum computer and then be transplanted into a mechanical/robotic body that is durable, infinitely upgradeable and impervious to injury, hunger and disease. If we become machines, we simply adapt to the evolving mechanization and automation of society and getting into jobs would be easier, the only pay is a consistent and continuous recharge to be alive and productive, and maybe some actual monetary compensation so we could afford vacations, going to school to gain more knowledge and degree, etc.

Agreed with ubi, but the rest of your post is not real.not technology that exists at this point. And biz owners wouldn’t want humans In mech body when robots can do what they want

@Ralph Rodriguez I’m probably thinking of neuralink when I mentioned that kind of tech. It’s a prototype technology that potentially leads there.

@iSyriux that’s all well and good but what do we do in the mean time….? that is….unless you have the completly fleshed out resolutions to these problems we can implement starting tomorrow?
John Taylor
April 9, 2021 at 10:39 pm
@John Thumble In a good economy a market will be created for those jobs. This is the process of creative destruction. Jobs are destroyed and no longer profitable and new jobs are created. The iPhone took away jobs and revenue from companies that made cameras and calculators. Uber takes away jobs from Taxi companies. Farming tech takes away jobs from the farming industry. As these markets require less jobs new markets are or will be created that implement them.

– For streaming stocks, BUY Amazon Prime, Disney+, Netflix.
Best companies: Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Nvidia, Microsoft, Netflix so these are the stocks you want to own. Also Wells Fargo, Disney for the recovery.

This is really oooold news.. Go to a logistics expo and you will find companies doing this for years. For 98% automating boxes ‘same shoebox size’ is not applicable for their logistics business. You just jumped onto the Boston dynamics name without research.

Picking up a heavy box from the top, without lifting / supporting from the bottom is not going to work. I feel this is BD’s least impressive release. During the interview the engineer revealed how unknowing he was and the rest of the BD was / is about what it is like to work in back of truck loading and unloading. I have always been AMAZED with earlier BD reveals, but Stretch REALLY underwhelmed me.

How light does a cardboard box have to be to be able to be lifted from the top or the side of the box alone, and what percentage of boxes are that lightweight? Is there a heavier lifting version too?
