Unfortunately the vast majority of deployments of current AI don't succeed. Soon the whole antiAI wave will be spreading to India imo

Either a.i will be banned in the work place for humanity to continue to work and toil or classical capitalism based on human toil isn't going to work in the future. It really comes down to two choices going forward. I want of course a future where robotics does the toil and provides for humanities basic needs...

I doubt I'll be banned as the billionaire class and the elites are hell bent on using it as it is economically beneficial to them in nearly everyway. Our goal is the convince the poor and middle class of how it can provide for us and that we don't need a system of toil anymore...

Yeah, l/acc for me. I'm just saying that current AI is not ready for enterprise-wide deployments.

DoorDash unveils Dot, its autonomous robot built to deliver your food

On Tuesday, DoorDash unveiled Dot, a small robot it built in-house that can autonomously drive on roads, bike lanes, and sidewalks to deliver food and small packages at speeds up to 20 miles per hour. Dot is designed to look friendly and even cartoonish — painted bright red, with big LED eyes and a mouth that swings open to reveal where it holds your food — though I’d argue it’s slightly creepy.

DoorDash says it’s already testing the robot with early access partners in the Phoenix metropolitan area, and plans to make it available to the region’s 1.6 million residents by the end of 2025.

It might sound odd for a food-delivery app like DoorDash to compete with trillion-dollar companies like Google and Tesla on autonomous vehicle (AV) technology. In San Francisco, Austin, and cities around the country, hailing a robotaxi is already commonplace for many residents. DoorDash argues that a similar reckoning is coming for the food delivery space, and that Dot’s size and design are key.

This would be amazing. I wish them success as we need robots in order to develop an economy that ends human toil based survival based economics.

By Brent D. Griffiths

Introduction:

(Business Insider)
• Elon Musk says AI will continue to replace desk jobs "at an accelerated rate."
• The xAI CEO told Joe Rogan, "There will be a lot of trauma and disruption along the way."
• Musk is still bullish on the future. In one scenario, he envisions a universal high income.

Elon Musk said AI will make desk jobs now feel like when workers used to make calculations by hand before the computer age.

"I think there will be actually a high demand for jobs, but not necessarily the same jobs," Musk recently told Joe Rogan on the comedian's podcast. "So I mean this is actually, this process has been happening throughout modern history."

The xAI CEO says AI is already replacing and will continue to replace desk jobs that are digitally centric, "at an accelerated rate."
"It's just happening," Musk said. "Like I said, AI is the supersonic tsunami."
