Now, the drone-captured data is sent off to contractors at SewerAI, who run it through their AI-assisted algorithms to identify defects automatically.
Now this is the kind of AI shit (pun intended) I can get behind (pun even more intended).
This is the kind of AI that will change the world, not the word salad machines that burn through massive amounts of compute to sound kind of intelligent. The ability to train an AI model to identify problems is incredibly useful, whether it’s sewer blockages or cancer cells.
yep. all we have to do is keep incrementally improving lives with tech, instead of being assholes to each other. Imagine the world, if peace was the most researched branch
Marianne Williamson got laughed at about this in the 2020 US primary, but she was the only person who meaningfully advocated for peace among nations, going so far as to propose a Department of Peace.
Peace isn’t something that can be managed in its own department. Peace is the (unstable) result of a lot of other things being very carefully managed.
Sounds like a shitty job.
AI is great at doing shitty jobs.
And ai is shitty at doing great jobs
Yeah I’m sure he regrets quitting his job to pass butter
“What is my purpose?”
“You clean poop chutes.”
“NOT LIKE THAT! NOT LIKE THAT!”
Cue the worship of the “Master” that sends them holy shit a la “Reason” by Isaac Asimov.
This is honestly such an uplifting news that gives me hope for the future.
Prefer this over stories like a 10 year old that raised money to make up for lack of health care or some dystopian thing like that.
Two words I never thought I’d see together… poop drone.
Honestly I though somebody was using drones to throw shit at people below.
Well I’m glad it’s this and not a drone made of poop.
Why do I believe if Mythbusters was still on the air they’d actually try this.
Adam savage has yt channel, basically he’s doing whatever. Adam and Jamie doesn’t seem eye to eye, by his experience with him, it was mostly professional relationship
Well, that’s a brand new sentence.
Who services the poop drones I ask you…
Some unlucky roboticist is stuck cleaning poop off treads, testing sensors and resoldering connections while wearing gloves and just hoping they don’t tear…
The same people who cleans the mess from those adult videos and the confetti from AGT/BGT.
Surely just throw it in the dishwasher
Sewer drone found footage could make a great horror movie.
Please don’t give Hollywood any ideas… like the Blair witch project.
One job that we can happily hand over to robots
So much for Mike Rowes dirty jobs.
(Jk, those things were always a load of shit anyway.)
eh…
mike rowe’s full of shit. don’t think for a moment any of those jobs were made up though.
Man now I miss cash cab…
I remember he was shilling for trump after he won his first term, he was trying to play it off “it’s not that bad” that he got voted.
It’s basically like saying “illegal immigrants” aren’t made up for Trump. Like, obviously people coming into the country illegally exist, but the dude was just making shit up when it came to the actual numbers.
iirc he was a musician before this gig so… yeah, hard working blue collar stuff rrwwarr ford tuff hemi merika fuckyea
They need to make mining drones mandatory, too. Humans have no business being in holes. They are not their holes, they do not belong in them.
I’m looking at you, spelunkers.The bots yearn for the mines
Humans have no business being in holes
Thus, sex became forbidden, and humanity declined, with last generation asking their ancestors why would they impose such harsh ban upon them shortly before extinction.
I had poop drones on my bingo card!
Have vaginal scented candles been invented?
You are multiple years too late on vagina candles: https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2020/jan/13/why-is-gwyneth-paltrow-selling-a-candle-that-smells-like-her-vagina-goop
That’s a bingo! Is that how you say it?
We are all poop drones on this glorious day.
Remind me of that James Bond scene https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9h1zn7l86HA
I almost beat Sewer Shark. I was made for this!
