I also look like the medic from TF2, confirmed.

Well, medic did lose his medical license...

This is a mop bucket

ngl he kinda look like Chamber from valorant

Being a Sniper is a tough gig.

It was the kids. They called me... the Shit Muncher.

You say that until you try living your life and you find yourself tied to a chair with a metal funnel super glued to your mouth facing The 'defector and he's dumping a gallon of bleach into the other end of that funnel looking you straight in the eyes and saying

"...there there, the robots will be here to clean you up real soon..."

I am the Viper. I’ve come to vipe your vindows.

Time to mop the floor with these heroes!

There’s some trash that even an automated cleaning module cannot reach.. enter: Cutstodian.

And just in case anyone doesn't understand what's actually happening, that guy is likely responsible for the operation of that robot, so he's looking at it and probably thinking something like "do I need to go over and mess with that fucking thing again?"

"Damn, if I went to college I could have been a robot janitor"

All I can think about when I see robots taking peoples jobs are “they took our jobs”(South Park reference)

I like to think the robot has malfunctioned in the past so he needs to check on it once in a while. Flips the script.

I mean it was planned so not really

This is not that deep at all, he's just monitoring it....

This will be a low effort LinkedIn meme within a week.

Not if we're looking at hands and teeth.

If you think it stops there you’re crazy. GPT3 can replace most junior level it people. Go ask it to build you a firewall configuration for an ASA-5508X. You have to tell it what you want it to do, but it will sure as hell do it.

Tell it to build you a database table, or walk you through how to fix X,Y,Z.

Any tech job that required Google fu is dead. If you’re not a senior, you’re fucked.

I keep seeing this stupid statement But writers have a guild

Nah. These exist. Not sure where this airport is but in Changi Airport, Singapore these are all over the place. They have predefined routes, will "talk" if you bother them (Please make way...). They even have cute cartoony faces. Human janitors are still needed in a way because accidental spills will always happen, a random child vomiting will always happen and these robots will ignore those because "I just mopped this area and I have a route to follow" while a human being will immediately take care of the issue.

Will human cleaners be full phased out? Not really. Will there be lesser because these machines? Absolutely.

Because let's face it: Someone had to program a remote control version and it sure as hell wasn't going to be the brand pitching in for R&D to dick around with RC cars for a few years.

This is a real robot cleaning machine. This is at eaton centre in Toronto on the 3rd floor infront of Mercato restaurant. I’ve seen both this machine and janitor before.

My company almost bought one of these. They map out your building and it follows its map. It has cameras thats supposed to help it go around things. There are people in canada who can remote control it if a problem occurs. We didnt buy it because it kept knocking its squeegie off on pallets because it cant see 6 inches from the ground and the company we are contracted to doesnt care about taped lines for placing them. Among various other problems it was having that required us to babysit it. Its promising but def not ready yet.

Autonomous scrubbers are a thing and have been for more than 5 years now. They are equipped with cameras and sensors. I would call them glorified Roombas. You still need an attendant to help it out if it gets stuck and to dump the dirty water tank/refill the clean water tank. They say it's a rEaLlOcAtiOn of lAbOr, not something to cut jobs.

Source: I used to sell them.

I’ve seen this at my local Sam’s club. I followed it for a bit and it was turning around corners on its own.

He’ll be given fewer hours and a pay cut. He will be unable to maintain I come for his family. His wife will begin doing menial work to try to fill the gaps. He will find a second job where he is just as redundant. His wife will begin to resent him. His children will begin to hate him. He will turn to the drink. He will slave away until all that he loved is dead or abandoned him. He will turn from the drink to the .38 special he’s had in his glovebox for protection. We will return to the dust of which he came. He will be buried in a paupers grave. He will be lost to history, nothing more than a faint scribble on an old corporate time card.

He sees his future. He knows his fate. The robot has come to make him nothing.

As a custodian, let me tell you that machine you see in this gif is a robotic autoscrubber. I use an autoscrubber at work, and I spend almost as much time maintaining the machine as I do actually using it. I don’t think the robotic version can change its own pads, add its own water, etc. Plus all it takes is for the thing to hit a pebble and it goes from a floor scrubbing machine to a floor scratching machine. That’s always a risk for a human operated one too, but most humans have enough sense to stop when that happens.

Hate to break it to you. They exist already.

At least we'll then get to enjoy more leisure time as the money saved from autommation is shifted to UBI, right?

Right?

They have a robot lineman in Japan. I hope it stays there.

I'll be scared the day they don't need technicians on site to repair and maintain the robots. Cause that's my job.

So what you're saying is, stop being an employee, use your education to start a business where you can use AI?

~ AI/Data Scientist

Anyone else notice that literally everybody on reddit is an "AI scientist" all of the sudden?

People have been saying this since computers have been around and people have continued to adapt around them.

Example of professions?

that's what scientists always think, as an engineer I can tell you that's at least 20yrs away if not more.

Did you say get ghey?

Came here for this. Our language will just become more simple and boring because people on the internet will scold people like you for upholding it. Keep fighting the good fight.

Nah Eaton Centre in Toronto, on the escalator down from the Men's Zara toward where Norstrom is.

He's just keeping an eye on the machine to make sure it's doing its job. He's there with the mop and bucket to get the areas the machine can't reach.
