    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).

        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.

    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.

    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…

    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.

      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 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.
