Onstar narcing on unsuspecting, paying car customers resulting in higher insurance rates due to the smaller, daily infractions?
- GM gets found out bc of this class action lawsuit, backtracks bc suddenly “customer privacy is a priority for us...”prophetone
- This is the future, these under the radar, smaller, incremental creeps into legacy/ new tech to leverage data ultimately for you guessed it, moneyprophetone
- We’re used to this concept online as we sign up for social media etc... but these supposed closed systems (car tech) exist as helpful saviours, but really...prophetone
- I don’t own a Tesla but I’m betting you cannot buy one without first agreeing to allow the car to be in constant contact with mothership = unnervingprophetone
- Could be wrong on that but point is there’s something calming about driving in that 90s Corolla with barely enough tech in there to even keep car runningprophetone

This electric hydrofoil is brilliant_niko - I hope this actually becomes something used across the planet.lvl_13

Why even go birdwatching anymore? Just send me the pics via Vision Pro.- I don't think this is bad. But does it work on anything else than just animals? Plants, etc?NBQ00

Nuclear battery produces power for 50 years without needing to charge
Betavolt says its battery could power mobile phones that never need to be charged and drones that can fly forever

Hmm. I don't think i have seen human-looking robot hand gestures like these before. On some levels more impressive than the Boston Dynamics parkour robots.
- I understand the appeal. Like you said, "on some levels" it seems more impressive. I'm all for replicating arthropod mechanics which are much more impressive.palimpsest
- Walks away like it shit its pants, tho.jagara
- When are I Robot-like robots a mass market thing? 50 years? Less? Not happening?jagara
- I don't think it will be happening. It's fun in the movies but we'll soon catch up to reality. I have faith in humanitypalimpsest
- The sooner we realize we are not the pinnacle of evolution and that evolution never stops the better off we'll be.palimpsest
- Arthropods have been it at our longer and have have more efficient mechanics than we do.
Arthropods FTW.palimpsest - So what do you suggest? Insect-like robots? Or are you just changing the subject to something entirely different?jagara
- If you are building robots to do generalized human tasks, giving them human form makes immediate sense, IMO. Not a robotics expert.jagara
- I'm not trying to change the subject, I think we can interact with "machines" in a human manner without them even having a body: ChatGPT.palimpsest
- I think the humanoid robot is a old idea and that there are more efficient solutions. I'm not a robotics expert either. I just have a big mouf.palimpsest

- want to try the free version but I'm 12,400 in line! lol.
I don't mind paying but $288/US for the year is a little steep for a novelty toy_niko - that may or may not work well_niko
