BeachBot, an AI-powered robot that cleans cigarette butts at the beach
- joshtam 5y agoVery interesting. Wonder what would be the total addressable market for this kind of device.
- eurasiantiger 5y agoThe problem with this is the illusion it creates and how that affects human behavior. Now that a butt robot exists, people will think it matters less whether they collect theirs or not, even if the tech never gets realised. Given that this is only a concept, it’s hard to see that happening. Who would fund the actual development? What would be their ROI target for that investment, and where would the cash flow come from?
