it’s not been useful anywhere else - no self driving cars, no laundry helpers - just some idiotic animatronic carcasses that are barely able to walk around, and semi autonomous killer bots on ukraine frontlines.
- esseph 4mo ago> and semi autonomous killer bots on ukraine frontlines. They did fully autonomous tests in 2022 through 2024. Something like everything in a 5km radius was dead. Various sources in mainstream media online about this now.
- khalic 4mo agoNo this is just the ones people understand. An AI that folds proteins for you is world altering, it’s just not as sexy as “killer drone”.
- amalcon 4mo agoThe most lucrative uses of deep neural networks today are ad targeting and recommendation algorithms. Those are other places.
- khalic 4mo agoNo this is, again, just the front facing uses that people fixate on. The most lucrative uses should be in fintec, just by the shear volumes of cash there
- SpicyLemonZest 4mo agoI saw over a dozen self driving cars on my way to work today. Weave Robotics launched a laundry helper months ago, although my sense is that "laundry folding" is a bit of a meme and people don't actually care very much about automating it.
- pesus 4mo agoI strongly disagree. Tedious yet necessary and ultimately unending tasks are exactly what the average person wants from automation.
- SpicyLemonZest 4mo agoYes, but we just don’t fold that much laundry and you can easily do it while watching streaming videos. Most people don’t even own a laundry folding board.
- pesus 4mo agoI think you're underestimating how much laundry there is for families. But in general, it's one of the tedious things that people want automation to handle. They may not buy something just for folding laundry, but if it can do other household chores I think it could be a big success. That's a ways off in the future, though.
