I see people taking cars for distances that would take 10-15 minutes to walk. If we're hunting to cut down on inefficiencies, there is a lot of stuff we could attack before a robot arm becomes impactful enough to care about.
- brookst 19d agoI genuinely don’t understand this binary thinking. You could easily turn it around: if we’re cutting down on inefficiencies, laundry folding robots will give people more time to exercise. Or, why bother going to the gym if you don’t eat healthily? Or, why bother eating healthy if you don’t go to the gym. Not trying to give you a hard time specifically, it’s just a pattern that I feel left out of. If A and B are both improvements over status quo, why does one obviate the other?
- bluebarbet 18d agoTrue, but both of you are missing my main point. >if we’re cutting down on inefficiencies, laundry folding robots will give people more time to exercise [...] going to the gym Exercising while a machine folds one's laundry is akin to running on a treadmill instead of running in the park. The technology is the inefficiency.
