Cue the worship of the “Master” that sends them holy shit a la “Reason” by Isaac Asimov.

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.

Ten year olds operate the drones 👀

Two words I never thought I’d see together… poop drone.
tauren@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
Honestly I though somebody was using drones to throw shit at people below.
MeatPilot@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Well I’m glad it’s this and not a drone made of poop.
billwashere@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Why do I believe if Mythbusters was still on the air they’d actually try this.
Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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.
j0ester@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
The same people who cleans the mess from those adult videos and the confetti from AGT/BGT.

Surely just throw it in the dishwasher
psyvibe@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
Sewer drone found footage could make a great horror movie.
j0ester@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Please don’t give Hollywood any ideas… like the Blair witch project.
El_Azulito@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Well, that’s a brand new sentence.

One job that we can happily hand over to robots
MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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.Flameshark@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
The bots yearn for the mines
Demdaru@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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.

So much for Mike Rowes dirty jobs.
(Jk, those things were always a load of shit anyway.)
mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago

mike rowe’s full of shit. don’t think for a moment any of those jobs were made up though.
Man now I miss cash cab…

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.
aesthelete@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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.

I almost beat Sewer Shark. I was made for this!

Robots are taking over our jobs… did folks who work is sewers make good money because it wasn’t a pleasant job?
Saleh@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
Why are you flying the drones though? Just give them wheels and call them robots.
Costs less, is easier to operate, uses less energy, can be used in smaller spaces…
Texas_Hangover@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Or you could read the article. Wheels ain’t gonna work down there bro.
Saleh@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
There is no mention why wheels wouldnt work.
They only mention that flying is difficult because of confined space and changing airflows.

Lmao, they outsourced pooping to drones.
And I was doing it for free too.

Now this is the kind of AI shit (pun intended) I can get behind (pun even more intended).
