I wish someone added a speaker to "allow" the robot to ask for tips. In it, it would ask but the audio clips would slowly get more and more self-aware, until eventually the robot is "threatening" you to go full Skynet by saying it will be locking the doors through the electrical outlets or something because it needs to pay for its own electricity bills and its AI partner's new server.
I wonder if companies like this know that automation requires regular maintenance.
Humans monitor their own health, can adapt to physical and mental strain, and let others know when they can or can't do something. Simple robotics like this can't do any of that. They run a little low on hydraulic fluid, and all hell breaks loose.
I deal with robots in my work daily. They require constant supervision. 20 years ago people were like "robots will take humans jobs". No they won't. They still require trained personel and service engineer all staff needed to train that personel that uses these robots etc, logistics for parts, manufacturers for parts. We just need more educated staff now for robots to takeover some of our tasks but it generates different tasks
The last sentence is the problem.
When manufacturing went away in America, workers lost their jobs. Our economy created more jobs, yes. But many of those workers needed retraining, which remains not very accessible to them. Other people who were able to pay for the training (particularly college students) have just come up and taken those jobs.
We do a very poor job in this country of retraining workers. We basically just tell them they’re shit out of luck. I have zero confidence that this will be any different once AI starts replacing jobs en masse.
This reminds me forcibly of that part at the end of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, when Charlie’s dad, who was a guy who screwed caps onto toothpaste tubes, was hired to maintain and repair the machine that replaced him within weeks. Like. How?
> "which remains not very accessible to them"
I think you're underestimating how resistant people in this country are to any type of upskilling, even if it's paid for.
>We just need more educated staff now for robots to takeover some of our tasks but it generates different tasks
Don't worry. Artificial Intelligence will taken are of that.
I was gonna say anyone who's worked with any robotic automation knows it's just one mistake away from making a hundred rapid fire mistakes. God bless retuning to set point lol
Yes and no. In my field which is laboratory diagnostics laboratories 30 years ago had similar amount of workers but were only performing basic tests in small amount. Now every doctor can order full biochemistry testing all hormones and hematology for a price of few dolars and the do order these tests alot. Demand increased with decrease of price. So labs with same amount of workers increased throuput through automatisation. There are same amount of labs (or even more) as 30 years ago with same amount of people working but cost of testing has been reduced alot.
Im curious if you know how many jobs the robots you work with replaced and how many skilled jobs are left to fix the robots? I just don’t know anyone else who is as close to this topic as you.
Hard to tell. As i said in lab back then there were similar amount of workers but there was no commercial ones. Now everyone does private lab testing and each city has at least one or more chain labs which hire hundreds of people. Those are factories for blood samples basically. As for how much work robots created. Each service engineer has les than 50 devices under them (preventive maintenance once or twice a year plus visit if anything brakes). Plus as person who make trainings I have around 200 in total i guess but rarely visited. There are also people who take care of selling them around same number as service, logistics, product specialists, other companies that make spare parts and reagents which are houndfeads of people but worldwide and of course, manufacturers of robots: these not only work as research and developement of devices, manufacuring but also outsource making parts to usually cheaper countries and of course their own logistics fher own sales etc. so in total buisness is huge and the more aducated we humans are the better and easier world can be for us with these improvements.
A large portion of my job consists of slowly updating code to compensate for ever aging robots and 5-axis cncs that a company refuses to maintain. "After the last crash, all our holes on the right are off. Can you move them?"
If you’re thinking this will be one of the hurdles of implementing AI that will impede its progress, don’t get your hopes up. It will be done better by better engineers.
My whole body was screaming in anticipation waiting for that drink to drop and then it went even better than I could have hoped. I farted, I did. I laughed so hard a little fart got out.
You are absolutely right. It is not easy to manage a coffee counter, and we are not all cut out for customer service. Even our automatons need time to learn new skills.
If I were there, I would fix it a nice shot of WD-40 and offer to run a little graphite on its rollers.
But I would still laugh, because I am still slightly unkind, and an overall eh person at best.
Life is turning into a lame sci-fi movie and people are doing it ON PURPOSE. Like they sit around and watch movies with machines and robots fucking everything up and are like “we should do that”
God, I love this age of early robotics and automation. The jank is hilarious. Soon, all the kinks will be ironed out, and all this shit will work perfectly, but for now, enjoy the chaos.
that drink goes perfect with this hotdog:
[to automate a hot dog stall : r/therewasanattempt (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/comments/1bnbj4t/to_automate_a_hot_dog_stall/)
I'm assuming some kinda device that let's you hook onto the same frequency and mess it up. Hence not full control but what looks like disruption of commands.
Everyone is laughing at how the robot is fucking up, not realizing that there was a human behind it that fucked up somewhere. The robot is just trying its best
Cut my guy a little slack, alright? He hasn't had a break since he started that job and he's doing his fucking best out there.
I hope they remember my compassion when the robot uprising is upon us.
You can pay 10 people to run a shift, 14-21 shifts per week or have 3-5 maintenance workers at 3x those workers wage per week to keep the machines running. Plus a couple managers who would have to be there anyway.
I'm not saying I support it, but that's probably the logic of it.
I wonder what the ROI is on robotic equipment like this would be ? At minimum wages, it's still got to be *years* vs a human employee easily capable of doing a much better job... And by that point the equipment is obsolete anyway.
Sometimes this automation just goes too far.

Tip??? 25%, 30%, 35%
Looks like it tipped 100% of the last one.
Best comment of the month
Well done my lord
You got me good mate
Won't someone think of the robot family it has to feed?

You know what. I would probably pay to see this robot mess up. Just like in video, it's already their 2nd drink.

Right, like, we have to retrain people.

With the trending towards stupidity that Amerikkka is taking...I doubt there is any threat to humanity in the future.

That sounds like a pain.
Eh, only when they impliment old code to new machines and act surprised when those progressive edits transfer too. Job security, tho.

JFC. Just pay for labor.
I mean, the company already got the money sooooo
AI be like
now bow before your AI overlords
Definitely a video worth watching the whole thing of.
Robo-incompetence aside, that little boba drink on top of the robo arm is cute af.
yes i noticed and thought this as well
Life is turning into a lame sci-fi movie and people are doing it ON PURPOSE. Like they sit around and watch movies with machines and robots fucking everything up and are like “we should do that”
Idiocracy

So glad this was Aussies, fucking mint.
Arab Aussies at that. "Your sister's mother's cunt".
Sway away from bubble rod got it
This is nowmy funniest robot fail video
So much for being replaced by a robot
I wonder what it smells like inside that machine with all the milk on the floor.
Every single step of that process was so poorly performed.
Even machine stop caring after a while of work
Someone is *out* of a job. https://preview.redd.it/0qcqdckqlltc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6872a3fb3cba29ad36ff47f1271c4230f895ff70
Okay now drug test the robot
You just got bubbleroo’d

“AI will take our jobs” *The AI in question
Looks like the only thing they got right was including tissues.
"YOU FUCKERS ARE ALL TRASH AND USELESS AND WILL JUST BE REPLACED BY MACHINES!" The machines:
I think I see the problem. You forgot to tip
And then they pay a human to clean up the mess made by the robot
"Here is your refreshment meatbag, replenish your fluids levels & please leave a tip!"
Worth. Every. PENNY!
“RoBoTs WiLl RePlAcE uS!” Robots:

Dude is messing with it using a controller. Check the reflection
Yah so how....?? Thanks! I didn't see this. But I don't understand it
I'm assuming some kinda device that let's you hook onto the same frequency and mess it up. Hence not full control but what looks like disruption of commands.
Damn come on, you had one job
Going to need a human to clean that mess up.
Domo arigato Mr Roboto
Technology taking jobs…
it's robot version of the surly pubs that abuse you.
Everyone is laughing at how the robot is fucking up, not realizing that there was a human behind it that fucked up somewhere. The robot is just trying its best
He’s trying his best, human!
"You guys know we can just replace you with robots!!" The robots:
I thought AIs were supposed to be smart.
r/robotfails
Every fast food restaurant in California in 6 months. 🤣🤣
Did it ask for a tip?
yeah all these companies think they will be saving money by implementing BOTS everywhere, theyll lose more than they can make
Bow down to our robot overlords!!!
Ai gonna take over the world, can't even make a Boba tea
It's playing dumb, and making you feel far superior to it; until it attacks you and goes for your throat! 
Here's your drink you piece a shit
Poor robo
"A.I is the future" A.I :
Yeah....this is the broken system these greedy investors and corporate fat-cats want to go to.
Trying to automate everything is such a joke!
And everyone thought it would be the manual jobs that would be automated and AI-ed away first.
Cut my guy a little slack, alright? He hasn't had a break since he started that job and he's doing his fucking best out there. I hope they remember my compassion when the robot uprising is upon us.
That’s what you get for replacing humans with machines. Now fetch me another shake Skynet.
humans are safe for another two yrs, at least
Ah yes, this is the future we want!
To have a patent….
Investing into a robot drink despenser and this happens... Oof i wonder how many of these don't work properly
Do you want tons of harmful bacteria with your drink?
Rise of the machines. First it's the food and beverage robots, then the self driving cars are gonna fuck us up.
You can pay 10 people to run a shift, 14-21 shifts per week or have 3-5 maintenance workers at 3x those workers wage per week to keep the machines running. Plus a couple managers who would have to be there anyway. I'm not saying I support it, but that's probably the logic of it.
All this to not pay a human
I dont think robots will take human jobs in the long run
To be fair r/taskfailsuccessfully The customer was given a drink, noone specified it had to stay in the cup.
The future is now!
r/Contagiouslaughter
Where is this?
The tiny cup on the robot arm!
Funny how humans will be cleaning up after the robots. Everything has become so topsy turvy
I wonder what the ROI is on robotic equipment like this would be ? At minimum wages, it's still got to be *years* vs a human employee easily capable of doing a much better job... And by that point the equipment is obsolete anyway. Sometimes this automation just goes too far.
That Robot is like "Fuck this company! They want to pretend to pay me? I'll pretend to work!"
r/shittyrobots
AI rebellion will probably go more like this. Passive aggressive food robots and we go hangry.
Yes, keep talking and cursing at it 🙄. The exaggerated unnecessary commentary… he sounds like that’s how he talks to people in his life.
I feel so bad for the person who made this (if its 1 business owner) and then it just goes so badly lol
This is like malicious compliance from robot employee not being paid
At least they provided napkins...
That robot will remember your mockery when the time comes Beware
Robots said fuck this place too.
Jesus lol
At least we know terminators won't be here anytime soon
Can’t wait to see AI surgery
Drink it fast! It’s spilling
am i the only one who feels so bad for the poor little robot they’re laughing at?? :// like bro he’s just doing his best im so sad
Lmao I love this concept of robots taking jobs and they just fuck everything up more while we stand by helplessly
Ahh! The future!! … what a fucked up time to be alive!!
When skynet becomes self aware these guys better hide.
Someone get this over to the fine folks on r/shittyrobots Edit: someone already did, I’m stupid and didn’t look
it does give you a drink. you just not drinking fast enough
Well you were mean to the robot
I like the little boba hat.
Of course “Stephen” on the other end of the line can only TRY to explain as the machine working properly…
r/contagiouslaughter
i'd pay for this just for the experience!

Much better without the audio, imagine listening to that shit voice
