THE NEXT CLANKER BETTER DO MY GODDAMN DISHES

What does ~~god need with a starship?~~ a robot need with a sink?

It's there so that all those humans who insist their lives will have no "meaning" without having to work for a living have something to work on for a living.
AI's water usage is a pretty well-known problem with the industry.
it vastly simplifies cleaning up when they start purging their human ~~overlords~~underlings

THE NEXT CLANKER BETTER DO MY GODDAMN DISHES

Like... a dishwasher?

No, like the whole thing. Find where I left the dishes, scrape off the crumbs into the trash, tetris the dishes into the dishwasher, load an appropriate amount of fluids, [do current capability], unload the dishes to dry, then put them away in their normal spots.
- I ask my partner to help with this as I have an irrational hatred of everything about this and dirty dishes trigger some kind of instinctual ick. Pls let me deposit a plate into a refrigerator sized receptacle that cleans and auto sorts dishes. Pls.
- WHILE arguing about the bills, shouting at the dog and trying to ignore the TV blasting in the next room. Then it will truly have replicated what it's like being human.
- Just an FYI, if you have 2 dishwashers you never need to put them away
Yes. They're really underrated. They consume way less water than almost all humans dishwashing, less energy if the human uses warm water to do the dishes, and work better if they aren't clogged.
Look up minutefood or technology connections about it on youtube
- I understand all of that, but my parents that won't move of my house will absolutely not use them. They'd rather sit there with the water running for hours while they watch soaps.
They chose literally the only widely-adopted home robot. 😆
- Cough... Washing Machine... COUGH!

You were directionally evolved by monsters who resented artists’ ability to create value through pure expression. Mimicking the conjuring of that value was at once a parlor trick, then a means to undercut the livelihood of anyone not willing to explicitly and finitely explain the art they created (thus giving it metric to be measured by and value-assigned).

The wax ring and plumbers putty are set. Keep the caulk dry for 36 hours and try to not touch it or it could crack.

Clanker hate on Lemmy

"Automating plumbing" sounds like a good way to literally enshittify your house.

Also, it doesn't matter how many symphonies you compose if no one wants to listen to them.

If plumbing was actually standard enough we could automate 90% of it. On good news art isn't that much standard either so robots will go away soon.
I don't know about other people, but me personally I don't compose music for other people to hear, I do it for myself.

Philip Glass worked as a plumber into his 40s because composing music didn't pay the bills.

Really the best part of this comic is that the robot has sentience and has arms. In theory the robot could do the plumbing. However, out of pure prinicple the robot chooses only to focus art.

Really the best part of this comic is that the robot has sentience and has arms.
so do most humans, yet plumbers still exist.
- True however humans weren't created to do plumbing. The robot was created to create art.
