How do they plan on dealing with vandalism and theft? Those robots look pretty defenseless.

You'd be surprised how many "AI-powered" startups are actually powered by BPOs located in Columbia/Philippines/India/etc.
Reminds me of x.ai. Didn't it turn out that the "AI assistant" is actually made of humans?
This reminds me of hearing Reed Hastings of netflix talking about starting the DVD mail-rental business as preparation for when streaming became technologically viable. They knew that internet delivery would eventually work, but to be the big first mover they needed to establish a customer base. As soon as broadband reached a level where streaming video is viable, they convert the customer base over to it. Likewise,…
I get what you're saying as a general heuristic; but this is not that in my opinion.

No! :) *we do continue to label data though and will probably have a large "AI Trainer" staff in place for any NEW skill we want Amy to have in the future.
This was the story I was referring to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11520681.
Was it false, or did things change in the past year?

I definitely recommend uBlock Origin - https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
I recently switched to JavaScript by whitelist only and now I won't go back. I always thought disabling JavaScript was just for tinfoil-hat luddites, but now I realize how often JavaScript detracts from the experience and how little it enhances it. Speed-wise, it reminds me of going from 56k to DSL back in the day.
I hate to be negative; so I won't. I can't see this being scaleable, profitable or useful at a meaningfully higher level than people.
And imagine if it did scale. What an eyesore that would be. Would we count them in the census?
I hate to be so negative but this looks terrible. I remember seeing that other food delivery within San Francisco that uses a robot but at least it looks like there was real engineering put into it. https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/12/marble-and-yelp-eat24-star... This is just a glorified rc car with a basket on top being controlled by outsourced workers. Not even a MVP prototype imo.
Website: http://www.kiwicampus.com/home From https://angel.co/kiwicampus : "Current self driving algorithms require huge amounts of data to be trained with, so our robots are initially being controlled from Colombia." (not affiliated, I just found these DIY-like robots very fun)
" so our robots are initially being controlled from Colombia." There was a sci-fi movie about that[0]. In short a wall gets built between the US and Mexico, and telerobots controlled by workers in Mexico start being used for the jobs normally performed by migrant workers. That being said there are some interesting legal issues with telerobots. Currently, most laws we have presume the person performing the crime is ph…
