  • people have a hard time admitting that their job today might be obsolete tomorrow, I believe this is already happening and it's going to get much, much worse. If you're not adaptable you'll have a very hard time in the future.

    Kai-Fu Lee has a pretty interesting idea of how this will all end up - a couple of large corporations directly paying people's unemployement to prevent riots.

  • it may or may not be in the future

    the problem is bioreactors just don't scale - at all. Maybe there's some kind of breakthrough but my personal opinion (as a biochemist working with bioreactors) is that not for a long time.

  • As an aside, did anybody else find her vibe really offputting? I liked her content, but her enormous fake boobs and skimpy outfits were a distraction from otherwise interesting content.

    indeed. I've never heard of her and seeing this I wanted to see what it's all about - one look at her youtube (not even clicking on the video, the thumbnail and the short hover clip was enough) and I decided nope, don't really care.

  • Never really had any problems.

    Do yours freak out when you put your re-usable bags in the bagging area even when you tell it you're using 4 of your own bags?

    no weight sensors, and where there are, you can put the bags on the platform, wait for like 20 seconds for it to recognize them and continue with the scanning.

    Or have two barcodes on packages and if the wrong one scans (either because you aren't sure which needs to be scanned or because they're next to each other and you don't get a gun), you need a cashier to override?

    never had that happen but this is the store's problem and I'm guessing doesn't happen all that often - neither the fault of the machine nor the customer.

    Or have weight sensors that are just wrong about how much items should weigh?

    never experienced that either with the ones that do have weight sensors.

    Or only have enough room for like 2 bags of groceries but it isn't ok to take any out of the bagging area?

    the ones with weight sensors have like a 1m*1m platform, there's plenty of room for like 3-4 full bags.
