China already use a lot of bots, maybe more and more advanced than any other countries, they have even a robot army, police bots and a lot of bots in restaurants and bars, even in particular homes, Easy to buy with prices between $10.000-15.000
I expect we’ll see robotic kitchens operated by remote workers before we see automated ones.

“What we are trying to do is turn the machine’s parameters into numbers, and use that to standardize every single bowl.”
So once you’ve tried everything on the menu, there’s no reason to ever come back.
Unless you want something you know you’ll like.
What I like is to be pleasantly surprised, which requires leaving the chef a degree of freedom.
Making sure you can do things reliably and repeatedly is a prerequisite for experimenting and adding variation.
Ooh, this promises new, exciting ways for things to go horribly wrong.
could someone please think of mcdonalds ceo? what are they going to do now that they can’t exploit 15 years old!
Not thrilled about this development tbh. It only highlights how replaceable workers are. That’s not a positive story.
My main concern with stuff like this is that our economic and social development is lagging behind technical development. If we had something resembling world-wide socialism, I’d cheer for our robotic replacements all day long.
That’s only true under capitalism where people are forced to work for the sake of working. Under socialism, automation should be celebrated as it frees up people from drudgery.
Automation doesn’t automatically translate to more stable worker conditions under any system, but yes, socialism is better equiped to deal with automation than capitalism. That’s where I would agree.
Not only is socialism better equipped to deal with automation, but automation is generally seen as the development path towards communism.
