Robot Gets Job at Pizza Hut

05/30/2016 12:20 AM

SoftBank's humanoid robot Pepper is getting a job at Pizza Hut

So, you want breadsticks er what?

"Pepper's getting a fresh set of skills that go beyond helping you obtain breadsticks. At Google I/O last week, it was announced that there'll be an Android SDK for the robot, and developer versions of Pepper will cost around $1,800 when they go on sale in July. IBM is also looking to bring SoftBank's humanoid bot some of Watson's smarts."

Replaced with subway, food prepared fresh before your very eyes, with ingredients chosen by you and prepared as you wish with people that have sanitary gloves on....It's the next best thing to having a community kitchen....The bread is baked fresh, the ingredients are kept refrigerated until the last possible moment, replace the people with robots and you have automat 2.0.....

Wow check this out a bum robot....

Beggar robots are the newest solution to charity fatigue.

Oh here's a good one...A town in Germany has found a solution to people walking into traffic while looking down at their phones, they installed lights in the ground at the walkways that blink green to go or red to stop....

"A town in Germany has installed traffic lights on the ground to serve as a warning for pedestrians using their phones.

Augsburg made the drastic move after a 15-year-old girl was struck and killed by a tram when she crossed the road without looking.

She was reportedly looking down at her phone at the time.

The lights look like cats eyes but are flat, and are dotted at the edge of roads.

When they flash red, it indicates to pedestrians not to cross - and green for when they should."

Didn't someplace in Europe put some thing around light poles.... Some type of barbed wire, because people who were texting were running in to it.... As a deterrent to walking and texting. Sounds counter intuitive maybe it was a meme or something.

I'm personally counting on the return of huge quantities of large predators with wide spread distribution. Nature has given humans a pass for way too long.

In another report, the incidence of color-blindness has notably decreased in some towns in Germany in years after go and stop lights were installed at ground level on cross walks. Thus far, no one seems to have a suitable medical inference as to why this is happening, although one statistician has alluded to a rise in traffic accidents involving colorblind users of smart phones.

I can see it now... Just like a Steven King novel where you walk in and get creeped out by a horde of Ronald McDonald robots.
