Two Amazon robots got stuck in an aisle, spending what appears to be an eternity shuffling back and forth because neither one could figure out who should move first.
This is what happens when you forget to teach a $200,000 robot to say "no, after you."
@MissJilianne most likely the optics have already accounted for the door swing 🤔 which may be why they stop and start further from the curb than a human may pull up. it does hazard light blinking to warn passing drivers that doors may be opening and they would not open if a car is passing.
@sciencegirl i'm starting a video game launch in october, with anticipated bot farming a double edge sword 🙄 people with money to burn in game will always have an advantage 🤔 while some needed commodities in game will get cheap faster, making my own game play a little easier.
@TimesofIsrael her ww second movie was a hot garbage flop; bad writing bad casting huge fx budget, while gal's stoic acting didn't compensate for that mess 🤔 they may have intended to do a third, but once two was out of the gate, execs held their noses and said no way we want more of it.
@SecDuffy just another bell whistle and likely a non starter for reasons, otherwise thousands of miles of fiber optic trunk lines 🤔 laid down during the 1990's would have been strung or buried along railway lines and highway.
@marklevinshow sadly @innovationcncl these are not long term jobs, it's just billionaires throwing tons of overscale and overtime at the few 🤔 qualified electricians and fiber optic guys they can find, until this AI data center boom inevitably crashes on wall street and this boom goes bust.
@benshapiro most who died @ZohranKMamdani in the wars that followed were tribes killing each other merely because USA disrupted the balance of local power and social expectations 🤔 with USA gone, these same tribal killers are migrating to western countries to continue their infighting.
For 50 years, government made energy harder to build. Now it blames AI data centers for needing some.
At least 30% of recent wind and solar siting applications were canceled — with local zoning, grid interconnection and community opposition among the leading causes, according to a Berkeley Lab survey of developers at 62 companies responsible for roughly half of U.S. wind and solar development from 2016–2023.
And it goes well beyond wind and solar. The stated objection keeps changing, yet the machinery used to stop the project doesn’t.
Cape Wind: 468 MW proposed off deep-blue Mass. in Nantucket Sound. Ted Kennedy and RFK Jr. fought it for years. Years of litigation and delay helped run out the financing clock. The power contracts vanished and the developer surrendered the lease.
This was the liberal energy dream — until somebody tried to build it.
Shoreham: Long Island spent $5.5 billion on an 809 MW nuclear plant, substantially completed in 1984. It never generated a watt commercially. Sold to a state authority for $1 and dismantled.
Northern Pass: Roughly 1,100 MW of Canadian hydropower into New England. New Hampshire denied it. Eversource wrote off $318 million.
Jordan Cove: FERC approved an Oregon LNG terminal and 229-mile pipeline. Oregon denied necessary permits. The developer walked.
Dryden: An energy company held gas leases on more than a third of the town. Dryden banned oil and gas development outright. New York’s highest court said it could.
The objections weren’t identical, and some were legitimate but that’s exactly the point.
Big Tech can’t explain a MA wind farm, a Long Island nuclear plant, a NH transmission line, an OR LNG terminal and gas leases in upstate NY.
The right understood what this machinery did when the targets were nuclear, LNG and fracking.
AI data centers are showing whether it opposed the machinery or just disliked who was using it.
Energy is only one set of examples. We use the same politics to stop housing, health care facilities and factories, then call the resulting scarcity an affordability crisis.
Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez just blamed Israel for Europe’s migrant crisis.
Tens of thousands crossed into Ceuta. At least 100 people died. And his answer is not his own open-border policy.
It is “disinformation” from Israel and Russia.
He would rather accuse the Jewish state than admit what is happening on Spain’s beaches and streets.
Pedro Sánchez is a failed antisemite.
🇫🇮🇮🇱 FINLAND EXTENDS DEFENSE COOPERATION WITH ISRAEL
Finland and Israel have quietly extended their defense-industry cooperation memorandum through 2034, covering joint research, development, and military procurement—with Israel’s David’s Sling air-defense system a key focus.
Separately, Finland will end its €20 million, four-year UNRWA funding agreement when it expires in 2026, while continuing humanitarian aid to Arabs in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza through other organizations.
@elkana_nahmani israel can't trust pa to secure wb, israel can't trust tribes to disarm hamas, israel can't trust anon to disarm hezbollah, israel can't trust al-jolani to defang isis, israel can't trust turks from filling iran|russia power vacuums, israel can't trust USA future weapons supply.
@TheInsiderPaper a recent anecdote; friends set up a game host server, the ddos attacks were so relentless they had to take it down and pay yet another company just as a ddos shield 🤔 friend later found out for $100/day you can pay AI hacking gangs to take down any private server you care to.
🚨Senator @LindseyGrahamSC : "I just had a very brief meeting with the Lebanese Chief of Defense, General Rodolphe Haykal. I asked him point-blank if he believes Hezbollah is a terrorist organization. He said, “No, not in the context of Lebanon.” With that, I ended the meeting. They are clearly a terrorist organization. Hezbollah has American blood on its hands. Just ask the U.S. Marines. They have been designated as a foreign terrorist organization by both Republican and Democrat administrations since 1997—for good reason. As long as this attitude exists from the Lebanese Armed Forces, I don’t think we have a reliable partner in them. I am tired of the double speak in the Middle East. Too much is at stake."
@TheInsiderPaper what to read between the lines here; zelensky want's to use starlink enabled drones to take out mobile ballistic missile trucks deep inside russia 🤔 ukraine has no meaningful ballistic missile defense. musk had disabled russia from using starlink enabled drones over ukraine.
@HonestReporting no, the question is where is the money to fund it all coming from. gazans are living off the charity of others, whether by pity or exploitation; this is unsustainable 🤔 while raising yet another generation that represent grievance & resistance as just a way to earn a living.
