SHE’S JUST WALKING THROUGH THE MALL… WHILE A $40,000 HUMANOID ROBOT AND A $7,000 ROBOT DOG CARRY HER SHOPPING.

No shopping cart.
No heavy bags in her hands.

She walks through the mall while the humanoid robot follows behind carrying bags, and the robot dog carries even more.

The humanoid is roughly $40K, while a capable robotic dog can cost around $7K, depending on the model and configuration.

That’s almost $47,000 worth of robots following one person around the mall.

And this is what makes the idea so interesting.

The humanoid can use its hands to pick things up, carry bags and interact with people.

The robot dog can simply follow along and carry additional weight.

Today, spending nearly $50K on two robots just to carry your shopping sounds insane.

But if prices keep dropping with mass production, this could eventually become a normal form of personal assistance.

Imagine walking into a mall with two robots following you instead of a shopping cart.

Hundreds of US universities will close as the perceived value of a degree nosedives. But for the foreseeable future, elite universities will remain free of existential worries; for example, Princeton will still be able to fill its classes with willing payers, and it’s minimally dependent on tuition anyway.

Yet even elite universities will suffer for this trend, which they helped fuel by bowing to political activists. The soft power of US universities is already eroding at home and abroad. So is their place in international rankings, which say little in any one year but mark relative standing across decades.

As a young teenager, Prisha Mosley was socially transitioned.

At 17, she was prescribed testosterone.

At 18, she had a double mastectomy.

Now she's asking a North Carolina appeals court to overturn the dismissal of her lawsuit and let a jury hear her case.

No child deserves what Prisha Mosley endured. It's time medical professionals are held accountable for the harm they've caused. ⚖️

Watch Prisha's interview with Katie Pavlich on NewNation ➡️

In what universe would Pope Leo *have endorsed* the idea that A.I. models are conscious?

Capitalism didn’t make you a victim because someone else possesses something you need. But socialism can create an actual victim by declaring your need an entitlement to someone else’s labor, property or earnings.

What if you’re the victim of people who have declared themselves entitled to live at your expense?

Apparently victimhood only counts in one direction.

[Peter Savodnik @petersavodnik]

Given everything we know, there doesn't appear to be any "victim" or "slut," just college kids who made dubious decisions.

This wouldn't be a story in a less politicized moment.

Of course, this is a highly politicized moment, and the so-called adults are not really adults as much as cowards and sociopaths. They prefer to use the kids, Hunger Games-style, to further their agendas.

If there's any crime here, that's it.

@Rodrigueslemos2 @NelaaaF Great point!

The Center for Biological Diversity is an “environmental” group that sues clean energy projects and stood with the GOP in opposing the Inflation Reduction Act. They are climate arsonists of the worst kind and should never be listened to
