“Automating plumbing” sounds like a good way to literally enshittify your house.
Also, it doesn’t matter how many symphonies you compose if no one wants to listen to them.
Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
If plumbing was actually standard enough we could automate 90% of it. On good news art isn’t that much standard enoughso robots will go away soon.

We automated plumbing. It’s called plumbing.
Same deal for laundry, dishes, farming-- there’s so much stuff where human labor has been almost entirely eliminated, and people still bitch about the tiny remaining fraction. Ugh, you have to put the dishes in the box that effortlessly cleans them, and then take them out? That’s bullshit. Where’s my robot maid!

“Be kind to people, be ruthless to systems.” Systems includes the robots as far as I am concerned.

I never heard that quote, where is it from?

The dishwasher (robot) is insufficiently subservient. That’s why you have to put LLMs in all the things. So it can say “That’s such a good idea! You are so clever for thinking of that” when you start it.

Would you like me to help you with that?
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 7 hours ago
This is accurate. People are conflating plumbing, with the act of installing, and maintaining plumbing. It doesn’t help that the act of maintaining the plumbing (noun) is called plumbing (verb).
But people don’t want to have to hire a plumber to fix the plumbing when it is not doing what it is supposed to.
They want “AI” to do it. Except that such a thing would require advanced robotics more than “AI”. With advanced (and affordable) robotics, the plumber wouldn’t need to actually go to your house, they could just remotely control the plumber bot from the comfort of their home, or from a central office or something. The person that shows up with the bot can be little more than a minimum wage delivery driver. Deliver the bot, make sure it powers on, make sure nobody steals or destroys it, then pack it up and move on when it’s done. The highly paid plumbers never have to go anywhere, and can basically hop from one bot to the next. While they’re working on one job, a bot is already en route to their next job, and ready to go when they finish with the current job.
We’ve adapted art and communication to the Internet. We have not done the same for plumbing (the verb). So expecting something that you can’t even currently do with a computer, to now basically be done by AI, which is confined to the restrictions of a digital-only environment, is foolish at best.
Since we adapted communication and art to digital media already, it’s almost trivial to have that generated by “AI”.
We need to build a robot capable of the work before we can do anything more here.

This comic is clearly about the plumber occupation and about jobs as a whole and not simply a dishwasher.

Gotta love the perennial “our kids are spoiled idiots” bit. That one never gets old. I bet at least one of Aritophanes’ plays will have made fun of the damn kids.

I love putting dishes in the box that effortlessly cleans them because every time I do I am reminded of the effort I’m saving and how much more water efficient the box is.
Now, what I am really missing is a box that folds clothes
mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 8 hours ago
I find that any box folds clothes. If you mean folded such that they don’t wrinkle, I think you’re looking for a closet.

Like… a dishwasher?
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 9 hours ago
No, like the whole thing. Find where I left the dishes, scrape off the crumbs into the trash, tetris the dishes into the dishwasher, load an appropriate amount of fluids, [do current capability], unload the dishes to dry, then put them away in their normal spots.

WHILE arguing about the bills, shouting at the dog and trying to ignore the TV blasting in the next room. Then it will truly have replicated what it’s like being human.

I ask my partner to help with this as I have an irrational hatred of everything about this and dirty dishes trigger some kind of instinctual ick. Pls let me deposit a plate into a refrigerator sized receptacle that cleans and auto sorts dishes. Pls.
FurryMemesAccount@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 hours ago
Yes. They’re really underrated. They consume way less water than almost all humans dishwashing, less energy if the human uses warm water to do the dishes, and work better if they aren’t clogged.
Look up minutefood or technology connections about it on youtube

I understand all of that, but my parents that won’t move of my house will absolutely not use them. They’d rather sit there with the water running for hours while they watch soaps.

Really the best part of this comic is that the robot has sentience and has arms. In theory the robot could do the plumbing. However, out of pure prinicple the robot chooses only to focus art.

True however humans weren’t created to do plumbing. The robot was created to create art.
neuracnu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 hours ago
You were directionally evolved by monsters who resented artists’ ability to create value through pure expression. Mimicking the conjuring of that value was at once a parlor trick, then a means to undercut the livelihood of anyone not willing to explicitly and finitely explain the art they created (thus giving it metric to be measured by and value-assigned).
The wax ring and plumbers putty are set. Keep the caulk dry for 36 hours and try to not touch it or it could crack.

It's there so that all those humans who insist their lives will have no "meaning" without having to work for a living have something to work on for a living.

Philip Glass worked as a plumber into his 40s because composing music didn’t pay the bills.
