This is the way, the only way.

Went down to city hall last year and had it handled after getting hit with bills even though I'd been a Henrico resident for over a year. At least 6-8 other people were there for the same reason.

Reply to Pittsburgh Imagination Library by juliepde

This article from 2021 says:

> Pittsburgh's Imagination Library launched in February 2019 and is funded through Dolly Parton's national initiative, the Benter Foundation, Hillman Family Foundation, and McAuley Ministries.

Originally, it was only funded through "a $250,000 grant from the Benter Foundation".

So funding probably just dried up.

Well, firstly, not every robot needs to carry a lot of weight or run for prolonged periods of time without recharging. Not every robot will be built the same. And the ones that are built that way will probably be designed well, so they're not disposable like cheap phones. Robots that replace manual labor should do what we do and use machinery/tools instead. They just need to be very efficient and flexible at moving in the physical world, not hyper strong. But yes... there is a big problem that working with your hands will still be cheaper in back breaking labor, for a while. I was just saying we don't need batteries that last for days without recharging, since we can build the world around recharging. There are already automatic vacuum cleaners that recharge themselves. Also, recycling is going to be more important in the future.

Reply to comment by internet_czol in Over-under that Google already has AGI? Try and rationalize the release of Bard. by AdditionalPizza

Hmm. I would have to assume they probably wouldn't really need that data at this point, considering the hoarding they have done already. But, it could be just a basic preliminary test to see how the public interacts with bots like this because people don't always post the darkest stuff they might ask to an AI.

I still question why they would risk so much with such an inferior model though.

Reply to comment by KingKratom00 in TIL in the tiny African kingdom of Lesotho, a local style of accordion folk music known as Famo has sprung a fierce bloody gang war which has contributed to its high homicide rate. Little-known to the outside world, scores of musicians and hundreds of DJs, fans, family members etc. have been slain. by delano1998

I forgot what I was responding to tbh. I think the deleted comment was some dude being racist though.
