Honestly I'm fine with this. Robots should be handling mundane chores like putting away the dishes, and if the only people they're harming by testing this are airbnb owners in a city with a housing shortage, I'm all for it
Honestly, i can't argue with that logic. Let's hope for more startups in this industry.
That articles described a crime spree, that is not being discussed as a crime spree.
If it was a group of black teens who went around causing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage to rental properties in the Bay area, you can be damn sure news outlets would call it a crime spree.
You're right. Destruction of property is a crime and at least 12 known cases definitely makes it a spree.
Dishwasher racks were bent and removed. Wooden furniture was scratched and stained. Bathroom tiles were chipped
I think the only practical way to have home robot help like this is to build a dedicated room for them where everything is very thick stainless steel.
Rich people already do this (minus the durable steel). They have separate quarters in their homes for the help (slaves) who cook, do the dishes, and laundry

Guess that explains it.
Fuck absolutely everyone in this article. I hope every single one of them go bankrupt.
Don't get it. What good is an Airbnb-trashing robot?

AI can make music right now but it needs that extra step to replace rock stars.
Now that a handful of companies own everything & each of those companies owns the film studios; I'm guessing they're doing a crossover event where robots use AI in a wild rager to earn enough money for college scholarships so they can get loans to bet on wars.
ROBOT HOUSE!!!
Yeah, but with meat bags too. Remember 'Puck' from "The Real World"? Like that, but every week it's a different billionaire. At the end of every season, it pans down into a pit which is full of them. The twist; human centipede. We've been keeping them alive by feeding them tweets from the one with thumbs. Double twist; the one with thumbs is in the middle. Triple twist; it's so they can't thumb their own buttholes. They still hungry tho
I’m okay with AirBNBs being trashed. Fuck everyone involved.
