McDonald's stock hits all time high as cashiers are replaced with kiosks
- Thread starter Displaced Bama Fan
- Start date
I show up on time and they don't give me jack squat. An extra $80 a week and I'll definitely be there on time. Is this place hiring?

Between that and the porn industry, the phrase "pulling a train" will take on a whole new meaning.Yeah baby!
"It's good that war is so horrible..." and all that. And I hear all the time, "soldiers will be replaced by automation, etc etc."
No, it won't. A microprocessor for any computer represents
-millions in r&d
-gold
-copper
-platinum (sometime)
Numerous other valuable minerals. So, that's not including the steel or other products for any autonomous components they would use in pilot or soldier replacement.
Now, price that vs you and me. We cost food and maybe (maybe not at that point) pay. We're a nearly limitless resource vs production of any autonomous components. 1984, the war is created to waste resources made available so none shall ever have except those that have already.
Holy crap, I apologize for that ridiculous tangent.
If things go as they seem it may then I imagine a fully realized police state would make those sectors very safe.
Any profession that relies upon creativity will take a long, long time to replace with computers.
My profession is likely similar to yours in the regard.
A robot burger flipper! You might be right after all CA!

Enter Miso Robotics. The southern California start-up has built a robotic "kitchen assistant" called Flippy to do the hot, greasy and repetitive work of a fry cook. Flippy employs machine learning and computer vision to identify patties on a grill, track them as they cook, flip and then place them on a bun when they're done.
Miso is part of a budding kitchen automation industry. Its peers include Zume Pizza, Cafe X, Makr Shakr, Frobot and Sally, which are developing robots to help commercial kitchens churn out pizzas, lattes, cocktails, frozen yogurt, and salads.

I don't know how old you are, but at 45 I'm 100% certain that within my lifetime the average fast food restaurant will essentially be a large vending machine.
but you still have the same amount of money, just depends whether it's in bills or coins
Yep, but in this case, it's two bills (10 & 5) v. 5 bills (10 & four 1s). Less in my wallet.
Is it really worth the trouble? Or you just trying to prove you're smarter than someone else? I know a lot of people do that because they think they actually have more money
That's where you get up, walk over to the robot and hit the "off" switch.
I always shed smaller bills ASAP. I also carry a very small wallet. I want as little folded up paper as necessary in there.
I want less in my wallet as I just said. There is a psychological component to it as well. The larger bills you have, the less likely you are to spend them. So, from a simple spending aspect, I personally tend to spend less when I have larger denominations in my wallet. Try it.
I'm wondering how different the kiosks are from the old automats back when I lived in NYC. You walked in, located the compartment with what you wanted, put your coins in and took the food out. Of course, people back behind were scurrying around...
Yah, I've seen this, and to some it might seem revolutionary, but it's still deep in its infancy. For the McDonalds type of purchaser of music, this will satisfy, but real creativity is a long way off.
I can't find it now but someone posted a midi translation of one of these generated tunes versus a theme from a respected composer - when you strip away the 'orchestra' (the link above is obviously not a real orchestra) and play tune with simple tones, the difference is pretty startling.
IOW, I'm not worried, and I don't think it's denial. From all I've seen in the industry we're still long way from creative thought that can rival humans...
