Poop Drones Are Keeping Sewers Running So Humans Don’t Have to

Poorly maintained sewers can have disastrous consequences, but regular inspections can be time-consuming, expensive, and dangerous. The solution: subterranean dung drones.

    Now, the drone-captured data is sent off to contractors at SewerAI, who run it through their AI-assisted algorithms to identify defects automatically.

    Now this is the kind of AI shit (pun intended) I can get behind (pun even more intended).

      This is the kind of AI that will change the world, not the word salad machines that burn through massive amounts of compute to sound kind of intelligent. The ability to train an AI model to identify problems is incredibly useful, whether it’s sewer blockages or cancer cells.

        yep. all we have to do is keep incrementally improving lives with tech, instead of being assholes to each other. Imagine the world, if peace was the most researched branch

          Marianne Williamson got laughed at about this in the 2020 US primary, but she was the only person who meaningfully advocated for peace among nations, going so far as to propose a Department of Peace.

            Peace isn’t something that can be managed in its own department. Peace is the (unstable) result of a lot of other things being very carefully managed.

    I had poop drones on my bingo card!

    Have vaginal scented candles been invented?

      You are multiple years too late on vagina candles: https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2020/jan/13/why-is-gwyneth-paltrow-selling-a-candle-that-smells-like-her-vagina-goop
