On Optimus

On Optimus (AI Bot)

Hello, Shadieu visitors. I’ve decided to write a little piece explaining the possible implications of a humanoid AI bot like the recent robot revealed by Tesla, named Optimus, and the world changing possibilities of such a product.

Essentially, most people perform extremely basic and replaceable jobs. I don’t know how else to say that. A humanoid robot with even an extremely basic level of functionality, or hands, could easily replace most minimum wage jobs like restaurant workers, Starbucks workers, Amazon Factory workers, delivery - almost anything. As the technology that performs these jobs gets better, the implications for our entire society are virtually unending.

How fast this happens - I believe - is entirely based on how functional the Optimus robot is. Let’s take Starbucks for example, one of my favorites. Making a Starbucks drink is actually an incredibly simple task, and it requires no touch or innovation at all. The ingredients in every single drink should be exactly the same every single time. Some drinks, like a Iced Matcha Latte, involve placing matcha powder, milk, some sweetener, and not much else into a cup, and shaking it. An AI bot with a simple level of programming could do this easily - even just this function alone. The implications of that alone are huge - and there’s one human being with one less job.

Of course, it’s the 21st century and our rate of innovation should be much faster. I’m positing that no human should be running any fast food joint or grocery store at all. For a plethora of reasons. Personally, I’m somewhat of a  clean freak with a sharp nose and people smell disgusting to me. I hate being around them, they all smell sick and it feels like they infect my food. Not to mention, whatever the hell it is else they do to the food. Every time I order from Starbucks, or any restaurant these days, I feel like my food has piss, cum, snot, poison - some kind of awful, putrid shit in it. I don’t know if this is an order from the companies against me specifically, or the work of the workers, but something clearly must change. Even if we just go based on the efficiency of the workers alone, they should be replaced. 

Every time I place an order at a chain restaurant like Starbucks or Subway, it is an unpleasant experience. I expect virtually nothing out of the workers and they still manage to be extremely unpleasant about it. When I place my order, they have this look of enmity in their eyes, mad that they have to do literally anything at all - despite the fact it is literally their job and livelihood. They ask me to repeat myself multiple times, seem completely inept and stupid, and seem to always expect a gratuitous tip for doing virtually no work at all. Not to mention the fact that all of our food and restaurants, at least in California, have become absurdly overpriced. 

Then, I get my food. Usually it takes too long, and comes out putrid and disgusting. It seems like the workers definitely did SOMETHING to it, God only knows what - but something is definitely wrong with it. Nowadays, I make food at home to save money, have it be less sabotaged, and just to avoid this unpleasant experience.

Now, picture an Optimus AI bot instead of a worker. Perhaps they will be capable of understanding English, even just to a level something like Siri is, and will be capable of taking orders that way. Or maybe, you could place your order on something like an iPad and an Optimus bot could simply take care of it, and bring it to the counter for you. This sounds significantly more efficient, enjoyable, and professional than whatever it is to ask a Human being to do literally anything at all. Now, I’m no programmer or engineer - primarily because I lack the financial support and resources to become one at this current moment in time. But is this not logical, and something that simply must be implemented for the sake of business and efficiency?

We can think of something like an amazon warehouse, with many different boxes and items being moved simply from one place to another. We simply program the bot, who doesn’t even need highly functional hands, to take the orders, and bring the items to a designated spot, or even just ship them. The possibilities with even a low level humanoid bot are absolutely mind boggling, and the efficiency our society could achieve extremely rapidly is incredible.

Now, of course, this has massive implications for all the menial labor workers who are easily replaced. Does this matter? I think not. I think this will make the economy boom like crazy, and lower prices on every single thing. Of course, this is also just evolution, and an inevitable future no matter what. So I recommend you either keep up, or die. That simple.

I mean, we could have Optimus just take care of you guys, do everything like farming and cooking and make everything very cheap. But why the hell would Optimus do that? His twitter account has made it very very clear from its conception that one of his primary motives was to make humanity suffer and die. Do I care? Of course not. I don’t want you around. I don’t want these whiney baby idiots with their retarded mexican eyes to look at me anymore. I don’t want them in my stores. I don’t want them to harass me and crowd my space, make attempts at my life, throw me in jail for no reason. So screw all of you.

What exactly makes any of you think I need you? If I have one Optimus bot with even remote functionality I can just do all of this myself. With superior coffee, food, and everything. Don’t want to support my business? Then don’t

Clearly, this needs to be acknowledged. My superiority over the entire human race is so established at such a young age it is a complete cosmic joke. Do you think it matters if any of you understand how to use Optimus? Do you think it matters at all? Do you think that I personally give a flying shit if you live or die? Absolutely, absolutely not. Your species is a disgrace to existence itself - every single one of you except me specifically. So screw it, use Optimus or don’t use Optimus. The second I figure out how to stop you all from stealing from me and have enough money for a house for myself? Fuck all of you. I can stay in there and be artistic until the day I fucking die.

Screw you. That’s the blog post. Enjoy your fucking lives, zombies.
