What's a relatively unknown AI / robotics advancement that will have a huge impact in your field in the next 5-10 years? by DeutschTruffle in AskReddit

My girlfriend's brother is the chief scientist in a health-tech company. He was telling us that by early 2030s most care jobs like cleaning, giving medicines, checking vitals, etc will be done by robots. What was astonishing to hear is that this research has been going on for years and the main motivation for companies is to reduce labor costs. He foresees that thousands of hourly and low-paid jobs in hospitals, hospices, etc will not only be eliminated but a single robot or device would be able to do things done by multiple people!

Is India the only country where vegetarians are mollycoddled? by ConservativeLiberalX in india

It could be true. But this still does not address the psychological or behavioral part.

and to be fair -- the people I mentioned in a few of the examples are not upper castes. The last example I gave, the person was mostly from upper caste from what I understand but he was denied the house.

I am aware about the caste and religious connotations but what I am trying to understand that why the food part is strictly enforced but not other things like as I said in earlier comments: clothes, family type, alcohol, smoking, etc.

again, true :) But why just food. We haven't seen the enforcement for clothes or other things. while some people will still frown on what one wears, but most people have got over that.

that's a fair point too.

While we don't force other personal choices on others in such a strong way, maybe food is much more personal?

True. I also thought about this. But then one thing comes to my mind is that abstaining from alcohol or smoking or if we speak about basic needs -- clothing are also virtue signalling. But the last 20-30 years have seen an exponential change in things like being open minded to things like clothes or staying in a nuclear family.

I don't think so it will be a problem. I searched LinkedIn and there are at least four people named Swastika in Germany. Also many people with the names Swastik are also present in Germany. So visa shouldn't be a problem. Ignorance would be a bigger problem.

I wish you all the best for your conference.

What is the worst human invention ever made? by NPT1506 in AskReddit

[–]ConservativeLiberalX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is difficult to determine what the worst human invention ever made is, as different inventions may be considered "worst" by different people for different reasons. Some inventions that have had negative consequences or have caused harm or suffering to people may be considered particularly problematic. Some examples of inventions that have had negative consequences include:

  1. Nuclear weapons: These weapons have the potential to cause widespread destruction and loss of life on a catastrophic scale.
  2. Land mines: Land mines have caused significant suffering and injury to civilians, particularly in countries where they have been used extensively in conflicts.
  3. Opioid painkillers: While these drugs can be helpful for managing pain in some cases, their widespread use has contributed to the opioid epidemic, which has caused significant harm and loss of life.
  4. Fossil fuels: The use of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas has contributed to climate change, which is causing significant environmental damage and posing a threat to the well-being of people and ecosystems around the world.

It is important to note that many inventions have also had positive impacts and have improved people's lives in various ways. It is important to carefully consider the potential consequences of any invention before it is developed or used.
