    The AI detects when the machine’s about to freeze up and make noise, so it automatically defrosts before things get loud.

    Are we using “AI” to describe microcontrollers now?

    Have a machine run something at a certain temperature (or range of temperatures) is about the simplest thing to program.

    Zeroth Robotics introduced the W1 at CES, a robot reminiscent of WALL-E.

    The W1 is a programmable companion designed for families. According to the company’s website, for $4,999, the robot offers round-the-clock AI-powered security, 360-degree mobile surveillance, and integrates with smart home devices for instant smoke and intrusion alerts. It’s also marketed as an adventure companion that can transport camping gear, follow you around the campsite taking photos as a family photographer, and supply portable power so you can enjoy entertainment on the go.

    We built a surveillance device that follows you around and uploads images, audio, video, and location data to our cloud servers, which we have absolutely made very secure! We care about your privacy, so your data will never be shared with anyone except our 372 advertising partners! Please bring it into your home today!

    Is this the most bizarre tech? These things seem lame as hell to me. Except for the knife, that’s cool. I’ve seen those ultrasonic cutters used in hobby and industry and those work well. Using them in the kitchen I don’t know about, especially given the price, but still a cool thing.

    Not very far away anymore from calling a plain and simple light switch “AI”.

    But I fear the unknown, black hole that comes after that, when there will be nothing left that can be newly called “AI” because everything is “AI” already …

    I love that mower one that isn’t shown in this article. Slap a remote control on it and I can’t see anyone getting bored to mow the lawn again.

    Will the knife spray particles all over the place? Or perhaps vaporize liquids on meats, basically aerosolize salmonella?
