Careercow Robert Chipman / Bob / Moviebob / "Movieblob" - Middle-Aged Consoomer, CWC with a Thesaurus, Ardent Male Feminist and Superior Futurist, the Twice-Fired, the Mario-Worshipper, publicly dismantled by Hot Dog Girl, now a diabetic

[Koby_Fish]

Now here's a question for the ages, which fat lazy Masshole would be most likely to win the affections of the fair Hotdog Abortion maiden Lindsay Ellis? Andrew Dobson, or Moviebob?

 

[King Dead]

I don't think the tech is there. Before the pandemic, I worked in an industry that was planning to switch to automation almost entirely. For our purposes, it wasn't there yet, and won't be for another few years.

I'm sure there are some where it may be an option, but definitely not all of them can yet.

The thing about automation that smoothbrains like Bob don't understand is, there are a lot of tasks that are really easy for humans to do, but machines still fail at them constantly.

Let's set aside movement and coordination for a moment and talk about something else that remains complicated for computers: vision. Humans are capable of a wide variety of visual tasks completely intuitively, going far beyond just looking at a thing and knowing what it is. We can enter a darkened room that we've been in before, automatically call up from memory what the room's layout looked like, and accurately navigate through it with little issue (assuming that something didn't change since the last time we entered, like a toy being left on the floor). We can look at a scene and instantly pick out important data, adapting to new circumstances in real time, like staying within the lines on a road and avoiding other vehicles. Our eyes operate in a wide variety of conditions, and we can pick out the same material or object in different light levels easily. There's just a ridiculous amount of things that our eyes can do.

Computers, meanwhile, struggle with these basic tasks. Advancements are made, to be sure, but there's still a lot of work to be done. It takes time for a robot to build a mental map, and it still fails frequently, so many times they're just programmed with the room's layout. Self-driving cars are improving, but they can still fail catastrophically when they interpret their data incorrectly, sometimes with fatal results. A camera can mess up if placed in a different setting and give a computer incorrect readings, causing it to make the wrong decisions. It doesn't matter how much power you pack into a computer or how good your sensors are; at the end of the day, they're simply nowhere near where they need to be to replace humans in most work. And if the computer can't see as well as a person, how are they going to be able to replace one?

This and other "easy for humans, hard for machines" tasks are why you continue to see automation predominantly in very repetitive industrial applications, like spot welders on assembly lines. Anything that's rigidly controlled with little to no variance, all you have to do is just program a specific set of motions and turn the line on. We're years away from robots being able to replace humans for more complex tasks, probably decades, and not for lack of trying.

In a nutshell, for all of Bobby's "tick-tock"ing blue collar workers whenever he sees a cool robot video from Boston Dynamics or elsewhere, his wet dreams of the Mayo Ghouls being forever put out of work by their machine overlords will never come true in his lifetime. He'll stew in rage that he's not living in his jetpack future until the day he finally succumbs to the betus, heart failure, liver failure, or any number of other diseases he's doing nothing to avoid. And truly, I'm glad; if there were anyone who deserves not to see their dreams come true, it's Moviebob.

So keep shaking those impotent fists, Bob. We'll be here to mock you every single time.

 

[Karl der Grosse]

None of that can possibly be true. After all, Bob saw a robot floor cleaner in a supermarket once and got sexually aroused, so obviously it can't be that difficult to replace all of the Chud Morlocks with shiny robots.

 

[Captain Syrup]

I don't think the tech is there. Before the pandemic, I worked in an industry that was planning to switch to automation almost entirely.

Plenty of companies cut back on workers even if it decreases profits. I realized a long time ago that some things are more important than profit, namely controlling your workers.

That's why, in the business press, they talk openly about the need to keep employment down. Holds back inflation, restricts bargaining power.

 

[Positron]

While I prepare for the Bobby update, please entertain yourselves with Ask Delphi, the Artificial Intelligence Moral Arbitrator.

More examples.

 

[Chad Holdenford]

He practically is Baron Harkonnen at this point.

He's already a morally bankrupt son of a bitch, and is developing cankers due to poor body care, so that's a start, I guess.

 

[Ralph Barnhardt]

I noticed that our pal Bobby did a bit of house cleaning.

It could be a mass report, but he'd bitch about his freedoms being trodden upon whilst simultaneously blocking people from replying to him on a public platform.

I'm betting on it either him going DFE because a certain cyberbully has been going through his back log, or since he's re-releasing his old shit in HIGH DEFINITION BABY he's getting rid of the duplicates.

EDIT:
I'm a tard and thought this was his videos being deleted due to the aforementioned tardness. I was referencing @Toxinophile 's Herculean task of going through all the old overthinker videos.

 

[Positron]

The host of Sky News Australia gives a belated rebuttal to Greta Thunberg: it is not the older generation that "stole her childhood and her dreams": her generation is the biggest consoomer ever.
Bobby's way out of the dilemma is elegance itself: if we forbid the ghouls from reproducing, Thinkers will not need to give up their luxuries and Mother Earth won't break a sweat!


Yellow fever. Apparently Bobby thinks it is okay to turn a rainforest into miserable concrete cell blocks:


Cyber-censorship. Tools are morally neutral yada yada.

You know what the Dems and their voters need this moment? RAGE!!!!!


Yet when a similar doomsday-for-our-opponents rhetoric is used by someone from the GOP, Bobby can easily identify it as puerile:


Let's take a detour to Netflix because of a term that will become contentious. Peter Coffin and Haz are right about the Netflix tranny "walkout"; Bobby is on altogether wrong premises; continues to mistake the hissy-fit as "labor dispute". Note the term "PMC" and how Haz uses it; it might prove important soon:


Not all is well over the Dem voter camp: there's no love lost between poor and middle-class lefties, and the discord hinges on the mysterious PMCs.


Rounding up the Netflix bullshit. We know some bosses deliberately encourage cliques among workers to prevent them from unionizing, but what is seen in Netflix has to be a record:

Bobby gets defensive.


Star Whores:


Someone is having flashbacks about a 80s kiddie show:


Evidently Bobby doesn't like Ryan Gosling very much:

So keep shaking those impotent fists, Bob. We'll be here to mock you every single time.

I remember when I took my first comp sci class in college, we had an assignment and it was, tell someone how to make a PB&J. And then the instructor would show you just how literal and thorough you had to be so that the computer would know what you meant instead of relying on a person that knows, "Put the peanut butter and jelly on the bread" to mean spreading it on the inside of the two pieces you removed from the sleeve, and not, place both containers on top of the loaf of bread.

Rounding up the Netflix bullshit. We know some bosses deliberately encourage cliques among workers to prevent them from unionizing, but what is seen in Netflix has to be a record:

The way companies like Netflix divide their employees based on identity groups is part of why I'm so opposed to CRT. (or, for that matter, white nationalism, Han supremacy, or any ideology that says race is the most important factor about a person.) I'm pretty sure you guys have seen it already but if you haven't, there was a post on /pol/ a few years back about race relations and the working class:

Basically, if an actual revolution happens then young blacks, whites and Latinos will realise that they have more in common with each other than with Ashley the 30 year old DSA member with a degree in gender studies, and Ashley will end up getting told to face the wall by the revolutionaries.

Now, companies like Netflix want to stop a revolution like that happening because they know that people like them will be the first ones on the chopping block. So, what they do is fund critical race theory programmes and get the plebs to fight among themselves. If you convince a black delivery driver that earns $35k a year that a white bricklayer who earns $35k a year is why he's poor, instead of a "Diversity and Equity Officer" who earns $100k a year or a businessman who earns $2m a year, then you won't have to worry about those two workers fighting.

It gets even better if you can come up with other ways to keep the plebs divided; if you tell Simon the white wagie that he's really Simone, a stunning and brave woman. and if Tyrone takes offence when Simon uses the same bathroom as his girlfriend at work, well, Simon and Tyrone now hate each other and not Amazon or whoever they work for.

The fact people fall for this is pretty sad, but the fact Bob wholeheartedly swallows it and attacks anyone who disagrees with him is even sadder. If you guys have ever read 1984, you might remember the character Mr Parsons. If you haven't, Mr Parsons is a Party member and a zealot who goes along with whatever the regime says and persuades his kids to be just as fanatical as he is; he eventually gets denounced by his kids for saying "Down with Big Brother!" in his sleep and sent to the Ministry of Love. One day, the same thing will happen with Bob: the outrage machine that looks for anyone to cancel to make sure we don't realise who the real enemy is will turn on Bob, and like Mr Parsons, he'll lose what little he has. And just like Mr Parsons, he'll welcome it and meet the Thought Police with a smile on his face, because he won't be able to cope with the fact that he was on the wrong side the whole time.

 

[A Very Big Fish]

I mentioned it on a news thread where someone talked about WalMart looking to add CRT training, and I'll say it whenever I see CRT stuff. It doesn't work, all studies of people who have taken these types of trainings show an initial "improvement" and within a short timespan, completely regress to where they were.

You want people to get along? Common identity, common goal. That's why things like American identity (land of castoffs/the melting pot) or the Church at the height of its power were beneficial. Even if you have no real connection, these institutions that shape your values are shared by perfect strangers giving you a commonality.

>Libertarian tech bro dinks like Zuck or Jack
What the fuck is this mayonnaise ghoul going on about?

 

[Woe-B-Gon (TM)]

Aaaaand second time I have seen Parsons mentioned in literally 2 minutes. Hell, I still have the Youtube tab with Count Dankula open.

I don't like it when this sort of thing starts happening.

 

[Marshal Mannerheim]

I don't like it when this sort of thing starts happening.

Remember that George Orwell lived in and fought for the Spanish Republic during the civil war, and based the Party in 1984 off how the communist government of Spain acted. If what he wrote reminds you of stuff that's going on, it means that what's going on probably happened in communist Spain during the late 30's.

 

[John Andrews Stan]

I ignored this thread for weeks, came back and absolutely nothing has changed except Robert is more enraged. Will it be a massive coronary, stroke, or choking on a ham sandwich that kills him?

 

[BubbleButt]

Will it be a massive coronary, stroke, or choking on a ham sandwich that kills him?

Ah, the old Mama Cass Special.

 

[Brother Wind]

The Judicial Branch is the weakest of the three, as it can neither dictate nor enforce policy

Hahahahahahaha

EDIT:
ok fine. Youre right in theory, but "legislating from the bench" has been a thing for almost the entirety of our history.

Look no further than our Civil Rights. Sure a lot of them were made by laws, but in school and really in a real sense, they were solidified by court cases

 

[Open Window Maniac]

Now here's a question for the ages, which fat lazy Masshole would be most likely to win the affections of the fair Hotdog Abortion maiden Lindsay Ellis? Andrew Dobson, or Moviebob?

I posted this in the Dobson thread.

I think Moviebob becuase he and Ellis are two peas in a pod: alkie burnouts who make crappy vidoes about reading way too deep into children's media. Also, they write terrible books no one reads.

 

[Quixotic Man]

Looking forward Bob's Eternals review. Reviews right now for it are all over the place and it has the lowest MCU rotten tomatoes score since 2013. Because somehow Thor 2 still has overall positive reviews.

Bob will most likely trip over himself talking about how awesome the Asian lady director is and barely talk about the product itself.

From what I’ve heard and seen, it’s been called messy, confusing, pretentious, ponderous, and boring.
