From the first game boy games I rolled a lot with Charichard and Nidoking, then did not play untill like a few years back and ran into Grimmsnarl and that is my favourite of the new ones.

Looks like the few seconds I took away from green came in clutch.
Yes it would be stupid to fire staff for a robot dog. Like you said there would be even more staff needed to maintain those dogs.
But it is case sensitive. Like you said, someone gets a call to go check out a questionable valve. Maybe that call was made by the robot who patrols a long corridor with 70 valves day and night, snapping pictures of the valves and sending them to the control center or something like that. And then again, who goes through those pictures to determine a questionable valve? AI? And if the valve needs constant surveiling, a robot dog and AI is not the tool for the job, its a wrong valve at that point.
But if a plant has a gabillion dollar and non critical infrastructure, why not let john maintenanceman drive a robot dog?
But yes they are expensive toys at the end of the day. I would hire a human every time if the labour was suitable for a human.
I may be ignorant, but from my experience Boston Dynamics is cool and if they were able to sell these things to the AI guys good for them!
I know these robots are used to do maintenance vhecks on big factories, where a dude can tell it to walk to a valve to look at it through a camera, and i think thats fine.
Instead of having 50 cameras you have one walking one.
Currently reading this as well. IMO the first book was real good, but the second one didnt really capture me like the first did.
Third one again has me invested again.
I would be hooked to EVE if it was half its current price, heck I would probably run two accounts.
For me its just mad that WOW sub is 12 and eve sub is 20. One is the most played MMO ever and the other is a niche space mmo.
One has active users in the multiple millions range and other in tens of thousands.
I only have 600 hous in EVE.

Hotline Miami is a banger
