Now here is a proper appliance. A real contraption. This is a kettle that you hook up to a jug of water (like the kind used at office water coolers) and the kettle autofills from the bottom with water and boils it for your tea. Then you have a little dishwasher* designed to wash teacups only.

The Jetson's stuff right here.

Sadly it only comes in 220v models. So not for US markets.

UPDATE: sadly it's not a dishwasher like I thought. So this is now about the gadget I WISH existed.

@futurebird I remember a US friend in Berlin in the 90s, amazed by how fast the kettles boiled there. So he bought one to take home. I didn’t understand the problem with that logic back then either.

I've largely dismissed the strain of AI alarmism based on the notion the a computer will be so smart that the danger it poses to humanity is outsmarting us.

There are real dangers in AI, most of them relate to people using these technologies in improper ways due to having a poor understanding of what they really are... and most important the exploitation & degradation of the human body of knowledge creativity represented by publicly available digital information. 1/

@futurebird @kellogh What, you mean you didn’t realise that the definition of “AI expert” is that you „believe in the scenario where AI becomes intelligent“?
