Are there dangers with robots?

So for instance Tesla is working on a robot that looks like a human. At least has a human shape.

Also Boston Dynamics has a human like robot in development:

I think those developments are great news. They could replace jobs that aren’t always too interesting like picking fruit at a farm for instance. That’s why I really like that companies are developing these, and I hope the price will go down. For instance one robot thgat is already on the market is from Unitree, and costs $16,000.

But when I talk to people, some people are also nervous about it. Especially in combination with the development of AI.

First of all, I dislike war, and I can just imagine, that robots will also play a role in wars.

But the biggest fear I think is that AI will become more intelligent than us and will try to take over.

Also a fear I found on the internet is increased surveillance through robots and AI for instance.

I will do some thinking on how I perceive a future with these robots, and AI.

Thank you for reading.

Greetings from Fryslân

If you are new to this website, welcome. My name is Jelger, I am a Dutch person. When I started this website I was living in Switzerland, and intending on staying there, so that’s why I got the .CH domain name. Now I am back in my home country, but I will keep the .CH name as my website.

One of the developments in today’s world is sort of the creation of AI.

I still need to play around with ChatGTP, but here’s an example from Google Gemini:

I asked, is it better to smoke weed with or without tobacco.

Smoking cannabis without tobacco is generally considered healthier.

Here’s why:

  • Tobacco’s harmful effects: Tobacco contains numerous harmful chemicals, including nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide, which can lead to serious health problems like lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory issues.  
  • Cannabis’s less harmful effects: While cannabis smoking can still have negative health consequences, particularly for young people and those with underlying health conditions, the risks are generally lower than those associated with tobacco. Enhanced experience: Many people find that smoking cannabis without tobacco provides a purer and more enjoyable experience, as it allows them to fully appreciate the effects of the cannabis without the interference of tobacco’s additives.

If you choose to smoke cannabis, it’s recommended to do so without tobacco. Consider alternatives like vaping or edibles, which can reduce the potential harm to your lungs.

I like being able to ask all sorts of questions, and I must say I am really impressed. I just don’t think for myself I have got a good idea about the possibilities of AI yet.

And one more thing. Tesla is working on robots.

Here is a video about that:

So I do hope that in the future some jobs are not necessary anymore, like picking fruits at a farm.

Thanks for reading.

Today about oil and Swiss cheese

I went to this website, see printscreen. It shows the biggest energy companies worldwide. So Exxon Mobil is second with a market cap of 506 billion dollars, Shell is fourth with a market cap of 213 billion dollars.

The largest is:

And this is a picture of their headquarters in Dhahran.

Now something about Swiss cheese, which is my favorite.

A piece of information:

99% of Swiss cheeses is made with cow milk!

Thank you. Jelger for baarda.ch

Today about oil

I googled, and found:

1 barrel of oil =

158.987295 liters

So that’s about 159 liters of oil, petroleum. They cost

Oil (Brent)78.32USD per Barrel
per barrel.

One company that delivers oil is Exxon Mobile. This is one of the six supermajors.

Thank you. Jelger Baarda for baarda.ch.

Electricity

I expect improvements with electricity. Like better solarpanels and better electrical batteries.

Furthermore I am thinking about the topic of whaling sometimes. I see more reasons not to whale currently.

And something important I am thinking about sometimes is Vollgeld.
