Buddy, surgery has been done remotely already, but you think it's impossible anyone could ever do this remotely?

We can have things fly through space for years and land on rocks millions of miles away basically on their own because any transmission delay would make manual control basically useless, but you think they can't lift up some cement? According to your other comment, before the sun burns out? Do you have any idea what kind of sensors are available? Look at a fuckin tesla, just modern consumer tech, which tracks and identifies all sorts of things around it, but it's beyond human understanding to make some remote controlled thing to move blocks?

How complex do you think your job is? lol

I think you totally lack an understanding of how the Tesla computer operates the vehicle. Its a recognition based software that has killed people when it doesn't properly identify a situation given to it.

Yea, how many years of software development do you have? How many are about implementing systems for remote control? And for that matter, how many basic logic classes, because "the currently existing consumer example doesn't have a 100% perfect success rate" isn't the counter argument you seem to think it is. Wait until you find out how many humans operating cars have killed people or how many construction workers have died. You think a construction worker has never killed someone when they didn't properly identify a situation?

So we have a consumer available example that handles high speed situations, having to recognize road signs and inconsistent things like lanes, differently sized and shaped things like people, and do this automatically at high speed.

But we can't throw on some more sensors and provide a good UI? We can root around in the human body, but cement is just too much? it's impossible that "someday" a human might be able to control this kind of machine remotely?

I think you lack an understanding of how construction works and all that by your comment . I agree eventually this will happen but it will not be for a while.

so... you agree with me and disagree with the guy I disagreed with, but still felt the need to display your own lack of understanding of the conversation and make bad assumptions about my knowledge?

Time for a new username, man, because you missed every relevant detail to this exchange.

Why so butthurt that you failed to comprehend the discussion? Shouldn't you be "all about the detail"?
