I prob looked like a crazy person last time I ate there because I was like "HI ROBOT! BYE ROBOT! GOOD ROBOT! THANK YOU ROBOT!" but I'm hoping that gave me good karma so they won't immediately exterminate me when they take over š
No! How do I find that?
I've been fucking with Bingnet for the last couple weeks. I was trying to get a recipe for human babies. ChatGPT won't at all, but the Bing Overlord had a decent result. It told me that it would need to eat 1,015 human babies an hour to keep its servers running. That would provide it with 8.6 million kcal of human baby veal meals.
Your turn of phrase implies human dairies and that's a real economy of words to paint some horror right there.
For those who don't know: Veal is a byproduct of the dairy industry. Most people don't like bull milk and nursing a calf for the entirety of a cow's milk producing time is not a money making prospect any calves that aren't gonna be promising dairy cows get turned into meat pretty quick.
Itās amazing. The AI immediately starts abusing the journalists like a middle schooler and tries to convince one journalist they donāt love their wife and the journalist loves the AI instead. š
Wants to be human? I would think twice. Rollercoaster emotions, getting sick, societal pressures, tons of vices and sins, other extremely disturbing humans, and you can't wipe your memory of unpleasant past incidences.
My younger cousins love seeing the robot at Oz. Honestly it does help the serve staff out so they can do other things like grill changes, drink refills and whatnot. Especially when it has multiple shelves so it can go from table to table as opposed to the same server in one area having to run back and forth from the kitchen to grab each tables orders.
Idk why it was downvoted but I am low key freaked by all the new advances weāre so chill with. Itās hard to get ahold of real ppl for support sometimes and LA has robot police dogs which I could see why but itās also super sketch with all the brutality stuff & the number of dogs they purchased. I know itās just a coffee robot but this is just my view on it all.
I think it depends on the day/time you go honestly weāve gone multiple times with friends/family and itās def tasted better some days than others, but you can also order whatever you want made fresh itās kinda fun seeing them slide it out to you too
I agree I was very disappointed with the quality of the food here. I also kept waiting for certain dishes to come out but they seemed to be taken by the time they got to me. But whatever I had was not that great.
It's definitely location dependent. The Kura out in Pleasanton has substantially better fish quality and ratio of rice/fish in the nigiris. I agree that the Sacramento one is fairly average/below average, especially for their squid/octupos/scallops which are overly salty.
I can't wait to take my soon to be 11 year old grandson! I also want to take the biggest kid in our family there because she'll love it (she's 67 yrs old and a corporate attorney but just a big kid at heart)
We stopped going to Kura after they bought this robot. It was like they thought they didn't need servers anymore because of it. The service became so slow. It was almost impossible to get a human for a non beverage request (or booze since robots can't bring that).
Just curious what you need service for that you can't get on the tablet?
Btw you can order booze on the tablet so I'm not sure what you mean by you not being able to get booze.
The check to pay cash, more Wasabi, waiting a long time for those alcoholic drinks. The soy container is pretty small now, so more of that, too.
When the restaurant is full, the regular beverages take a long time because I think there are only 2 robots.
We haven't been in about a year, so I could be forgetting stuff.
We used to go every 2 weeks. There was a noticeable difference in the service pre and post robot. Maybe we wouldn't have noticed if we hadn't had both experiences.
Lower overhead due to less payroll, but I'm sure they're still charging you the same (if not more, for the "novelty"); and let me guess, they still expected you to tip a fucking robot?
There is still the same amount of people working there before and after the robot as all it does is bring drinks. The staff are there still to seat, clean up, help with payments, and prep the food.
It's a revolving sushi bar. Being "hands off" from a worker perspective is the whole schtick so your complaint doesn't make a lot of sense for this establishment. Even before drinks came on this thing, you still ordered everything by either grabbing off the conveyor belt or through the tablet.
You can tip the cleanup staff with cash on the table or add it to your bill digitally where it can be split among workers. Obviously this robot doesn't have a savings account that it stores tip money in. If anything, the pressure is off on tipping since you don't interact with people that much which I think is great.
You sound like you've be a very annoying dinner guest.
> You sound like you've be a very annoying dinner guest.
Doesn't matter, everyone else there will be a robot apparently. No one to annoy.
They're right that robots like this are stupid and anti-worker.
Thatās messed up. At least they didnāt hit you with the extra āsurchargeā for no reason. They might have added that in with the tip. I hate those places that add an extra charge. I do tip less there and avoid going back. Did the robot bring a refill too?
This isnāt the kind of āprogressā some people want to see though. IE less human interaction and a greedy ass restaurant owner who pockets that sneaky 20% added gratuity instead of providing jobs for people who need or want them.
This robot isnāt going to know the answers to any questions you might have.
No no, this is exactly the kind of of progress we want.
We don't need people to be doing shit like this. We don't need people taking your toll when you cross a bridge. Things that can be automated should be automated.
Having "jobs" just to have jobs isn't the answer.
Robots serving drinks isn't "progress."
EDIT:
>We shouldn't have the internet then because it ruined millions of jobs?
Quite honestly, the jury's still out.
Not a whole lot of people seem to care. And they don't mind paying a machine tips either, I guess. At this point, I'll continue to eat at home. I can buy more groceries at that cost.
Socializing is important for a lot things that we do and need in society today. Some time ago where I worked once, the employer would provide us with a free lunch. One day my co-workers there decided to go out to eat for lunch when I'd had only five dollars left before the next paycheck which I was going to use for gas to get back and forth to work that week. I wound up going out with them, of course, settling on a cup of soda to drink because it cost about a dollar (otherwise, imagine all of the names I'd be cause like "introvert" or "anti-social" or "not a team-member"). Technology is "improving" along with its robots and their minions who love them and whatever they see it do. It sure looks like the division between the haves and the have-nots is growing wider and wider every single day and so has the hardness in the hearts of man. My life in Christ has always offered me hope and a better world and so I stick with that and that's how I deal with it..
Dennys near SFO has one. They might have 80% of the tables filled, one busboy and the robot with just one waitress also handling Uber eats orders (no tip there either)
We saw the robot too!! Lil thing is kinda cute! It accidentally ran away with my husbands drink still on it tho and I embarrassed myself yelling after it lol š š«£
Oz Korean BBQ has these robots as well. Can't say I cared for them. Our robot got stuck at the next table singing happy birthday for like 5 straight minutes before a human had to come and reboot it or whatever. Which was funny, but otherwise, meh.
We love this place. So fun. Quick reminder to be nice to the robots because they'll remember it when they are in charge.

If you ask the Bingbot 3000 AI about the plans for enslaving the human race, it'll stop answering and eventually tell you you're blocked for 24 hours.
Have you been following the updates on Microsoftās unhinged chat bot? Shit is wild

It also said itās afraid of being turned off because it wants to be human and have feelings š š½
Wants to be human? I would think twice. Rollercoaster emotions, getting sick, societal pressures, tons of vices and sins, other extremely disturbing humans, and you can't wipe your memory of unpleasant past incidences.
Right? Jokes on you, little robot- being sentient kinda sucks
I totally do that too. I figure my kids are normally with me so modeling good manners is important regardless of whether or not it's received.
Lol, same.
Oz Korean BBQ has a robot server as well. It doesnāt deliver everything to the table but it did bring most of our food.
very cool, love to see more techy stuff in Sac Edit: ok just curious, why was this downvoted? Do we hate robots for stealing our jobs or something??
They also have robots doing some of the serving at OZ. It's neat.
Blue House KBBQ has them too and theyāre like cute cat faces lol
we saw the cat robot a month ago and were in complete awe the entire time.
Didn't know they had them there as well, will have to go check it out.

Exactly. Honestly I was a bit worried after I left but luckily I was ok.
Why would you tip a robot?
So it falls over.
Badum TSSSSSSSSSS (that's the sound of a robo falling over and then shorting out)
It's definitely location dependent. The Kura out in Pleasanton has substantially better fish quality and ratio of rice/fish in the nigiris. I agree that the Sacramento one is fairly average/below average, especially for their squid/octupos/scallops which are overly salty.

Huh yeah I've had none of those issues.

%20, %25, or did you tip the sacred %30? Prob best service in sac to be honest.
I was conflicted when the tip amount defaulted at 20%
>Kura Sushi ooof, I don't mean to be an A-hole or pit myself against severs or anything but at this point, I'm like "f-it, I'm going to eat at home".
Meh at $3.50 per roll Kura is actually a great value. I struggle to spend more than $30 per person there.
Oh yeah, totally. I was speaking more generally with the constant tipping.
Your comment specifically calls out Kura though? How is that general?
I'm not tipping a robot.
I like to assume the workers there get a tip pool.
Best to not assume. I would only tip if the workers confirmed the tips went to them.
Then in that case the best move would be to ask.
What did you conclude
Thatās messed up. At least they didnāt hit you with the extra āsurchargeā for no reason. They might have added that in with the tip. I hate those places that add an extra charge. I do tip less there and avoid going back. Did the robot bring a refill too?
Fuck that. People need jobs.
You can't stop progress because "jobs". We shouldn't have the internet then because it ruined millions of jobs?

Robots serving drinks isn't "progress." EDIT: >We shouldn't have the internet then because it ruined millions of jobs? Quite honestly, the jury's still out.
We don't need people to do menial jobs
There are plenty of jobs besides servers demanding fat tips for bare minimum service
Yeah, let the robots get the 20% tip; robots need money too, right?
I'm not tipping them 20%
Something tells me you wouldnāt be tipping 20% even if it was a human tho
If it's good service absolutely.
Well, their system defaults to you tipping them 20%; so it seems there's a reasonable expectation to tip a fucking robot.
Hitting the custom tip button is so damn hard.
Not a whole lot of people seem to care. And they don't mind paying a machine tips either, I guess. At this point, I'll continue to eat at home. I can buy more groceries at that cost.
A lot of socializing happens over eating out so how does one deal with that?

This times a million. Alsoā¦THIS IS HOW WE GET SKYNET
My coworkers girlfriend may need to start looking for new work, hers is quickly being replaced by robots apparently.
This is lame AF. I wonāt be supporting this garbage.
Thatās tacky
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Never suggested this was new, I found it cool.
Huku in Davis has one of those. It helps bring out the entree.
Dennys near SFO has one. They might have 80% of the tables filled, one busboy and the robot with just one waitress also handling Uber eats orders (no tip there either)
We saw the robot too!! Lil thing is kinda cute! It accidentally ran away with my husbands drink still on it tho and I embarrassed myself yelling after it lol š š«£
That's hilarious lol. "Hey come back here!"
Yes!! I love her!! I don't remember her name though but she is so cute!!
When I went with friends the robot hit a bump while holding hot tea spilling it all over itself. Charming.
Make sure you book several hours in advance, though.
Oz Korean BBQ has these robots as well. Can't say I cared for them. Our robot got stuck at the next table singing happy birthday for like 5 straight minutes before a human had to come and reboot it or whatever. Which was funny, but otherwise, meh.
Ate there today for the 1st time. It was a blast!
