Robotic scientists will 'speed up discovery'
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have unveiled a robotic colleague that has been working non-stop in their lab throughout lockdown. The £100,000 programmable researcher learns from its results to refine its experiments. "It can work autonomously, so I can run experiments from home," explained Benjamin Burger, one of the developers. Such technology could make scientific discovery "a thousand times faster", scientists say.
A new report by the Royal Society of Chemistry lays out a "post-Covid national research strategy", using robotics, artificial intelligence and advanced computing as part of a suite of technologies that "must be urgently embraced" to help socially distancing scientists continue their search for solutions to global challenges.

The £100,000 programmable researcher learns from its results to refine its experiments. "It can work autonomously, so I can run experiments from home," explained Benjamin VeggieBurger, one of the developers. So far, this robot has discovered 15,384 new genders and 377 new hair colours, which is "a thousand times faster", scientists say.

Ya know, that's just what the young folks do, back in my time, in the 50s, they got together to invent new and silly dances, today they just invent new and silly genders.

Score! Massive ZINGER.
Meanwhile someone's taken away your healthcare and put $5T on your tab. Oops.

Why are you red-staters so eager to regulate genders and body parts? You wan't "gov't out of personal issues" unless you personally are bothered by certain personal issues. I find that hypocritical.

Why are you soy eaters so eager to regulate our language? We know what "male" and "female" is. Those two distinct pools is what the vast majority of animals breaks up to. Trying to push your personal issues onto us is what I find nefarious.

There's no point trying to have a rational discussion with a SJW and I speak from experience since my son became one. The wife and I decided the best thing to do was to euthanize him and then we adopted a Chinese kid. Smart move: he's obedient, understands there are only two genders, and gets good grades!
