The kitchen assistant, known as 'Flippy', was designed by a startup called Miso Robotics which specializes in "technology that assists and empowers chefs to make food consistently and perfectly, at prices everyone can afford."
[...] Flippy uses feedback-loops that reinforce its good behavior so it gets better with each flip of the burger. Unlike an assembly line robot that needs to have everything positioned in an exact ordered pattern, Flippy's machine learning algorithms allow it to pick uncooked burgers from a stack or flip those already on the grill. Hardware like cameras helps Flippy see and navigate its surroundings while sensors inform the robot when a burger is ready or still raw. Meanwhile, an integrated system that sends orders from the counter back to the kitchen informs Flippy just how many raw burgers it should be prepping.

Not everyone does it. We have many new employers as well. Look for ways to increase new employment rather than ways to encourage old employers to get rid of more people. This demand-driven perspective is pointless because it doesn't provide a way for workers to be worth more. But it ignores that employers are also part of the system. Their economic demands need to be met as well. Interfering with the employment transaction in favor of one side is a recipe for getting less and lower quality employment overall.
