So-called artificial intelligence (AI) will keep staff at fast casual dining low. Till more affordable bots can serve and clean tables.

"...
One promise of AI is that it can make fast-food and casual-dining restaurants more automated, lessening the need for human labor and speeding up the work of existing staff. The ability to offset labor costs—whether by reducing or more accurately forecasting it—is a major cost savings for restaurants, Jashinsky said.
AI can also make the dining experience more efficient and satisfying for customers at drive-throughs and in restaurants.
But there is reason to proceed with caution: AI-based order taking isn’t always accurate, and Wendy’s faced backlash last year for testing menus that used AI to adjust pricing.

They'll keep at it, till it's normalized. As it already is at some stores.
Training a cow was never something I expected to do - because I don’t know the first thing about it! But God blessed us with Maisy who is a little “green” as they say. In this video, I’m working to get a lead rope hooked to her halter so I can teach her to walk with me. I’m confident we’ll turn her into the best milking cow there ever was - might take a decade, but we’ll get there!

Judge Tiffany Cartwright has decided in favor of Washington state in my 1st Amendment case. The state's attorneys argued that the Silent Majority Foundation filed my case a couple days too late, and the judge agreed - meaning that she decided I am barred from continuing due to the statute of limitations. This news is just as shocking to me as it may be for some of you - I was speechless when I found out and even now I don't really know what to say. Attorney Pete Serrano is joining me Monday to answer your questions. If you want to read the documents, you can do so at the link below. I inquired about appealing, but Pete and the legal team advised me that I had no real chance - and Washington was asking I pay their attorneys fees, which could have totaled $50,000 or more. They were willing to drop that request if I dropped the case.
