      Japan is setting up labs that can run almost entirely on their own using AI and robots. Researchers at AIST are building these systems so machines can handle the repetitive experiments that usually take people forever to finish. By using AI to plan the tests and robots to move things around, they can keep the lab running 24 hours a day without any breaks.

      This is a big step for automation in research and could change how labs operate. These systems are designed to handle high volumes of data and keep experiments moving even when staff arent there. This kind of tech might help speed up the development of new materials and medicines by allowing for constant testing.

      I mean, at least if you have these guys working in Wuhan, you can just dunk em in a vat of alcohol or something between charges, instead of walking out with CoViD-32 on their footlike-appendage

      Flipside, Skynet got the imperative to see how far we can take germ warfare (as prevention) and makes *yersinia pestis* look like a cold while nobody was looking.

      Love to see what it does with the clot. 
      Can it do calibrations and QC every day on its own? Can it troubleshoot and fix itself when there’s an error?

      And how does it get the specimens since we don’t have humans anymore in this process but we’re testing human samples or are we also making the AI in the robots generate fake samples that it’s testing?

      Cause I would love for a lab to be automated so I don’t have to do it anymore, but I wanna make sure it’s done properly and also what’s the point of doing it if these robots are gonna take all the jobs and we don’t have a society that supports humans and then just let them die because they’re not working then there’s kind of no point in the robot
