Marty the Robot Trash Scam
Found out about the latest tech scam and I'm losing it It's this thing called Marty the Robot, it costs 35k and all it does is detect trash on the floor and yell an alarm for a wage worker to come and pick it up
A tweet shares a photo of Marty the Robot standing in a supermarket aisle. The joke is that an extremely expensive robot performs the simple task of spotting litter and summoning a low-paid worker to clean it, presenting automation as an absurd and wasteful tech scam. It is used as a reaction to overengineered technology, corporate cost-cutting, or ridiculous automation. EN: A tweet shares a photo of Marty the Robot standing in a supermarket aisle.
