Saw an AI sorting recycling at the dump in Portland last week
Went to drop off some cardboard. There's this machine picking through stuff on the conveyor belt. Arms moving fast. Grabbing plastic bottles out of the paper pile. Human sorter next to it just watching. Said it catches 30% more than people do. Crazy to see it work in real time. Anyone else run into these at their local dump?

Wait, wasn't that thing super loud? Tbh I saw one at our transfer station last month and it was way faster than I expected. Ngl it made me a little uneasy watching those arms whip around. But honest truth, the human sorter looked bored out of his mind.
