    Capitalism debuts 34-legged table that "democratises discomfort"
    Design collective Capitalism has unveiled The Uncomfortable table, which has 34 legs to ensure that all dinners have an awkward eating experience.Named The Uncomfortable, the unconventional table plays on the common frustration of being sat at the end of the table with an inconveniently placed leg during family gatherings and celebrations.Capitalism has created a 34-legged table as their debut project"In almost all middle-class Spanish families, there's always someone stuck with the leg," explained the creatives behind the Capitalism project. "We decided to democratise the discomfort with a table where everyone gets a leg.""Our goal is quite simple: we want people to think, 'Damn, I got the leg'. The difference is that, with this table, everyone has the chance to experience that feeling equally."The table is purposefully designed to distribute inconvenience equallyMeasuring 2.75 meters in length, the table's 34 legs were purposefully designed not for structural necessity but to distribute inconvenience equally among all diners. This deliberate focus on discomfort prioritises concept over practicality."The concept challenges traditional design by not aiming to be useful or functional but instead addressing this inequality in an ironic way," the group told Dezeen.Read: Paul Coenen adds "shrink-wrap" pattern to aluminium furniture collectionOver half of the legs were designed and produced by Capitalism, while the remainder were sourced pre-made, several of which were taken from popular table designs in Spain."Since our goal was to represent a collection of tables within a single piece, many of the legs were taken from tables that have been bestsellers in Spain," said the group. "Others were custom-designed to balance the composition and create contrast."Some of the legs are custom-designed while others are pre-madeEach leg was crafted and treated differently, with chrome-plated and galvanised steel legs shining alongside copper and methacrylate ones.The contrasting materials were intended to create a visual cacophony that highlights the table's disruptive intent and mirrors the diversity of family dynamics across Spain.The chaotic sprawl of legs was unified by a four-centimetre-thick solid oak tabletop that was finished with a blend of teak oil, linseed oil and additional varnishes that enhance both its durability and natural aesthetic."We wanted the table to feel timelesssomething that wasn't tied to any specific style or era, yet somehow belonged to all of them," said the collective."The robustness and longevity of oak worked perfectly in our favour to achieve this."The legs are crafted from a mix of materialsThe piece is currently on display at CUPRA City Garage. Capitalism, an anonymous group linked to the creative world, describes itself as a collective that reflects on and questions the paradoxes of modern society.Other furniture recently featured on Dezeen include a reissue of an IKEA steel-framed shelf and a marble door punctuated by nine porthole windows.The photography is by Miguel de Guzmn / Imagen Subliminal.The post Capitalism debuts 34-legged table that "democratises discomfort" appeared first on Dezeen.

    The humans behind the robots
    This story originally appeared in The Algorithm, our weekly newsletter on AI. To get stories like this in your inbox first, sign up here.Heres a question. Imagine that, for $15,000, you could purchase a robot to pitch in with all the mundane tasks in your household. The catch (aside from the price tag) is that for 80% of those tasks, the robots AI training isnt good enough for it to act on its own. Instead, its aided by a remote assistant working from the Philippines to help it navigate your home and clear your table or put away groceries. Would you want one?Thats the question at the center of my story for our magazine, published online today, on whether we will trust humanoid robots enough to welcome them into our most private spaces, particularly if theyre part of an asymmetric labor arrangement in which workers in low-wage countries perform physical tasks for us in our homes through robot interfaces. In the piece, I wrote about one robotics company called Prosper and its massive effortbringing in former Pixar designers and professional butlersto design a trustworthy household robot named Alfie. Its quite a ride. Read the story here.Theres one larger question that the story raises, though, about just how profound a shift in labor dynamics robotics could bring in the coming years.For decades, robots have found success on assembly lines and in other somewhat predictable environments. Then, in the last couple of years, robots started being able to learn tasks more quickly thanks to AI, and that has broadened their applications to tasks in more chaotic settings, like picking orders in warehouses. But a growing number of well-funded companies are pushing for an even more monumental shift.Prosper and others are betting that they dont have to build a perfect robot that can do everything on its own. Instead, they can build one thats pretty good, but receives help from remote operators anywhere in the world. If that works well enough, theyre hoping to bring robots into jobs that most of us would have guessed couldnt be automated: the work of hotel housekeepers, care providers in hospitals, or domestic help. Almost any indoor physical labor is on the table, Prospers founder and CEO, Shariq Hashme, told me.Until now, weve mostly thought about automation and outsourcing as two separate forces that can affect the labor market. Jobs might be outsourced overseas or lost to automation, but not both. A job that couldnt be sent offshore and could not yet be fully automated by machines, like cleaning a hotel room, wasnt going anywhere. Now, advancements in robotics are promising that employers can outsource such a job to low-wage countries without needing the technology to fully automate it.Its a tall order, to be clear. Robots, as advanced as theyve gotten, may find it difficult to move around complex environments like hotels and hospitals, even with assistance. That will take years to change. However, robots will only get more nimble, as will the systems that enable them to be controlled from halfway around the world. Eventually, the bets made by these companies may pay off.What would that mean? One, the labor movements battle with AIwhich this year has focused its attention on automation at ports and generative AIs theft of artists workwill have a whole new battle to fight. It wont just be dock workers, delivery drivers, and actors seeking contracts to protect their jobs from automationit will be hospitality and domestic workers too, along with many others.Second, our expectations of privacy would radically shift. People buying those hypothetical household robots would have to be comfortable with the idea that someone that they have never met is seeing their dirty laundryliterally and figuratively.Some of those changes might happen sooner rather than later. For robots to learn how to navigate places effectively, they need training data, and this year has already seen a race to collect new data sets to help them learn. To achieve their ambitions for teleoperated robots, companies will expand their search for training data to hospitals, workplaces, hotels, and more.Now read the rest of The AlgorithmDeeper LearningThis is where the data to build AI comes fromAI developers often dont really know or share much about the sources of the data they are using, and the Data Provenance Initiative, a group of over 50 researchers from both academia and industry, wanted to fix that. They dug into 4,000 public data sets spanning over 600 languages, 67 countries, and three decades to understand whats feeding todays top AI models, and how that will affect the rest of us.Why it matters: AI is being incorporated into everything, and what goes into the AI models determines what comes out. However, the team found that AIs data practices risk concentrating power overwhelmingly in the hands of a few dominant technology companies, a shift from how AI models were being trained just a decade ago. Over 90% of the data sets that the researchers analyzed came from Europe and North America, and over 70% of data for both speech and image data sets comes from YouTube. This concentration means that AI models are unlikely to capture all the nuances of humanity and all the ways that we exist, says Sara Hooker, a researcher involved in the project.
