I’m sorry but a robot box delivering my food doesn’t make it “slop,” this isn’t like AI at all. The food isn’t worse, or even colder, it’s just being delivered by a robot instead of an underpaid guy on a bike or in a car. Why are we fighting to maintain an extremely exploitative gig economy and tipping culture at the same time? I thought both were bad? I don’t get it.
Nah actually people like you need to take a walk outside lmao in my opinion. These things suck for foot traffic and take jobs from people who often have no other means of survival at all. They are made by weird tech guys who design them for optimizing profit over everything else which should NOT be the case for what is a vehicle in a street
I literally walk to work every day in an area with a ton of them, they’re less in the way than the average moron abruptly stopping in front of me because they’re more into their phone call than paying attention to the world around them lol.
The average moron is a human being. If corporations paid their fair of taxes and didn’t just suck blood from the public in terms of bankruptcy, killing jobs, and subsidies than maybe they might have a place among human foot traffick. But as long as the bots enjoy rights and privlages that humans are not afforded they can all fucking burn. This isnt innovation this is the death of the human mind and soul.
Yeah you’re right, funneling more money to the benevolent overlords who own Uber, Doordash, etc. and exploit economically marginalized individuals instead of robots, including by incentivizing them to do bike deliveries in dangerous heat, is a much more just system. That definitely helps fight the evil of large corporations. /s
How stupid do you have to be to believe that the robots are not also funneling money to Uber, Doordash, etc.
Explain to me how continuing to exploit economically marginalized people with the current gig economy is better without abstract nonsense like “we’re crushing the human soul by using delivery robots.”
continuing to exploit economically marginalized people
Stop twisting my progressive language to suit your ends.
Removing jobs from these people without giving them anything else in return is economically marginalizing them.
Not to mention, I just think more people need to be brought face-to-face, through jobs or otherwise, and I genuinely think you’re a bad person if you don’t.
