Oct. 14 wasn’t the first time Carolyn Marvin put herself in front of an autonomous delivery robot.

    Not that random because I listened to it before,

    But “autonomous delivery robot” by Grandson came on while reading this:

    She always makes, among other things, the points of them displaxing jobs. I feel like the more salinent point is uber eats being a thing at all. They are fucking restaurants, delivery drivers, and users, with in-person deliveries, and they will keep fucking restaurants and users with these robots.

    I’m still not convinced that these things are actually autonomous. My belief is that they’re being piloted by people in India or some other foreign country via the internet.

    Apparently, it can be as simple as surrounding them with traffic cones. 🤣

    Unironically, the same was done to the “pioneers” of the ol’ West, back when. 🤔 Go figure.

    Going out of your way to make a person’s lunch late seems like a very poor use of your time as well as being a dick move.
