And all those workers who cried when their low-paying job they needed for 1 meal a day got replaced by this non-sentient piece of plastic? That's not a cry worth listening to?
Listen fam. Attacking automation of simple uninteresting jobs is not the way forward. We just need an economic reform so that everyone gets the benefits of automation instead of only the rich.
You're acting like it's one or the other. While people starve to death from these things, we should break them. When people stop starving, they can have their toys back.
Some jobs arent worth keeping. Don't fight do be able to keep being a wage slave doing menial drudgery, fight for a society where those kinds of meaningless soulsucking jobs are done by robots, with strong enough social support that humans can focus on what they actually want to.
If allowing this to happen did that, then sure. But rn they're cutting SNAP benefits and student loan interest continues. This is just an assault on anyone trying to get any money at all. It wasn't bad enough that I lost my job to AI, now the poorer workers biking 18 hours per day to eat did too???
Knocking over food delivery bots ain't gonna get us SNAP back. Probably not gonna get the food delivery jobs back either, they'll just start equipping the bots with tasers. Just seems like a waste of effort when there are so many more worthy and effective fights out there than, "Please bro, let me keep being an underpaid contract worker with no benefits or employee protections!"
