I hate almost every delivery service. They all exploit their workers. Deliveroo, UberEats, TakeAway, etc. almost all use refugees to deliver their food, with extreme hours, dangerous work (you ride a bike in traffic, often without insurance) and shit pay and contracts. They also bully restaurants into razor thin marges because if they don’t comply, they will be cut off from the service, making your place invisible to many people.
I don’t always like it but if I feel the need to order some quick food, I will do it at the place itself and go there to take my order. Fuck these companies.
Yea a while back I decided get rid of all my food apps. 1.) It’s expensive, 2.) It’s unhealthy to have every one of ur fav foods at the tap of a button,I don’t have an eating disorder but I imagine that’s how It’d start for me personally 3.) These companies are not paying people enough.
Ehh even if it was actually automated it wouldn’t be cool. Do we really need little delivery robots in a world entering climate Apocalypse? Or can lazy Americans take a fucking walk and fetch their own goddamn burritos.
Honestly, it would be an interesting step in the development of autonomous transport. Because while this might not be the most groundbreaking, if lessons learned here can be used for the development of autonomous buses for example, the practically would be incredible.
This is of course ruined by the capitalist system as that technology wouldn’t be “profitable”.
removing the worker means their labour cannot be profited from
They don’t belive in LTV though, so that was not any part of the motive. It was as always in similar cases simply that human labour was cheaper and immediately available compared to developing automation.
Innovation is when you make a more efficient slavery lol

capitalism really has to ruin everything :(
It was cool until I got to the part where they were remotely operated by people in the global south exploited and paid jack shit.
Fucking capitalists need to go to the wall
Take them to the wall and make their admirers have to be the ones to pull the trigger.
Why develop a self-driving AI when you can just exploit poor people? Way faster ROI

trains, tiny trains carrying food, it would require infrastructure, but no ai nor exploitation in the longrun
Makes sense. We’re talking capitalism here, so:
removing the worker means their labour cannot be profited from
the worker is reduced to a machine, a faceless element of the system (see the Soviet clash with cybernetics)
They don’t belive in LTV though, so that was not any part of the motive. It was as always in similar cases simply that human labour was cheaper and immediately available compared to developing automation.
I’ve heard that they do this with some of those customer service chat ‘bots’, too. They say they are autonomous but just use cheap labor.
