Honestly, they'll let humans do the job in those areas. It'd be cool with a pizza that's being cooked or at least heated on the way to your door, but the novelty will disappear after the first time.

>Delivery fee is $15
>company reply to complaints is that you would’ve been tipping that much anyway

I would fully welcome automated delivery vehicles if it means I don't have to add 5 dollars onto an already exorbitant 15 bucks for a large pizza and drink

>>9953855
That's what the delivery fee is for

>>9953839

I mean sure, it's bad enough pizza that a roving robot could easily be entrusted to bake it. So what the fuck.

It's shit pizza anyways. But I approve shitty pizza at least arriving warm.

Because superfarms have been a more economic and growth-sustaining practice for hundreds of years, you dingus.

>>9954541
contrary to everyone in this thread saying "it isn't possible", it's actually extremely possible. The problem is shifting to it- day to day forces don't encourage society to move into this direction. It would be quite a few more steps past "modern medicine and gigabit internet", you don't achieve a realistic high quality of life and self-sustenance ratio on the individual level- would take very large families/extended families to make it happen.

I'm actually a believer in neo-fuedalism for this very reason, there are quite a few humans that simply couldn't maintain and operate their own farm, even more humans that could maintain it only for a few generations, and a limited few that would be able to manage to support continued improvements in technology for the welfare and quality of life of everybody involved.

>>9954460
the pizza you're ordering is also proprietary, non-free and closed source.

>>9954969

Fair critique, its an idealist take on what mass automation is bringing us.

>>9954981
>>9954993

Best case scenario baring miracle tech like cheap cold fusion or some other horseshit, the bottom economic half of humanity right now are straight fucked in the medium to long term. Probably bottom 75% or possibly even more. When I said we though I suppose I'm betraying my burgerness and that our population density is still low enough that this could actually be feasible with less painful population contractions than most other countries.

>>9955039
Those super farms only remain viable on incredibly unsustainble use of water, phosphorous, power, and probably other resources. At current rates I'd wager we overdraw those resources in roughly that order.


I'm certainly open to argument though on why we need to sustain current population levels, or to the topic of this board how the fuck we're going to keep feeding everyone.

>>9955506
>I'm certainly open to argument though on why we need to sustain current population levels, or to the topic of this board how the fuck we're going to keep feeding everyone.

The only limit we're at with our current population is logistics and motivation. We have more than enough energy, land, water, and even food, no new technology required. It just doesn't get to where it needs to go and gets vacuumed up into wasteful cycles. We could keep feeding everyone IF enough people wanted to. I don't really care.

>>9955560

Even if you can eliminate all waste, or more realistically maybe somewhat reduce it how do you address

1. We're already overexploiting some sources of fresh water and damaging others.

2. Our supplies of phosphorous for artificial fertilizers are, baring novel means of productions and or recycling, becoming significantly harder to access for both engineering and human reasons.

3. Access and deployment of both of the above rely on enormous consumption of fossil fuels. Nevermind powering machinery used on farms directly, and energy cost of transit.

4. I forgot in the post you're referencing that the impact of mass monoculture on the environment, its vulnerability to mass spread of diseases, and overuse of chemical pesticides and antibiotics it depends on leading to the rise of resistant vermin and diseases.

Even if we feed everybody right now, we'd be no less rapidly depleting finite resources and relying on techniques that the overuse of is destroying the future efficacy of. We'd likely deplete them even faster with the linked rise in population growth accelerating all of those problems and the eventual significant loss of crop/life stock yields each one will lead to.

We can probably stave off food supply shocks by changing what we're raising and eating for at least some significant time into the future even as the onset of the listed issues begin, but the big question I think is why? Why accelerate the degradation of quality of life the world over for the sake of more people. What good will 8 billion do us that 7 billion did not? I'd much rather live relatively well under some kind of heavy economic incentive to waste less and have fewer children, than eat insects and live in a massive filthy urban sprawl with so many other equally poor off persons.

>>9955059
I enjoy this optimism.

>>9955506
>Those super farms only remain viable on incredibly unsustainble use of water, phosphorous, power, and probably other resources
You can't possibly be this stupid.
Superfarms have been around for HUNDREDS of years, without all the modern infrastructure that you're proposing allows them to exist. A superfarm is just a regular sized farm that exclusively produces on kind of product, which is infinitely more sustainable.

>>9955736

There's an enormous difference in yield between a specialized pre-industrial farm and post industrial one is what I'm trying to argue. I think maybe that's been lost and I misunderstood your use of super farm in this context

Also perhaps I shouldn't have said "take care of oneself". I'd certainly expect local and some long distance trade to remain common practice. Just something closer to how towns and farms worked before the mid 20th century with hopefully some capacity to maintain some of the technological advancements we've made. I guess that depends on whether we can really automate as much as we think we can right now.

>>9955792
Returning to that level of decentralized agricultural lifestyle would starve billions of people and send us back the to 1500s, and modern technology would stagnate and crumble because we'd all be busy tending our shitty fields for significantly less food than we have one.

>>9955820

Well, yeah. I'm not trying to pitch this as a genuine improvement. I love the convenience of individually plastic wrapped snacks and that I can order toys from literally the other side of the globe. I'm just trying to think through what happens when the malthusian bomb finally hits a failure point that more technology can't solve, and that maybe starting this shift voluntarily with as best ordered of a drawdown of population as we can managed might stabilize us at a better plateau. shit maybe we can even get this to kinda synchronize with the predicted loss of jobs to automation so we don't end up with 90% of the population sitting around thumbing its own ass and plotting revolution against the the elite? That ain't gonna stabilize shit.

Technological preservation doesn't necessarily mean it has to be in the hands of every human being on earth. I feel that if this proposed Agrarian, neo-feudal society were to come into existence there should be a dedicated group devoted to technological advance and regulation, with the rest of humanity being left to a simpler lifestyle. A group drawn from the population early on, properly trained and educated in the sciences, but with the strong family background that extended families in agrarian societies giving them a sense of connection with the people they're supposed to be watching over.

I highly value things like computing, the internet, and global transportation, but I feel like most people use these irresponsibly (To be honest, ourselves included.) On top of this, technological advance and application is too controlled by economics. Real development only happens where there's money to be made, and the results tend to fuel self degradation and the pursuit of satisfying narcissism and greed. This says nothing of the massive resource cost that goes into sustaining a world where everyone goes through a new batch of electronics each year, and constantly need to consume mass produce products that are thrown away within a year.

Putting controls on what technology is freely available and giving people what they need instead of what they want might lead to an improvement in how people utilize tech, as well as preventing the rise of another wasteful consumer society. Is it really such a bad thing if people are living productive, satisfying lives, but don't have access to internet/social media, shitty one-use appliances, and the latest automobiles?

>Shorts are a garment worn by all genders over their pelvic area, circling the waist and splitting to cover the upper part of the legs, sometimes extending down to the knees but not covering the entire length of the leg. They are called "shorts" because they are a shortened version of trousers, which cover the entire leg, but not the foot. Shorts are typically worn in warm weather or in an environment where comfort and air flow are more important than the protection of the legs.

We're either going to become a cyberpunk dystopia of squalor ghettos built in the shadows of giant glistening skyscrapers that block out the sun (sort of like Shanghai or Taipei), or the futuristic 1950s utopia that the Jetson's had always portrayed would exist.

All three of your cases assume advanced organized society will persists through all possible upheavals. Bronze Age Collapse 2.0 is frankly more plausible than a utopia that relies on people being remotely rational actors.

Not gonna happen bro. Every country, every decade, has always had the standing offer to just stop - step aside, say "enough is enough, we're good" and rest on their laurels, building a happier society that is satisfied and doesn't want more. Your ancestors decided against this malaise and slow death so you could have gigabit internet, and you owe it to your children to decide against this so they can have terabit internet.

>>9958475
>I wonder what happens when a bunch of people have nothing to do all day. I mean right now it seems like you are more likely to commit crime when you have no job.

Right now they have nothing to do because

A: It is illegal to hire them at the low wages they're worth

B: Even if you do hire them at more than they're worth, they're taxed at close to effectively 100% on the first dollars because making money loses them access to food stamps and other social programs. If you tell somebody "You can get $X in food stamps and welfare for sitting on your ass, or $X+1 in wages for working all day," no shit they're gonna sit on their ass. Or work black market work that won't reduce their welfare.

C: And even if they do decide that they're willing to work all day for just one dollar extra, often work that they're qualified for is illegal to perform - for example. some states require you to have a "medallion" to drive a taxi, a license that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy.

So yeah, no shit, today they sit around doing nothing or do black market work like drug running or similar. If you institute a UBI, you get rid of B, but you'll still have A and C around.

Getting rid of B will probably be enough to get *some* of them into real work - if they can't lose UBI by making money, they'll find a way to make money without running into A and C - furry inflation artist or something.

However, many of Morocco’s mines are located in Western Sahara, which Morocco has occupied against international law."

Actually the fee is considered the restaurant's. It's usually in fine print that the fee is not a tip. Learned that when I was a driver for a short time.

>>9956170
dumping a couple loads in your moms ass would be even more satisfying

I actually have a whole day of public transport tomorrow. Maybe I should read Snow Crash again to pass the time.
Also looking through Igor Sobolevsky's other work now.

This shit gave me the creeps... it's about 4 seconds from apocalypse and about 12 years into the future. I like the rat-things though.

Is that the hitchiking peace ambassador robot that got gang raped in Pittsburg? lol Not sure what else they expected our of that 'experiement'...

>This shit gave me the creeps... it's about 4 seconds from apocalypse and about 12 years into the future.

That overarmored cop car is simply a evolution of 'Merican society.

Firstly, I never posted about unemployment. Take your projections elsewhere.
Secondly, being a delivery driver is not sustainable. Vehicle repairs negate any monetary gains you could make in the long term. It's constant hand to mouth as a result. I worked as a delivery driver for years, I am speaking from experience. You wear out vehicles fast driving food for a living. The few "lifers" in the delivery world have *at least* one other side gig, and those that didn't sponged off their parents or went to school (or both).
>"At least I'm not unemployed, don't judge my choice of career!"
If you think being a pizza delivery driver absolves you of further personal growth automating the service industry is the least of your worries.

>>9962619
This is what you fucking get for promoting your shit tipping custom.

Unless we're talking about light tanks or above you might actually be retarded, or a troll.

Armor protects the peace-officers, and allows them to protect others by providing an effective barricade for themselves and people around them.
>car is dented, shredded and shattered
Over-armored my ass. I've been repeatedly exposed to officers in body-armor responding to mild disturbances. They have always been professional and polite; I'd rather deal with them than the swarm around that car.

>>9965271
What?

>>9964388
All I'm saying is there's no reason you should be an asshole to him just because he was upset at the idea of losing his job.

>>9965312
He's talking about the car in >>9954413 I think. Although that is a privately owned pizza delivery vehicle and not a police car.

>>9965337
It is specifically a pizza delivery vehicle from the novel Snow Crash, which portrays an almost completely anarcho-capitalist society rather than simply a libertarian one. As I recall there was still a tiny remnant of the Govt. left but they were pretty much just a joke.
Very different setting from Soylent Green anyhow.

>>9953839
Just imagine all the people jumping in front of those things just because of black mirror.

>>9954001
lmao okay grandpa

How would Pizza Hut prevent their competitive local italian pizza joints from using stolen credit cards bought from the dark web to order a bunch of pizzas to an abandoned house then laying a bunch of these in front of the self-driving delivery car's path before it leaves?

Business idea: sell this service to rival pizza companies.

>>9953846
>Refuse to tip
>Car starts doing donuts on your lawn until you comply

Can't wait to be convicted of a crime by a guinea pig's memory as a result of a self-driving pizza delivery vehicle accident.

>>9953839
>wait until dinner rush
>watch pizza hut employees load up delivery-mobile with a stack of hot pizzas
>hop in car and wait for it to pull out

Your move, technology.

I imagine that would fall under all sorts of corporate espionage and destruction of property laws, you'd be lucky if they didn't jail you rather than just paying a fine.

>>9967410
it would probably be hard to get caught doing that IMO

>>9967475
If it were so simple they could do that to regular delivery drivers right now, how does the self-driving thing change the situation much?

>>9967488
An actual driver would be able to see the caltrops on the road so they would be able to dodge them, and delivery drivers are replaceable with cheap cars, the self-driving delivery vehicle getting taken out of service on a regular basis would probably be an expensive hit to the company.

>>9967502
You can distinguish tiny pieces of litter on the road? A camera sensor couldn't? You can't paint those little fuckers?
Your expectation is retarded, the self driving car would have the exact same issues, including just needing run-flat tires or a quick change.
If you want to keep thinking up stupid ideas go to /o/ and see if they don't laugh at you.

>>9967521
What's a self driving car going to do even if it can distinguish them littered across the road? Just spread them across both lanes so it can't get around, there's no driver in the car to move them.
If the sensors aren't advanced enough to detect them then the company would also have to pay for damages, whereas large pizza companies like pizza hut and dominos don't cover delivery driver's cars under their own insurance - it's entirely up to the delivery driver to make sure his vehicle is covered by commercial insurance which is usually prohibitively expensive so many of them drive around uninsured.

You clearly aren't thinking these arguments through, you're just trying to be contrarian.

>>9967534
It stops and finds another route, or reports back that there's a problem with the path, are you intentionally retarded? There are cars right now that will come to a full stop if an obstruction is in the way, a fully autonomous car would have even more sensors and communication systems.
But if you like go and test your theory and see how much trouble you get into.

>>9967542
Yeah if the camera sensors can detect them then the business idea isn't nearly as good, and finding a more effective way to disable them would probably be more worth someone's while.

>>9953839
This is a stupid idea, people don't want to walk to the car. Drones would be so much better.

>>9967502
>What are cameras
>What are "dash cams"

>>9967267
They use this shit in Mexico to rob cars (specially in Puebla and Mexico City)

>>9967850
I just think with drones it wouldn't keep it warm, flying through the air like that, especially in the winter or if it rains
