Some choice comments:
It’s only logical to put those people who can’t control themselves in an institution or jail.
“Real capitalism has never been tried”:
Capitalism is okay, aggressive colonial plutocracy isn’t.
On rehabilitation being better than punishment:
I doesn’t feel right.
Casual sinophobia:
Lol, Chinese people don’t even help other Chinese people when they’re hurt/injured.
Arm robots? Sounds like a great idea!
A lady ridding a robot. They should be able to eletroshock anyone trying to harass them
Empathy? What is that?:
I feel bad for these people. 😔
…why?
“Design effort” > human lives
There should be a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years for anyone who vandalizes these robots. There’s a great deal of design effort that goes into achieving compliance with existing regulations and society in order to make sure it behaves appropriately. People vandalizing them is no different than vandalizing other public infrastructure and should be punished accordingly.
Lifetime imprisonment for stealing food:
Lock the people up and throw away the key. Far too many people fetishize mental disorders and use that as an excuse for bad actions. I firmly believe the amount of people you think have mental illnesses are actually pretty low, and these people here are just using that as an excuse to cause disorder and chaos.
Eugenics enjoyer:
Personally, I think the death punishment or at the very minimum sterilization should be handed out to people that commit such crimes so that they can’t pass on their lowlife genes. Give me a single reason why the existence of the disgusting old skank riding the robot in the video or the man kicking over the robot at the beginning somehow contributes to humanity and why people like them should have the liberty of having children.
This is another issue of UBI in my opinion as well. Our current job market is a gene-filtering system of sorts, where the more intelligent, hardworking, and cooperative you are, the more likely you are to earn more money, giving you the option to have children. What happens when you give even the dregs of society like those in the video who contribute nothing the resources to have kids? Lower intelligence is already positively correlated with fertility. If you completely remove the bottleneck of finances by implementing UBI, its pretty easy to guess what is to come.
There’s soup kitchens, social markets, etc. etc. Doubt anyone in America or the EU literally has to steal or starve.
racism
so are we ignoring the fact it’s the basketball americans
There are some comments that are more reasonable to be fair.
Lol, Chinese people don’t even help other Chinese people when they’re hurt/injured.
What a load of horseshit. China is one of the friendliest places I’ve ever been to, right up there with Ireland.
It’s an old racist canard loves to bring out. They believe China has laws that punish those who try to help but don’t succeed, and so they believe Chinese people just let people die rather than helping.

Yeah, I recall it being somewhat of a thing, but like with most of Reddit they’ll latch onto the smallest thing and blow it out of proportion
Good to hear it’s been amended at least
In China, robot delivery vehicles deployed to help with COVID-19 emergency
Literally first google result, wonder what their reaction would be. Actualy we already know, something something authoritarian fascist lockdown yadayada.
Lol, Chinese people don’t even help other Chinese people when they’re hurt/injured.
Meanwhile, in circlejerks about NYC:
DAE New Yorkers smart and tough and don’t give a fuck and walk right past people bleeding out because they don’t have time for that shit?

I think for me the most infuriating thing about these delivery robots is how much space they take up and how much they fuck up the normal flow of foot traffic. It takes up more space and is more disruptive than most people walking, but it isn’t a person walking, it’s a private company’s product delivering one person’s order and also serve as a rolling advertisement for the delivery service and restaurant. Granted, if it was apparent how many cars on the road were just Uber Eats drivers, I’d probably find that infuriating too, but at least they aren’t more disruptive than a typical car. Can you imagine if these things took off? If there were dozens of these things rolling down every sidewalk? It’d be a pedestrian hell, especially for those with mobility issues.
They’re terrified of economy of scale efficiency but absolutely love individualized treat vehicles bringing them their treats.
Lul @ “basketball Americans” and “tHe cUReNt URBaN EnVirOnMent”!
One of them just straight up said monkeys even
The most regrettable turn in evolution is the Yakubian ape developing speech.
- Seeing fascists come out in full force over a treat robot is a great reminder of why I’m on the ML train
- “I’ll fuck this up just for fun” is not leftism; you want to be intentional and targeted when you call for direct action or else you open the door for opportunists and risk getting lost in the sauce
“lowlife genes”
moment
That one was the most mask off one of the lot. The whole take was peak deeplib: jobs as a gene-filtering system and anti-UBI to stop the poors breeding. Absolute fuckhole
I was going to write a serious reply, but then I got to this part and I can’t stop laughing lol
Yee-haw

“but racism is when you say the n word and are the kkk. I’m not saying it, which makes me not racist”
They can’t be bigots; they have lanyards, are paid too well, and were told all throughout their technical training that they were above such prejudices because they were nonpolitically full of logic and reason.
Did they really say that?
deleted by creator
Wonder how’s they react if people did the inverse called them NASCAR americans, ranch Americans or Alabama Americans
They get really mad at the classics, like or

This makes me realise I need a similar term for white Australians. VB Australians? Football Australians? Any ideas? (Tooheys) New Australians works for people from NSW since it’s a beer and highlights the colonialism, but I don’t know about it.
Also sticking with the beer theme, Bud Light Americans? That would doubly piss a lot of them off with their frothing rage over a trans woman doing one ad.
Bud light Americans is a great one lol

Yeah true, they’re classics for a reason I guess.
One of the other things that variety like to say is "DAE GREATEST AFRICAN AMERICAN EVER IS " and it drives me up a fucking wall.

For the unexamined white racist, it sounds cute and clever.
But it’s just Diet Racism.
The eugenics comment,
Yanquis just have a thing for eugenics. Scratch 'em once, watch it jump out.
i like how the preview generator shows the slogan tagline. should say:
Reddit - Dive into propertarian racism
one of them has a fucking flair that says
Empathy = The Force
People vandalizing them is no different than vandalizing other public infrastructure and should be punished accordingly.
when you’re a yank bazinga robots carrying pad Thai is all the public infrastructure you get
And of course the infrastructure annexes people space instead of car space 🙄
The AI hypebeasts at r/singularity are racist and bootlickers? say it aint so!
If I ever see one of these I’m fucking it up just for shits and giggles
A while back I saw some frat dudes had vandalized one, recorded it, and sent the vid to Barstool. Their school found out and charged them with felonies
I still wear a mask, you bet your ass I’m gonna flip them. What’s that camera going to do if it can barely see my face lol
What a bunch of fucking nerds. If I see one of these I’m flipping it over too because it’s funny.
