Last month, a video of William Gude, known online as FilmThePoliceLA, showed him yelling at a Mingo food delivery robot in Los Angeles.
Is this an example of ‘old man yells at cloud’..?
The video went viral on Twitter and has since been posted on many other social media services and websites, including Reddit and Instagram. In the video, the robot parks near Gude on the sidewalk by a street crossing and asks him to hit the crosswalk button. Gude refuses multiple times before leaving it trapped at the crosswalk. It’s one of many videos posted by Gude documenting such robot delivery drones.
I guess everyone deserves to have a hobby...
“You want me to press the button for you? You want me to press the button for you, Mingo? F**k you! Press it yourself,” says the man in the minute-long video. “You took a human’s job, and you want me to press the button for you?”
If a robot stole your job, it can’t have been a very good one!
Food delivery bots have become more commonplace in big cities in the United States. However, these robots aren’t liked by everyone.
Presumably they’re well liked by those that are receiving the food..?
Welcome to the future, where you will soon be replaced by bots to save rich people money, and instead, you will serve the bots, like we see with Waymo paying people to close doors left open on its robotaxis.
Well, there’s an answer to that then, isn’t there? Simply charge an excess fee when you don’t shut the door!
