The Noid has returned to fight Domino’s delivery robots
the takeout ^

Posted on 04/27/2021 7:27:58 AM PDT by mylife

Mankind has been successfully avoiding the Noid for over 25 years... until now. And, in a shocking turn of events, the Noid may no longer be an enemy, but an ally in our fight against the greatest threat our species has ever faced: robots.

The Takeout’s Robot Beat is devoted to informing readers about the many ways robots are trying to destroy us, one of which is to find ways of infiltrating the food biz. Two weeks ago Domino’s announced that it was officially in cahoots with the robots, using the Nuro R2—the first completely autonomous, driverless, on-road delivery vehicle. And now I’ve learned that the Noid, once known primarily for incompetent boobery, has come out of retirement to stop this robot at all costs.

Starting today, you can see the Noid’s attempts to destroy the Nuro R2 in a new series of commercials from Domino’s. Thus far, the attempts have been a massive failure, but I believe in the Noid, because someone needs to be brave enough to fight these robots with their bare fists, and I’m not doing it.

...and self-driving cars have to have a driver in the driver’s seat, paying attention to the road.

Who does that in a robot pizza car?

As long as the fast food industry is not allowed to let the market determine their own labor costs via P&L you will be seeing more of these robot/droids used to replace soaring human labor costs. It’s really just that simple.

Want someone to blame then blame the unqualified politicians that are constantly mandating that these corporations pay their labor artificially higher wages without a corresponding increase in the labors productivity.

I’ve wondered on occasion exactly what’s gonna happen when masses of robots take over most of the jobs. It can’t be just rich getting richer, but since robots are unpaid, companies and corporations will have to be taxed to pay for UBI. I know that sounds horribly communistic, but what else could we do?

We have to work to get paid, but if we simply CANNOT work, what else? I’m 36 years old and the way things are going I can see it happening in my lifetime.
