I do, too:

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.

I just saw one of the commercials.
The Noid is NOT trying to stop the robot to help out, like the article’s author says. He’s trying to stop the robot from delivering your pizza, just like he always did.
I, for one, do not like the idea. I hate Domino’s anyway (their pizza tastes like crap). What I don’t like is the possibility of taking away my job. I am a Doordash driver. If this catches on, the possibility exists for fleets of robots to take over deliveries for other places. Ergo, no job for me.
(Hey, I’m 58 and I have found a line of work that I can do that fits my physical abilities and my skill level. Not looking forward to losing it. Besides, despite the hiring surge that’s currently happening, no one wants to hire “an old, white person” like me.)
I do, too:
“dunno why people on FR desire putting people out of work in favor of robots”
With a robot you might get the occasional whiff of 3-in-1 Oil.
With Shantequisha...you get a huge lugie.
How are you going to stop it?
But yes, there will be a lot of idle hands, and we all know what that means.
I just don’t understand the obsession with driverless vehicles, robot workers, drones delivering packages...what are people, put out of jobs supposed to do to earn a living? This isn’t a Star Trek future where people spend all their time bettering their minds, this is real life where people get bored, quickly and start doing stupid things, (like posting on social media😀).
If the 21st century is any indication the Federation would really end up being the most doucebaggy political entity in forever.
At the rate things are going there will be robots for men too lazy to fondle themselves.
When most employees are replaced by robots, how many humans will have a job that enables to buy the products made by robots?
Smart people will always have jobs. The problem is how will the uneducated, unskilled people spend their time and energy?
Look at the inner cities for your clue.
The resulting law suits will drive Domino’s out of business.

The motivation was not from being lazy, just more of high tech geek stuff.

Probably already are, in Japan.
