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.
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.
