Yeah, maybe in another 20 years.

christ, this can't come soon enough. my last delivery guy told me my fly was down

It needs a cyborg tail gunner for deliveries in rough neighbourhoods

Looks like the pizza hut marketing team watched the new black memerror season

Honestly, they'll let humans do the job in those areas. It'd be cool with a pizza that's being cooked or at least heated on the way to your door, but the novelty will disappear after the first time.

>Delivery fee is $15
>company reply to complaints is that you would’ve been tipping that much anyway

I would fully welcome automated delivery vehicles if it means I don't have to add 5 dollars onto an already exorbitant 15 bucks for a large pizza and drink

That's what the delivery fee is for

I mean sure, it's bad enough pizza that a roving robot could easily be entrusted to bake it. So what the fuck.

It's shit pizza anyways. But I approve shitty pizza at least arriving warm.

Haven't you seen Black Mirror Season 4?

NO THANKS.

I used to find the casual resemblance between shitty cyber punk from the 90s and today funny.

>delivery
>still have to leave your house and walk out to the street and pick it up
>I live in an apartment 4 stories off the ground and a winding labyrinth to the street

Maybe it'll work like an aircraft carrier that uses a little drone to deposit the pizza your balcony?

will these things deliver to the ghetto?

Delivery fee for anywhere I've ordered is anywhere from $5-$10 dollars. That's a lot of gas for driving A to B in 20 minutes.

I was hoping the future would be significantly different...

>cosa nostra pizza

Hell yeah, man. At least that VRchat program could work as an early alpha prototype of the Metaverse.

>non-free software web ordering and now non free software delivery drivers
>tfw the botnet truly wants me to starve

What if you can order this to things other than your house or even a moving location? Imagine rendezvousing at speed on the drive to the Future VR porno theater like jets refueling mid air?

Did.. did he help you.. zip it up?

Please tell me you winked and smiled at him afterwards.

mfw pizzabot runs over my family getting shitty pizza to some hamplanets in 30min or less

Just what we need, more uneducated people without jobs.

What if we went back to most families owning a farm, everyone just taking care of themselves for the most part but with modern medicine and gigabit internet?

Tip the car over for some pizza.

Who's gonna tell the cops who did it?
Some robit?

Not enough arable land in most places for people to do that. There'd be a mass migration problem. Stupid idea.

Kek
Also dooooooooooom

This but with spike strips and a snow plow.

Because superfarms have been a more economic and growth-sustaining practice for hundreds of years, you dingus.

contrary to everyone in this thread saying "it isn't possible", it's actually extremely possible. The problem is shifting to it- day to day forces don't encourage society to move into this direction. It would be quite a few more steps past "modern medicine and gigabit internet", you don't achieve a realistic high quality of life and self-sustenance ratio on the individual level- would take very large families/extended families to make it happen.

I'm actually a believer in neo-fuedalism for this very reason, there are quite a few humans that simply couldn't maintain and operate their own farm, even more humans that could maintain it only for a few generations, and a limited few that would be able to manage to support continued improvements in technology for the welfare and quality of life of everybody involved.

>implying this thing won't be loaded with cameras

>order online after this happens
>one medium pizza 2 topping $7.99
>plus tax $8.96
>plus delivery fee $10.34
>plus maintenance fee $13.55
>plus gas surcharge (based on distance from store) $16.04

and there will still be a little tip jar attached to the thing with a little camera bolted above it.

3rd and fuck my life

the pizza you're ordering is also proprietary, non-free and closed source.

Fair critique, its an idealist take on what mass automation is bringing us.

Best case scenario baring miracle tech like cheap cold fusion or some other horseshit, the bottom economic half of humanity right now are straight fucked in the medium to long term. Probably bottom 75% or possibly even more. When I said we though I suppose I'm betraying my burgerness and that our population density is still low enough that this could actually be feasible with less painful population contractions than most other countries.

Those super farms only remain viable on incredibly unsustainble use of water, phosphorous, power, and probably other resources. At current rates I'd wager we overdraw those resources in roughly that order.


I'm certainly open to argument though on why we need to sustain current population levels, or to the topic of this board how the fuck we're going to keep feeding everyone.

>I'm certainly open to argument though on why we need to sustain current population levels, or to the topic of this board how the fuck we're going to keep feeding everyone.

The only limit we're at with our current population is logistics and motivation. We have more than enough energy, land, water, and even food, no new technology required. It just doesn't get to where it needs to go and gets vacuumed up into wasteful cycles. We could keep feeding everyone IF enough people wanted to. I don't really care.

Even if you can eliminate all waste, or more realistically maybe somewhat reduce it how do you address

1. We're already overexploiting some sources of fresh water and damaging others.

2. Our supplies of phosphorous for artificial fertilizers are, baring novel means of productions and or recycling, becoming significantly harder to access for both engineering and human reasons.

3. Access and deployment of both of the above rely on enormous consumption of fossil fuels. Nevermind powering machinery used on farms directly, and energy cost of transit.

4. I forgot in the post you're referencing that the impact of mass monoculture on the environment, its vulnerability to mass spread of diseases, and overuse of chemical pesticides and antibiotics it depends on leading to the rise of resistant vermin and diseases.

Even if we feed everybody right now, we'd be no less rapidly depleting finite resources and relying on techniques that the overuse of is destroying the future efficacy of. We'd likely deplete them even faster with the linked rise in population growth accelerating all of those problems and the eventual significant loss of crop/life stock yields each one will lead to.

We can probably stave off food supply shocks by changing what we're raising and eating for at least some significant time into the future even as the onset of the listed issues begin, but the big question I think is why? Why accelerate the degradation of quality of life the world over for the sake of more people. What good will 8 billion do us that 7 billion did not? I'd much rather live relatively well under some kind of heavy economic incentive to waste less and have fewer children, than eat insects and live in a massive filthy urban sprawl with so many other equally poor off persons.

I enjoy this optimism.

>Those super farms only remain viable on incredibly unsustainble use of water, phosphorous, power, and probably other resources
You can't possibly be this stupid.
Superfarms have been around for HUNDREDS of years, without all the modern infrastructure that you're proposing allows them to exist. A superfarm is just a regular sized farm that exclusively produces on kind of product, which is infinitely more sustainable.

There's an enormous difference in yield between a specialized pre-industrial farm and post industrial one is what I'm trying to argue. I think maybe that's been lost and I misunderstood your use of super farm in this context

Also perhaps I shouldn't have said "take care of oneself". I'd certainly expect local and some long distance trade to remain common practice. Just something closer to how towns and farms worked before the mid 20th century with hopefully some capacity to maintain some of the technological advancements we've made. I guess that depends on whether we can really automate as much as we think we can right now.

Returning to that level of decentralized agricultural lifestyle would starve billions of people and send us back the to 1500s, and modern technology would stagnate and crumble because we'd all be busy tending our shitty fields for significantly less food than we have one.

Well, yeah. I'm not trying to pitch this as a genuine improvement. I love the convenience of individually plastic wrapped snacks and that I can order toys from literally the other side of the globe. I'm just trying to think through what happens when the malthusian bomb finally hits a failure point that more technology can't solve, and that maybe starting this shift voluntarily with as best ordered of a drawdown of population as we can managed might stabilize us at a better plateau. shit maybe we can even get this to kinda synchronize with the predicted loss of jobs to automation so we don't end up with 90% of the population sitting around thumbing its own ass and plotting revolution against the the elite? That ain't gonna stabilize shit.

that will be $9.99 plus tip, you have 10 seconds to comply

lol absolute madman

how old are you

>be American pizza delivery robot
>get shot

The cosmos is proprietary

there is no contraction of population that is stable

putting a few 12ga sabot rounds into the engine would be pretty satisfying

So is it going to have a built-in pizza oven to cook your order on the way to delivery?

A+ for effort.

>it’s an electric car

Technological preservation doesn't necessarily mean it has to be in the hands of every human being on earth. I feel that if this proposed Agrarian, neo-feudal society were to come into existence there should be a dedicated group devoted to technological advance and regulation, with the rest of humanity being left to a simpler lifestyle. A group drawn from the population early on, properly trained and educated in the sciences, but with the strong family background that extended families in agrarian societies giving them a sense of connection with the people they're supposed to be watching over.

I highly value things like computing, the internet, and global transportation, but I feel like most people use these irresponsibly (To be honest, ourselves included.) On top of this, technological advance and application is too controlled by economics. Real development only happens where there's money to be made, and the results tend to fuel self degradation and the pursuit of satisfying narcissism and greed. This says nothing of the massive resource cost that goes into sustaining a world where everyone goes through a new batch of electronics each year, and constantly need to consume mass produce products that are thrown away within a year.

Putting controls on what technology is freely available and giving people what they need instead of what they want might lead to an improvement in how people utilize tech, as well as preventing the rise of another wasteful consumer society. Is it really such a bad thing if people are living productive, satisfying lives, but don't have access to internet/social media, shitty one-use appliances, and the latest automobiles?

>not anting to deliver pizzas to scruffy neckbeards with their dicks flopping out

The sheer audacity.

I wish I could order movies and music delivered to my computer over the internet, just like pizzas can be delivered to my home.

Damn that aint no good gonna be movin to the dominoes.
Cant rely on no gook shit to deliver in 30 minutes if it be breaking down every time it passes a puddle banzai
Now a FORD. That is an American car. Reliable.
Cant support no border hopping industry.
Only order pizzas that support Americans, American vehicles and the fresh toppings ok bitch

If that stupid faggot didn't jaywalk there wouldn't have been a problem

I'm pretty sure theres already science fiction based on this and it don't end well

>Putting delivery drivers out of the job
Are you bullies, Veeky Forums?

Why is that young lady not wearing any pants?

Request an anime gril hologram and molest it in the street

>Shorts are a garment worn by all genders over their pelvic area, circling the waist and splitting to cover the upper part of the legs, sometimes extending down to the knees but not covering the entire length of the leg. They are called "shorts" because they are a shortened version of trousers, which cover the entire leg, but not the foot. Shorts are typically worn in warm weather or in an environment where comfort and air flow are more important than the protection of the legs.

What are we going to do with all the taxi/uber/delivery/truck drivers when automatous cars and trucks catch hold? And when robots do fast food work?

We just going to have a bigger welfare program?

I can't wait to not have to deal with anyone to order my food.

One step closer to reality.

We all know the answer, user.

Never watched that.

I have a decent job so I picture in twenty years me driving home and getting kidnapped. America will become Brazil-tier.

Looks like one of those future trucks filled with robos from I Robot.

Either or UBI (Universal Basic Income).
We're either going to become a cyberpunk dystopia of squalor ghettos built in the shadows of giant glistening skyscrapers that block out the sun (sort of like Shanghai or Taipei), or the futuristic 1950s utopia that the Jetson's had always portrayed would exist. There are no middle grounds honestly. Or the Terminator movie series becomes real, that's always a possibility I guess if they can pass the Turing Test and the singularity occurs.

I cannot wait until somebody uses one of these to blow up a nursery

why should you wait? get started today

Welp, Allahu Snackbar!

What about the people who make money? Will crime go way up and we'll get robbed all the time?

I wonder what happens when a bunch of people have nothing to do all day. I mean right now it seems like you are more likely to commit crime when you have no job.

>>forced to spend 3 months in the breadstick mines for not tipping

All three of your cases assume advanced organized society will persists through all possible upheavals. Bronze Age Collapse 2.0 is frankly more plausible than a utopia that relies on people being remotely rational actors.

Would make for a good animation.

Something something cringe etc.

Well, you non-tipping neckbeards must be happy that you won't have to tip the robot.

It'll just be a $10 delivery charge

I imagine robbing someone of their money will be harder for the average street thug once cash is gone entirely and it's all electronic.
They'll still take your phone, though.

People who make money are already being robbed by the State of course.

Wasn't this in Black Mirror

Pizza Hut's behind the curve on that one.
