Delivery robots are now being robbed for food and other items in some cities where they have been introduced. Is robot security catching up?

    I don’t think waving away being a Luddite just by saying so makes it so.

    I can’t think of a single angle of principled moral theory that makes this okay. Vandalizing or stealing someone else’s property they paid for. Hurting both the restaurant and the customer by depriving them of their food. Holding back progress on an invention that can reduce the need for humans to engage in a type of work that is hard, dangerous at times, and low paid.

    From a purely rational on paper view, it doesn’t look terribly different than saying vandalizing or stealing from delivery vehicles driven by people isn’t wrong. What possible justification could there be for this view besides Ludditism fuck robots?

      I wonder if people had more prospects would crime go down?

      That’s a rhetorical question by the way. Petty crime is a failure of society.

      Guess you know me better than I know myself.

      Imagine thinking humans are rational beings the debate ethics every time they have a feeling. Sometimes you just gotta fuck shit up.
