This, given the reality of food delivery bots in the US as a tech bro drive to kill labor power, is kind of gross.
@ohmu @tomgauld.bsky.social I mean, they're talking about how rover technology was meant for scientific exploration and it's getting used for food delivery instead, so I think it's still about the alienation of labor under capitalism

I should have written that with less of an edge. I apologize.

anthropomorphic bots seems very 'star trek next generation' these days.

IOW, the 90s are long gone, along with it's aura of blissful innocence.

@tomgauld.bsky.social I miss the time when I could lovingly anthropomorphize a robot. A bunch of money and power obsessed psychopaths has ruined that for all of us.

@tomgauld.bsky.social I can never look at a starship robot on the street again without having this in mind 🙈 @[email protected]
@[email protected] @LordCaramac Nice! I work right near a place where a lot of them stand ready. I’ll think of this comic when I see them.
