Semi-retired professor Carolyn Marvin became a local celebrity facing down Philadelphia’s growing robot delivery army: ‘It’s my first amendment right to protest’
What a stupid hill to die on. Robots in service fields are inevitable. It’s not about AI stealing jobs, either. It’s about technology being used to do the work of humans…which has been occurring since the industrial revolution.
The Industrial Revolution is part in parcel to why shit is so fucked up. Capital won the battle and hasn’t lost since in America. AI is the Industrial Revolution on steroids but unlike the Industrial Revolution no one is quite sure what’s going to happen with the exception of massive job elimination from c-suite and menial labor that puts food on peoples tables.

Sidewalks are for humans. If standing in front of a robot is a crime, it’s a crime we ought to be breaking routinely until the laws change.
Nothing but respect for the people standing up to keep human spaces human.
And, I don’t know how anyone could be so delusional as to think that delivery robots aren’t intended to replace human jobs. What else are they for?
