Reply to comment by moobycow in A McDonald’s location has opened in White Settlement, TX, that is almost entirely automated. Since it opened in December 2022, public opinion is mixed. Many are excited but many others are concerned about the impact this could have on millions of low-wage service workers. by Callitaloss
It’s more than that. The food is delivered to the window automated too. It’s a significant change. Imagine this being implemented on a global scale.
They place the food on a conveyor belt.
You didn’t watch the video.
Sure I did. The food is on a belt in a bag. How do you think that bag of food got to the belt?
Lol what is it you think I’m not getting here? You think I don’t comprehend the food is being made by people in a kitchen? My fucking point is you’re downplaying the automated nature of the entire system as “just a conveyor belt”. You’re so fucking stupid my god, I hate this dumb fucking site.
What fucking huge leap in automation do you think a belt that moves food from one person to another is?
Do you think it just moves non-stop with no notion of which order goes to which customer? Did you see the FUCKING ROBOT for when you’re INSIDE THE RESTAURANT? You clearly didn’t bother watching the fucking video, and want to weirdly downplay it for some bizarre incomprehensible fucking reason, shut the fuck up, idiot.
You are fucking moron. It just goes to the next person in line. Or. If it's super fancy it has a number for the slot where they place the food that corresponds to a person.
Wait until you learn about the pneumatic tubes in NYC that delivered mail a century ago.
You're just pissed off Moobys doesn't have this technology. Not a surprise you're hating on McDonald's. You're afraid you're going to be out of a job.
Although I do give you that the Moobynet was very innovative.
>ignores everything I said
Yeah, such a moron bruh. You’re brain damaged.
Look, it got heated, but I very honestly do not understand what you think this conveyor belt delivery system is doing that couldn't have been done a decade, or more, ago. This is not singularity tech, it is basic assembly line automation that has been available for a very long time. Put item here, then it goes there is not new.
So instead of continually pointing out that they put things on a delivery mechanism and yelling at me how I am stupid for not seeing how that changes the world, explain to me how that is new tech instead of tech that has been available forever, but McDs decided to try out.
Edit: and, yes, a robot. Which is also not really new tech. Fun and cool, but Japan & China had similar silly butler robots a long while back, I think around 2015 or so.
Second edit, found a link: https://fortune.com/2015/07/06/robots-china/amp/
Where did I even say it was “singularity tech” lol. Still ignoring what I said too. Ignoring and putting words in my mouth. You just kept weird describing it as “a conveyor belt”. Fuck off. Fucking Reddit midwits honestly.
"Look at the video while I say nothing about why I think it is an important new tech" is not a fucking point that says anything.
I hope someday you learn how to communicate thoughts via writing, it's a useful skill.
And it's a singularity subreddit, so if the tech is not relevant to that why is it blowing your small atrophied mind?
