Driverless pizza delivery - Dominos Skynet

[Nice Guy Eddie 13707]

The standby joke is that if you need extra money, go deliver pizzas. New Dominos service in Houston doesn't need you. There will be fewer and fewer jobs available for people as we learn to automate tasks. And without a doubt, certain skills or education skills might face less risk of replacement but there also isn't enough demand for those jobs for everyone to be trained for them.

Pretty sure they can throw a robotic dong on that thing that will make people see Jesus. Whether they will or not is a different discussion.

Well, the value of a Texas Tech degree just took a nosedive. I don't know what those graduates are going to do now.

for an extra dollar, it will drive over your flower bed to deliver it to the porch. They can sling it at the door frisbee style as well.

Is this thing like the old newspaper dispensers where you put in a quarter and take the whole stack?

If you like pizza, don’t order Dominos.

It's almost like the theories of economics do not conform to emotional stupidity promulgated by anti-intellectuals.

Dominos has been broadcasting their intentions for years. "Jobs" and "extra money" won't matter anymore. We'll all be fucking dead.

Cranston is a pro. Probably one.

More info than you ever wanted to know.  FYI, I understand that the owner of that house regularly finds pizzas on their roof.

 

[Nice Guy Eddie 13707]

You have to give Cranston a lot of credit here. You would think a first take would be tossing the entire pizza box onto the roof. You would overdo it. Instead how do you toss it so that the pizza comes out, lands on the roof but the box doesn't. This is up there with parting the Red Sea. There should have been a special Emmy award for this scene.

Fun fact: it only took one take. I think they bought 10 pizzas in preparation for multiple takes but it landed like that on the first take so they had a bunch of leftover pizza.
