I'd be too worried to mess with a food delivery bot as they probably surveil the hell out of everything in its path. You mess with it and you're surveilled even more. Clearview AI has sent your image to the local cops...

But also maybe the robots are better than making humans ride on scooters in bad weather, traffic, etc. for low wages?
Good for you! No cell phone here. And the WFMU boards are just about the only actually social medium there is. Happy here and no need for the surveillance capitalism kind.
