  I think its a satire on AI company people saying we’re close to a technological singularity, given the “we’re asking for a pause” is a phrase commonly associated with that

  They’re likely saying that data collection/analysis on customer’s eating habits is getting to the point that they can almost predict when you’ll be hungry, and the next step is to deliver food to you before you even order it.

  If you order a burrito at 11:30 every day, their goal is to have a burrito delivered to your door at 11:30 every day, without you even ordering it.

  Which honestly, is kind of terrifying. I don’t want a company knowing my habits so well that they predict what I want and then order it without my consent.

    And are they going to be charging you for it without your consent?

    What happens when you’re taking a vacation for a week? You’ll come home to find 7 cold, decomposing burritos on your doorstep and $300 deducted from your bank account.

  I saw it a second time and think that they're forecasting your decision, so they deliver the burrito before you realize that you want one.
