  Then how come every one of my deliveries is cold and an hour later than the app claims it will be?

    Because you didn’t pick it up you lazy bastard.

  Decide you want it

  This implies there is ever a time I do not want a burrito.

    Eating burritos is the only thing that differentiates us from LLMs at this point

      Have you tried vibe coding an app for that (burrito eating)? Then you could add an MPC server and give the poor LLMs a way to eat burritos too.

  Except last time I tried to use Doordash and it took them two hours to finally assign a dasher to get my burrito only for them to message me that it was a food truck and that it was closed… It is a real brick and mortar restaurant that I’ve been to multiple times before. The only thing Doordash is good at is dynamic pricing and increasing the price on the menu based on what they think you will pay.

    Just like any service that was born out of a need and was recognised as a great source of money, its sole purpose now is to extract capital and swiftly put it in the pockets of the already obscenely wealthy.

  Back in the day you got pizza in 30 minutes or less. Now it’s over an hour, it’s cold, and not quite what you ordered.

  Now get offa mah lawn!

  If you deliver a burrito to my door and then tell me to pay for it, and I never asked, there’s going to be a fight.

  I will drive my car through the front wall of DoorDash before I’ll pay them for a burrito I did not order.

    The right approach is “whaaat?! You made me a gift?? Thank you!” takes the burrito and closes the door

      I agree, I’m just saying if I see the bill on my credit card, there will be consequences, and if I can’t resolve it amicably, then I have a car that I’m willing to sacrifice for the cars.

    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.
