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

Decide I can afford it is more accurate.

Yeah. They need to slow their roll. They can’t even execute on “give me exactly what I ask for when I ask for it” so how the fuck do they think they’re on some Minority Report shit for Chipotle? And they sure as fuck are nowhere near doing that without exploiting and ripping off everyone else involved.

Probably because they figured it was more profitable that way. Maybe they prioritized more premium customers

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

I bought an ebike online recently and it was 4 days late being delivered. Every day FedEx said it was on the truck for delivery, then every day, the delivery window shifted, before finally getting pushed back to the next day (after their call center was closed).
I finally went outside while the truck was stopped at my house and the driver was rummaging around looking for my package. He poked his head out after I caught his attention and after am explanation, he asked what the package was. When I told him it was an ebike, he gave me a look of understanding and told me they probably couldn’t fit it on his over packed truck, so they left it at the depot but didn’t mark it in the app.
I wound up just going to the depot and getting it myself.

I say that to commiserate - it seems companies are squeezing their workers to (and beyond) the limit where they can successfully carry out their work.

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.

Like the problem that the general public don't believe them, and assume the performance of public accessible chat bots is representative of closed door capabilities, and dismiss the true danger in favor of instead hyperfixating on the same concerning attributes shared by every single piece of Internet-based technology, including Lemmy.

It's kinda shocking that people can't seem to detect pretty obvious satire.

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.

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.

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

Burrito inflation has gotten out of hand. Double guac would be another $4 on top of a $14 burrito here.
