The Bots are coming...
First, Fight the Future...
I'm not advocating
letting the homeless run wild, and in
often cases, where homeless people are involved there, happens to be higher
rates of crime, violence and psychotic episodes. However, if this isn't a
violent circle that hurts everyone involved, I
don't know what is.
Here we have a
non-profit organization with the purpose
to protect and help animals sending out robots to chase humans who need help
and protection themselves. Of course,
this crazy scenario could only take place in San Francisco which is the bastion everything wrong with gentrification
and rent displacement.
Then we have robots running around at the cost of $6hr taking the jobs of human
security guards who make $16hr yeah that's the quickest way to eliminate
homelessness lay more people off.
Even more mysterious are
these bots that are supposed to shoo away the homeless but can read 300 license
plates per minute. Now I know they are a few cases where homeless people have
vehicles but 300 plates per minute I
thought this was about the homeless people.
Speaking of which then
there's the San Francisco SPCA with all
their talk animal welfare they seem to care little about humanity. Now no one
wants to be threatened, harassed or have their place of employment burglarized or vandalized
and I understand that your place of
operation is in Silicon Valley but sans
the talk about worker safety and the well-being of your campus. Again, yes you
are in the Valley but Twitter, Google, Salesforce, etc. you're not. You're a nonprofit,
not a Fortune 500 corporation. I guess we
all have to dream big.
Hopefully, something
good comes out of this such as the homeless people receive the help they need
and deserve. Who knows maybe the SPCA can hire a few of them as actual human
security guards and that may lead to a few less homeless people dragging down the
aesthetic of their "campus."
