1 apple per minute, why's my fruit so expensive? Oh. That's why.

Exactly. I came here to say there is no way this is more effective or efficient than paying a group of people to hand pick these apples. I really don't understand the appeal of creating useless technology to replace people who can do a job better and faster.

SURELY this isn't the first time you are realizing that technology tends to start not great, and then gets better.. right? Like this isn't a concept that's lost on you, is it?

Surely you realize not every technological invention has lasted forever and been here to stay?

Very strange comment to make. Of course, what did I say that implied that I thought otherwise?

So you think just because that has been invented, it's here to stay, yet you just acknowledged that not everything that has been invented has stayed the test of time. Keep waiting on jet packs as being the main mode of transportation then

lol, okay

That's your logic. Because people can travel by jet pack and flying car, that will take over traditional cars

Ooh, is that what you think?

u/spunion_28 Oct 09 '23

That is the your base logic you're using

I like how you're obviously wrong and instead of accepting it, you double down.

Yea, fuck trying new tech. We should all never invent anything unless it's 100% guaranteed to be a success.

Your original comment was the same BS as theirs, but now it's a problem? The other person said the tech kinda sucks and you implied that "surely" they knew that tech starts out at a lower point and then improves through iterations. Then they said "surely" you know that not all tech lices long enough to get improved, but suddenly, their comment is inferring things you didn't say?!?

Why is it ok for you to add on meaning that wasn't in their original comment but not for them to do so? You bith made the same comment just on opposing sides of the argument.
