    Rhys Darby did a bit somewhat similar to this at a standup. About a Roomba and a Cyber Truck. I don’t remember the specifics. But it was about the Roomba wanting to see the world. He’s very funny, if you ever have the chance to see him live, I highly recommend it.

    shoulda already been a song like that. trucks cost 100k and the repo man casually blends into the sun-kissed darkness of suburbia at 6:30 am without a worry. those legal desperados are usually riding off into the light of day before you can pull your legal carry out of the nightstand.

    if country music wasn’t fake as hell it would have already addressed this.

      Red, White, and Pink Slip Blues pretty much already addresses that.

      I hide the pickup truck
      In Ricky Brown’s garage
      (Over on the next block)
      'Cause there’s a repo man to dodge

      I slip out the back door
      Lord, I never thought I’d live to see this day
      We’re gonna need that truck
      When they come to take the house away

      dunno where you live but nobody driver cybertrucks is taking loans out on them where I live. They buy them in cash and they are all old dudes or young tech bros. there are two on my block, one guy has paisley flowers all over his.

      also three rivian R1s and a couple of Lucid Airs on my block.

    “Somewhere outside’a Sutton,
    Elon pushed a button.
    And my brand-new CyberTruck she drove away.”

      On a morning from a Paul Blart movie
      In a country that’s going back in time.

      You went rolling through that crowd like a, Proud Boy mewling,
      Commiting a crime.

      She drives out of the sun in a silver dressing,
      Rusting through from the touch of rain.

      Don’t bother asking for explanations,
      she’ll refuse refunds all the same

        King Crimson always did weird shit outside of expectations or genres, but this is one of their weirdest:

        It's here I sit and rust amid this ruin and rancor
Like tire irons, toothy grills and car parts before me
The acid rain floods my floorboard
Burns my pores and rots my upholstery
Once I was worshipped, polished magnificently
Now I lay in decay by the dirty angry bay

I'm ready to leave
I wanna be out of here
I'm ready to ride away
I don't wanna die in here
I'm ready to ride

My skin is metallic now, no longer an elegant powder blue
My body unhinged and sleeping in the jungle
Of motor block manifolds and metal relics
What was deluxe becomes debris, I never questioned loyalty
But this dead end demolishes the dreams
Of an open highway

    Can’t apply for a job because the AI interview stage can’t recognize his country accent.

    Can’t afford his car note, his truck leaves him.

    He’s broke, so his blonde waifu AI GF subscription runs out and she leaves him.

    Tries to get drunk, but the delivery app won’t let him buy alcohol.

    Gets rejected trying to get sexy with the Tractor Supply customer service chatbot.

    I’m not sure if this is an AI-based county song, or a plausible Blade Runner sequel.

      You have a great imagination, and a clear writing style.

      We’ll pay you minimum wage to write stories so our AI can usurp actual authors.

        We’ll pay you minimum wage

        Not even: “We’ll pay you, a contractor, a one-time measly sum to create IP for us. No royalties or anything so high and lofty for you, peasant, and certainly no job security.”

        Hey now! I can write this for free and try desperately to get it published so someone else can get paid to let it get ripped for training data.

    I mean if there are songs about horses leaving a guy then it already happened and if there isn’t then there’s no reason to believe it would be any different with autonomous cars.

      One difference: the horse vehicle may run off to the fjords, the truck vehicle may run off to the Ford’s.
