Just think of the tax savings if we replaced most of our worthless bureaucrats with these guys. Service at the DMV would improve and public schools without woke human teacher would be good for the kids.
Just wait, there will be a tax on utilizing these “workers”.
Unions won’t let THAT happen,just look at the postal service……
Maybe the robots will package things better than minimum wage millennials. A gallon can of penetrating oil in a plastic bag loose in a large box with no other packing material just doesn’t cut it.
Yeah, I have been having problems with poor shipping too, either things busting through the box and going missing because of not enough packing or items just not packed to begin with, etc.
Amazon isn’t going to replace employees who make 50K a year with robot that work at half speed and cost a million each. You get 20 years out of a human, anyone want to guess how long the warranty on the bipedl box carrying robot is? Or how much you’ll spend to maintain/update/replace them over 20 years?
Amazon bought the robot company and is planning on selling this retard tech to smaller companies staffed with AA managers and buyers who fall for this horseshit because they’re too stupid to do the math.
They spent 3/4 of a billion dollars to buy a company that owns this tech so they could take advantage of it, best guess is that the FedGov will be the top buyer. This is like that brick layer robot I wrote about five years ago that didn’t do anything even though they promised it would replace masons.
It’s nonsense 24/7 with this imaginary future world that is never going to happen before the wheels fall off.
And making it a biped with a “head” on it is so ridiculous it hurts. It’s like the maid in the Jetsons. That was the best design for something to pick up boxes?
Just another ploy to drive wages into the turd world area.
They definitely don’t look ready for primetime, but $50k in salary for a human is just “cash” pay and doesn’t include all the other amenities / expenses. A million $ seems way way high too. Surely they can’t be much more to produce than a modern high tech car as the tech isn’t all that different?
You have to consider that the technology will improve with time. Consider original farm equipment from 100 years ago to now. These robots will eventually far surpass what humans can do, at a much cheaper cost.
Imagine in a few decades if you could buy a couple robots for 10-20k each to assist at a farm. Would it be worth it, if they did the job at low cost and didn’t require much maintenance?
Robots making robots that make robots that make products.
No one will have the money to buy the products made by the robot-making robots that were, in turn, made by robots.
It’s robots all the way down.
Until, that is, either someone realizes that 95% of humanity has become useless eaters, and the top 0.01% start designing and programming the robot made robots to eliminate the 95%, OR until the robots and AI become self aware and a combination of several dystopian sci fi movies unfolds in real life.
Fun times 🤩
UBI here we come!

General, just about the time most of the bugs are worked out you may be sure that .gov will step in with new taxes, benefits, or junkyard security assessments. No kidding, but really it’s only a pipe dream because systemic failure coming soon. This particular iteration of civilization has run it’s course.
I don’t share your view of work, the role of humans versus labor saving devices, etc. I think most of our decisions of the past 100 or more years have all been poor ones.
And you’re kidding yourself about maintenance. I replace everything, almost all the time from the simplest devices and parts to the more complex ones. So instead of being the farmer, I am now going to train to be a robot mechanic? and a software engineer? Most modern farmers can no longer even service their own tractors that they own because corporations “own” the proprietary data/tech that allows them to function. And aside from that you can’t predicate your entire argument with the technology will improve with time because that’s clearly not true. When was the last time you called any company larger than a mom and pop shop and actually got customer service? I’d say telephonic communications are one of the oldest technologies businesses use and the improvement of that tool has only lowered the quality of the end user experience. For the first half of my life if you had a problem with anything, from the electric company to the IRS you at least could speak to a human being. Now you spend countless thousands of hours of your life trapped in a kind of phone tree purgatory where every fifteen seconds they tell you how much your busness means to them while they treat you like a nusiance at best.
So no, I don’t think you have a very honest or realistic appraisal of the future and how it will work/not work for the betterment of humans.
YMMV
HSF, you forgot the recording that makes laugh out loud and that is “We are experiencing higher than expected phone traffic” Does not matter when you call, you will always get that same message which means they need to hire more people, because the volume of calls is overwhelming their workforce.
Umm, General Sir, take a look around you, how much do YOU thing all that “obsolete farm equipment” has cost our society?
LOL, L.
Edit; I’d would have said ‘peace’ but I think it’d be lost on a military man!
Agree, HSF. The robots are scare workers. Don’t ask for too much money or we’ll replace you all with robots. There will be increased automation, but not with humanoid robots.
HSF,
that was Rosie the robot” and she was the ‘most ut’! She was kinda hot, if you like thick robots…
Peace, L.
Robot picking can work, but in environments adapted to their capacities. In time they might emulate human capacities, but to converge on that result expectations will be lowered for both humans and robots (e.g. more uniform environments, tasks, and products). All this assuming the unlikely continuation of cheap, ubiquitous electricity.
No shit. At the speed that thing was working, an itchy line manager would be checking the inner screamer to hurry the fck up.
Anything’s gotta be better than the stupid nigs that work for them around here. And I hope all those robots spend their money to support the Jews and the spicks and the communists .
The war has already begun but seems to be growing/skynet next!
Now we’ll need robots to replace discotheque patrons.

EXCERPT:
Brady said the robots would “eliminate all the menial, the mundane and the repetitive” tasks, claiming it “does not” mean Amazon will require fewer staff.
Sure.
The replaced workers will do . . . what? Now that they’re “freed up” . . .
EXCERPT:
Amazon is testing six-foot-tall warehouse robots to “free up” their human workers and cut costs as the company moves further towards complete automation of its workforce.
Depop.
Depop.
Depop.
They sure look speedy.
Can’t wait for the ‘Amazon warehouse robots got hacked, death toll still climbing’ headlines, a few years from now.
cybercoronavirus
Seriously, Mississippi State has developed a robotic cotton picker. Our Ag Skool is heavily into AI Robotics.
Systemic racism, period.
Damn… about 400 years too late.
Was the goal to make something even slower than someone who’d been kicked in the head by a mule?
If so, congratulations, you’ve done it!
Amazon already has 750,000 robots
How much did that bot cost Amazon? Ya know, a army of those “tin man” bot workers will cost a f’n fortune. It is possible that a few years down the road human warehouse workers will either be dead or dying from devastated immune systems thanks to the clot shots. Which begs the question, will there be very many customers left for Amazon to ship packages to?
Sarah Connor? killer robots from silicone valley!
It’s really incredible how people that want to SELL you things….hate you!,they don’t want your knowledge,skill they don’t want to pay you particularly if you have an opinion for that matter!!…..
Where are all the maintenance bots?
I am of the opinion, and it is only mine, That they should pay tax like those who they replace. It could be done.
This is why I do not use self check outs. If they paid me for my labour to do the self check out, That would be taxable income. How come machines get a free pass in society. Without Taxes Isreal and Ukraine would both have to work
