Agility Robotics HUGE LEAP! Amazon to Replace the Average Warehouse Worker By 2030!

This one's an interesting one. We go into Amazon's latest move to implement humanoid robots into their workforce. Now, you can probably imagine the way companies around the world with large lots of employees feel at the prospect of AI taking over jobs; they're salivating at the mouth. Although efforts like these have been in the making for some time to get rid of the 'dangerous' jobs no one wants to do, we both know it's to save companies money, and that's what we get into here with Amazon. There are over 1 million warehouse positions that Amazon has on payroll alone in the US, if you're one of those positions - it might be time to look for new employment. Let us know your thoughts below after watching!

Do you know a warehouse worker?

[@PeterPanQuails]

Standard of living will only be improved by increasing productivity. The robotic revolution is what makes it possible to achieve that. It also solve the ageing population problem when most of the Gen Z don't want to work in the labour industry. So government doesn't have to rely on importing migrants from third world countries to provide the workers for the business.

[@josephaviles8289]

Maybe if they paid enough to do slave work gen z wouldn't have a problem with it.

[@TheAIDose]

True. It’ll mean that a majority of the population in these jobs will need to reskill to keep up with the changing job economy.

Imagine a solar storm or emp attack happens and all that tech goes to waste hahahaha man humanity is just setting itself up for disaster alright then im just gonna head out

Yea seriously. Bouta find all the doomsday prepers in my area incase.

@@TheAIDose personally im done . Cous i gut laid off 7 months ago and no one will fucking hire me. The moment i see asphalt as my bed im going to end this cous im not taking that i already had it hard enough

[@TheAIDose]

I’m sorry to hear that. Everyone looks to get ahead and it’s unbearable when you continue to get knocked down without a promise you can get back up so you can excel. I have a friend that’s fresh out of college that’s been looking for a job for the same amount of time as you with no luck. All I can say is look towards what will be around in years from now, get someone to survive off of now, then reskill towards that. What job did you have before?

@@TheAIDose i was working at a Walmart but im proficient on electronics i have a certificate for it but no place to use it. at some point i was going to start to build pc's and sell them a long with repair services but well 🙂.... Its kinda funny cous i managed to make a pc that can run ai locally right before i got fired and now im just sitting here... I use it every day but i don't know what to do anymore.i do the same thing every day ironically tho yesterday was weird cous the house toilet broke turning my place into a water park... Thankfully it wasn't feces flowing but i had to replace the toilet. It was my first time doing something like that as i don't mess with plumbing a lot im surprised i only made one easily correctable mistake

[@AleksandrVasilenko93]

At $250,000 it is a bit too expensive, but of course the price will come down. I believe at $100,000 a piece it is a no brainer to have thousands of these.

[@TheAIDose]

If one bot does what 2 employees can do you start to break even very quickly accounting for benefits, paid time off, grants, etc.

[@MetallicReg]

It works day and night. It can handle work of 3-4 people. So it is already a net benefit after a year.

[@fe7kh]

Its a no brainer to boycott amazon. This is like using Uber, who steals from their employees and intends to also phase them out thru tech. You can choose a mom and pop brick and mortar store, or you can choose a monopoly.

[@AleksandrVasilenko93]

@@fe7kh Why would I intentionally pay more?

[@fe7kh]

@@AleksandrVasilenko93 why would you pay for your submission? Help A global monopoly evolve or help competitors. Your simplicity is a cancer. You have zero strategy and zero strength.

[@romzeek]

What if people themselves built robots - hear me out: what if, you would compete with companies with open source hardware? It takes corporations lots of money to do R&D, but simple people can just get together and build their own machines - and thereby compete with companies.

[@TheAIDose]

You’re right. Open source has completely changed the world. It’s part of why crypto was so revolutionary and lots of open source tech & software is shaping AI, coding, and robots of today. It’s happening we’re looking to tell the stories of companies like that soon, sub to see when those videos drop!

[@techrvl9406]

This happened SO fast... Andrew Yang was right, for sure. The takeover is definitely real. I work as a kind of "Jack of All Trades". Most of the things I would have done for money are being pushed out by AI and automation. Things like graphic design, content generation in general is already saturated. Creating websites, fact-finding and even things like Business Process Modeling is AI driven, now. It's not only labor jobs that are being replaced in real-time... Literally everything that isn't somehow related to AI will eventually become replaced by AI.

[@Mephitinae]

Great. Getting rid of "labor" altogether should be society's goal. Why waste everyone's life when machines can do nearly everything? "b-buh, what about teh economy?" F the economy. Money isn't real, it's just a tool for the elite to gatekeep privileges. "b-but, how will people eat?" They will just walk out of the supermarket without paying their groceries, and I will be among them. Governments will just have to figure it out. It's already happening.

[@TheAIDose]

That’s exactly where universal basic income originates from. Governments needed to step in to support societal changes like this.

[@techrvl9406]

@@TheAIDose I believe they (bipartisan) intentionally stymied Yang's political career, cuz his idea of UBI hit too hard. Then, when we had the pandemic, they basically watered down the idea and called it an "economic stimulus"'; after debating and wasting time, that is... Now, only a few years later, we're facing AI taking over jobs, inflation and all kinds of issues that could have been resolved through a UBI program for citizens.

[@MThomasB]

Companies should care more about their workers and not try to work around the need for humans. All for Robots but this will have to usher in something like UBI or new sectors of work need to open up or you will just create a thousand percent more homeless people on the streets.

[@TheAIDose]

A good watch is, “Changing World Powers,” by Ray Daliyo. It explains how difficulties like having high pay can cripple the economy and advancements like these become necessary. If you decide to watch it let us know what you think

[@MThomasB]

@@TheAIDose Thanks mate!

[@DavesArtRoom]

This is a mixed bag. Amazon probably is in violation in many ways with workers and also with undermining capitalism, thus engaging socialist policies by lobbying the government to get privileges over its competitors; the unfair government advantage connection. However, workers in general in the US are lazy. I’ve seen it for many years at my job. So though I do not condone many things companies do to use government privilege, it also is reality that workers and unions use the system too. Many times unions are no different than the companies they negotiate with. We have no US manufacturing base of industry anymore do we? Do US workers abroad, mean we have manufacturing and industry like we used to? Hasn’t China always had slave labor, even when America had its’ own industrial manufacturing and was a power house. America is propped up by the petro dollar, and that is deteriorating. Our economy is artificial due to our deals to protect oil rich counties militarily in return for those countries agreeing to use our dollar in trade transactions. Well, all can see this does not hold forever. BRICS. So now we have no industry to fall back on. American workers are not as good and ambitious as they used to be either.

[@DavesArtRoom]

UBI is not the answer; it will only add to the problem. Why do people want the continued government nanny state. So print up more money out of thin air for UBI? Tax payers expense.

[@hamsterg0d]

Technology takes jobs fallacy.

[@TheAIDose]

With an industry of over 1 million workers in the sector it definitely takes jobs but also adds new ones. Robot maintenance will be big and for the majority of the warehouse workers they’ll need to re-skill for roles more adept for an AI world.

[@hamsterg0d]

@@TheAIDose The savings utilmately loads to lower prices and allocation of money elsewhere creating Jobs there. UBI will only hinder the restructuring.
