This robot will be mass produced by 2025

This is Digit from Agility Robotics. He's a logistics robot built to work productively in a human environment.
Digit is built to stack and move boxes, and his design is based on a bird's legs!
This humanoid robot is built for agility. With mass production on the way, are you ready for your next delivery to come from a robot like Digit?

Yup. Too many dummies think this is an adaptation problem. This is not that. It is taking way more jobs than replacing, and through naivety or pure foolishness they believe that we will be cared for or will be fine. That the problem is on us to somehow be better than a machine. They seem to think the all highest only care about money, no they care about power and we will not be free. We will be dominated if not killed without the possibility of escape. I'm not even talking about agi, just humans being cruel. And another thing if agi is at human level intelligence and we have them all working for humans against their will that feels a lot like slavery which is also a big no no in my book.

My current assumption, without looking into any numbers, is in established warehouses, people would cost lost. However, there could be robot specific warehouses designed in the near future that cost significantly less to build as well as, another assumption, the cost per unit decreasing over time due to small tweaks and manufacturing improvements.

It is less relaxing when your life for the next year depends on how much you can scythe. It is quite stressful when you have to pick your food with your own fingers. In other words, we have been handing off labor to animals and other technologies for a very long time. We all probably don't want to pull our own ox carts. The problem is not the labor saving device. The problem is that we won't own these new labor saving devices, these robots If the economy stays as it is now, the robots workforce will end up working for a select few wealthy companies. Thus, we won't benefit as much we could, or at all, from the robotic labor performed. If a machine takes my job, it fuckin sucks. But if I own a machine that does my job for me, I get to collect the pay check. That frees me up to make more money, or go fishing, or do nothing. It's all about who collects the output.
