Warehouse jobs are garbage and should be automated. Amazon should also be nationalized. The problem isn’t automation, it is, as always, capitalism.
Will those robots also be their new customers?
The rich get richer. The poor get poorer.
So… there goes Amazon’s argument that they should ever get preferential tax treatment due to all the jobs they supposedly create
What? No silly. They made those arguments and won those cases so they get preferential taxes for the next 300 years. Regardless of the changing needs of the country or the economy.
Don’t forget how many robot manufacturer jobs they’ve just created! They need more tax breaks for that!
MOAR!!!`
They didn’t to promise to create them all at once.
LOL…like they replaced AWS IT with AI last week? How’s that working out?
get rekt, we need more blackouts.
When companies stop employing people en masse to replace them with robots or AI or similar, who will be left with the money to buy their products?
They will cater more and more to each other until they turn inward and start hoarding and rearranging resources into their compartmentalized cocoons while they attempt to transform their empires into launch pads that will let them escape the planet like some sort of fungal spore to infect and consume another world.
They will fail to develop a way to sustain humans off world and will leave behind a polluted hellscape of toxic nonsense and dysfunction.I hope someone still has the resources to pour concrete over the entrances of these billionaire fallout shelters when the front finally falls off the whole yacht.
no worries as the robots are all controlled from aws.
“Will no one rid me of this turbulent aws internet connection?”
They hope to replace customers with robots too.
When all of the jobs are gone, who will have any money to put in Prime orders?
Don’t worry, everyone. 95% of our jobs will be replaced with robots.
And I know what you’re thinking. Yes, the money will rightly be given to the billionaires. See, nothing to worry about. Nothing. So glad Trump is doing nothing but deregulation LLM’s and attacking workers rights.
Those 600,000 workers should quit right fucking now. See how long Amazon lasts before bezos sets all those robots up himself.
I uninstalled my Amazon app a month ago, and I haven’t missed it. It started as an experiment to see if I can live without it. Seems I can.

Well they’re not invested in all of these robotic companies and automation companies because they want to sell the tech to their competitors.
It’s clear that the goal is to have warehouses be more automated, and for deliveries to be handled by things like Zoox.
And honestly, this isn’t just limited to Amazon’s warehouses. All companies that end up with huge warehouse and distribution centers have always been striving to automate as much of the process as possible. Amazon just has the capital to push the tech with in house resources, instead of having to contract it out.
How many workers will they need to maintain, repair and retrieve robots?
Day turk er jawbs!
