Is anyone else thinking this will be used by Amazon as a reason when they remove humans from their distro centers in favor of full AI robotics? I can see it now “we are doing this for the safety of our employees.” as they fire 99% of said employees.
No? Just me and my crackpot conspiracy thoughts? Ok.
Wouldn’t it be good to automate those jobs? They reportedly treat those workers terribly, so if they’re automated they’re not abusing people anymore.
Distribution centers make sense to be entirely automated tbh. No need to have humans doing menial work moving packages around when a robot can do the same thing. These are the jobs we all wanted automated so people didn’t have to do them.
Now it’s be terrible for all the workers who rely on those jobs, but as the average tenure is nearly under a year, I’d guess that in 5 years there’d be no issue

Having had worked one of these jobs, I am all for automating this one. It is hell on your body.
