Amazon Plans to Replace 500,000 People With Robots

What do you mean out the kitchen? You ever heard of cordless phones? Or having a phone in the same area? I know a few people that own pizza shops and the phone is in the same room.. There's no leaving the kitchen.. You act like they cooking pizza.. Its throw in the big ass oven that's it, you act like they turning off stoves and shit to answer the phone.. Hell you ever heard of earbuds?.. You talking about accepting tech but acting like dudes is using rotary phones to answer the phone.. Also lots of places had their own car and the driver just used it so no wear and tear on their own vechile.. Working for door dash is not working for a pizza shop.. They now have to compete with hundreds maybe even thousands of drivers and in most states not getting hourly pay, sometimes for $3 deliveries driving miles back and forth to unfamiliar restaurants.. At the pizza shop you work for one spot, get paid hourly + get tips... Hell I remember yrs ago places like dominoes and papa johns were hiring for 13+ an HR for deliveries and most of the deliveries were just within a few miles.. So they didn't have to go far, sometimes just up the block and they got tipped.. Some of these dudes were doing 5 or more deliveries within the HR getting tipped at least $5 per delivery.. So do the math $25 or more in tips + 13+ an HR on the clock.. That's like 38 an HR delivering for the pizza place.. This was back in like 2010.. Lot of foreigners were doing those jobs getting paid 38+ an HR delivering pizza on bikes mostly.. See how not having automation had reg people making money

I used to drive for a pizza shop back in the day. DoorDash paid m
I remember seeing in a thread that OP said he does/did doordash..... I think he's arguing so hard ccause he got skin in the game ... :yes:


.

I quit delivering food 3 years ago. Make more money DJing now.
ore than twice as much.

You dj what if people felt like that was a meaningless job and started using tablets with pre recorded sets instead of DJs would you be happy with automation? I remember you was going on a long rant when I told you I didn't use djs and used dj Amazon tablet.. told you how I saved money just by having my own music and playing it for the crowd and nobody cared or complained cause people were there for the booty and they liked the music.. automation and ai could take your job to would you be happy with that
 
So the solution is the scale back automation so people in our shit hole country can keep being underpaid at meaningless jobs?

Perhaps we should switch from cars to horse and buggy so people can make minimum wage shoveling manure too.
How are they meaningless jobs if some people are paying bills, rent, feeding their kids, staying afloat.. some states people are getting paid 20+ an hr as cashiers.. you know some people making 30 an hr at Costco right? Imagine a teen or early 20 person making that much.. you could pay for a lot of things, flip it, even start a bizz.. lot of people need start up cash since America ain't just throwing loans out there and well this is 1 way how you get it.. if you have other people in your circle with same idea now you have joint income coming in from these so called meaningless jobs.. many immigrants who own bizz use these jobs to fund their bizz by saving.. but hey you rather automation wiping it out
 
Grocery stores have had self checkout for over 20 years, but all of them still have cashiers. Some are even getting rid of self checkout due to shoplifting.
Not all grocery stores have them, in fact many don't as far as smaller chains..like I said if all stores went the route like 5 below where there is zero cashiers would you be happy that hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs due to automation? It's about getting rid of all jobs like you bodly was proud of that Amazon plan on doing to hundreds of thousands of people
 
Blacks did not lose the earth by accident. And it was no accident that Jesus proved himself right and superior but we got to live by what whites say and white supremacy because they beat him worst than a slave and killed him and we have to accept it. They are rich and powerful because of murder and deceit not because they are more civilized.
We will turn this bullshit around. It is our only real chance at real freedom and life.

I complained because I've seen first hand how much better a DJ can rock a strip club than an automated playlist. That's half the point.

Automated music systems have been common since the 1980s. They've run on algorithms since Pandora came out in 2005. 20 years later DJ's still haven't been replaced by robots.

On top of that, for every working DJ there's at least 10 to 20 more who aspire to be in that profession.

Can you say the same for cashiers?

So the tech has been out for 20 years and most stores still don't have them. So there is no world in which these automated kiosks will replace all cashiers. At least not all at once.

I'm an immigrant who owns a business, but you're going to tell me how it is for immigrant business owners? Okay, carry on..
 
I don’t care. The humans race is overly saturated with idiots. If the man tells you he plans to fire hundreds of thousands of you (basically, fuck you we don’t need you) and you STILL spend your money there, you deserve whatever misery comes from it. If millions of people can’t get jobs or lose theirs working for these corporations, most will still shop there and they know it. If they fully automated a grocery store and you shop there, you’re a part of it. Fuck and fast food joint with no employees. Why not go to a mom and pop place? The world is what it is because too many (most humans) are stupid.
 

Tech companies are always doing this kind of research to get more money from investors.

At best the tech works and everyone gets paid.

At worst, the tech fails and the company makes a bigger, more audacious claim to get more funding.

Reality is, a remote Walmart or Amazon facility specifically designed for drones can make deliveries in limited suburban areas.

However, most restaurants are not designed for drones. Facilities that can handle it are often on city streets that can't. Not only is it a huge public safety issue, but a lot of cities, like Washington DC, restrict their air spaces to protect sensitive government facilities.

Then there's cost. A single delivery drone costs nearly $20,000. You would need several to replace each driver in case one needs repair, charging, etc.

You are way off topic from the incorrect door dash post you made.

You are a singular independent contractor.. Your story might not be the same as others especially individuals who came over here with nothing and aren't from Canada but completely different continents where it was much harder to get here and had much harsher conditions in their country

I know a bunch of Yemen cashiers who send money back to their countries that feed their families that literally have nothing and has been under attack for yrssss... That cashier job literally keeps their family alive from food to shelter.. So they do aspire to have jobs in America and working the cashier is one of the most convenient 1s to help save their family... So while you look down on it there's literally thousands of people outside the us that actually survive off of cashier money that's being sent to them.. But as a Canadian immigrant you don't know about some of the other worlds problem

You can't tell me the crap you are typing makes sense when you read it. Automation is mostly about corporate greed. They would rather get rid of employees and secure the profits saved from their salaries by replacing them with machines. While charging the consumers the same and more often more for the products. As a DJ you should be worried because your skill set is one of the easiest to replace with juke boxes or even automated digital DJs.

Automated digital DJs have been around since Pandora launched in 2005. Jukeboxes have been a thing for well over half a century. Maybe I'm not as easy to replace as you think.

Dude literally said pizza shops stop cooking to answer phones.. Like pizza isn't made in the oven.. Like a big turn the oven off to take calls or like nigs can't have a phone on in the same room and use a loud speaker or Bluetooth to make calls.. Dude made it seem like pizza shops only have rotary phones in different rooms and they get distracted and have to slow up operations cause someone putting in an order.. This right here should've told you how serious he was about the convo... This is the same guy that had a whole rant one day when I said I don't hire djs for my stripper events I use an Amazon fire.. This nig acted like some people can't orchestrate 100 hot rnb or rnb rap songs by themselves and play the music.. A room full of ass nobody give a fuck about a DJ talking they want to see broads shake it in their face and pretty much everyone on this board can get songs off some website and play tracks strippers like to girate to.. He didn't like a $30 tablet can do what some nigs charge hundreds a dollars do

Easy fix, if they want to use automation get rid of all their tax breaks and loopholes.

Dude, there's Yemeni immigrants in San Francisco too. So unless you're from Yemen you're not telling me anything new.

That said, ask a million children what they want to be when they grow up and not a single one will say cashier. It's not a career people aspire to, it's a job they take when there's no other options.

A lot of immigrants, including folks from Yemen, have advanced skill sets. Why not advocate for more ways to use them so they so they don't have to come halfway around the world to stand behind a till? Why not advocate for expanded refugee protections or a more time efficient immigration system?

Instead, you'd rather advocate companies to shun technology so more people can have underpaid dead-end jobs. That's regressive.

Most people aren't in the career or job they dreamed of doing but they make it work. Just like most people who got degrees aren't doing the career that the degree is. So its not about the dream its about the reality.. The reality is most peoples first job isn't their career, wasn't the best thing ever, but it was a start.. Its not how you start but how you finish.. You had to do doordash did you aspire to be a delivery guy? Nope but it paid bills and kept a roof over head.. So its a stepping stone.. Its funny how you can have a stepping stone but want to take away other stepping stones to eventual greatness for others.. I know a bunch of people that work for the mta and post office none of these people said they wanted to do that when they grew up yet they made it a career and some are retired or retiring with great pensions
 
It kills me to hear people talking about fighting for jobs like you want to work. Who the fuck wants to work at an Amazon factory. Only a robot. So that being said let the robots do all the work and we can sit on our assess drinking mead dancing and frolicking with bitches. That is what technology is supposed to do for humanity. It's supposed to put us in the position so we DON'T HAVE TO WORK. I want AI to take ALL the jobs. Anything non-creative AI can take it.

We got to get over this idea that we have to work anymore. The only reason we have to work is we live in a society with no safety nets. So if you don't work you die. And the only reason we live like that is so that few people can hoard all the resources. Everybody could have a home, energy, health care education, clothing and basic food. But there wouldn't be any Trillionaires. If ya'll cool with no trillionaires then let's make Universal Basic Income and get started on our utopia.

Its not about "us" its about others.. Some of us don't have selfish mindsets and know the world is bigger than just ourselves.. I've never ate at a soup kitchen but I know why they exist cause there's A demographic of people that need those services in order to live.. So when you get off your high horse some of us understand there's A population of people that can utilize those jobs whether for the time being or for longevity. People who love people never get mad or hate hearing other people making money whether its less than us or more than us.. So hearing people losing a money opportunity doesn't sit right with me

WHAT??
They are plenty of people who love factory and logistics work. You actually think they'll pay employees to sit around and watch machines do the work? Geezus

Are former Blockbuster employees living in tents under a highway? Or did they move on to new jobs when Redbox and streaming took over?

Same thing will happen when most cashiers are replaced by automation.

I dont know what they did..maybe some ate a bullet cause they lost their jobs.. Didn't A bunch of people jump out the window cause they lost their money in the great depression.. They could've just waited it out and got through the hard times like most other Americans did.. When there was recession in 2008 some white people were doing mass suicide , killing their whole families and themselves, couldn't they just waited it out like the rest of america? Its funny how people eat bullets everyday cause of losing their jobs or losing money when they could of simply moved on to a new job like you said, but that's not the reality for everybody

This was today .. Notice even the reporter said bring back cashiers , bring back jobs.. You the only 1 that wants to get rid of more jobs.. What if all DJ jobs became automated what would you do?

 
Lmao at the white guy being a typical white guy talking about get rid of jobs . The arrogance and audacity of these people is part of their stinking DNA. Hey cac as someone in the music business and an ex battle and club DJ. Nobody needs you anymore .

Dj’s are just about gone anyway. A bunch of knob turning faggots with no real skills that let serato blend for them. No scratching no human touch. Just fake asses standing up there while the computer does it all for you. You better start looking for a real job soon. Let’s see how easy it will be for a 40+ year old trying to find a job. Even people with multiple advanced degrees can’t get hired and Chin filet

No, That's a myth. They didn't jump from the windows in any meaningful numbers. And who the hell kills their entire family over a retail job? This is getting silly.

So pizza owners stopping their cooking to answer phones sounded smart? Erasing hundreds of thousands of jobs in a capitalistic society sounds smart?

There were suicides that were linked to the market crash it just might not been from jumping out of windows
Here's A few off of quick searching

I didn't say people killed their family over a retail job I said they killed their family due to the succession of 2008.. You've been moving the goal post the whole thread and somehow you think none of your comments is silly.. Look at the whole room every1 looking at you like you're the one with nothing but wrong statements

Also every retail job ain't the same and some retail jobs pay in the high 5 figs to 6 figs depending on position.. So losing a job making 70- 130,000 or more could cause depression, stress, suicide... I knew people making 60-80,000 A yr at 18 working at circuit city in 98.. Retail job..not all pay the same, especially when some worked off Commission at one point.. But you obviously were naive to that fact.. I know a white chick who was making over 120,000 yr for target at some position, once again retail
