Will those robots also be their new customers?
Warehouse jobs are garbage and should be automated. Amazon should also be nationalized. The problem isn't automation, it is, as always, capitalism.

So... there goes Amazon's argument that they should ever get preferential tax treatment due to all the jobs they supposedly create
replies:
LOL...like they replaced AWS IT with AI last week? How's that working out?
replies:
They hope to replace customers with robots too.
no worries as the robots are all controlled from aws.
replies:
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.
replies:
How many workers will they need to maintain, repair and retrieve robots?
Day turk er jawbs!

I should be cynical about AI and labor displacement, but…
Does anyone actually want to wreck their bodies by walking all over a giant warehouse and lifting heavy unwieldy objects?
Now the robots will do all of that.
We’ll just need some humans to uh… follow them around the warehouse… and move them when they break down. (This is totally different, you see.)
And do the original task that glitched it out. And dodge all of the other robots while doing so. And be paid less because we have robots now.

When all of the jobs are gone, who will have any money to put in Prime orders?
Those 600,000 workers should quit right fucking now. See how long Amazon lasts before bezos sets all those robots up himself.
This makes me SO glad I do not use Amazon.
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.

They talk about some of this stuff here where they present new robot that can "touch" things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X4CU3jmw-g
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.
