>Amazon says that the robotics system will provide “support for front-line employees, while creating greater efficiency in less physical space.”
And this „greater efficiency“ is NOT going to lead to job losses? /s

E-commerce giant Amazon has unveiled two new operations technologies, which it claims will work alongside employees to create safer and more efficient workspaces.
It says that the aim of these innovations is to reduce highly repetitive tasks, improve ergonomics, and expand career pathways.
The robotic system, called Blue Jay, is capable of performing multiple tasks at once in the company’s warehouses, as per Amazon.

I’m no Luddite, so more power to Amazon if it innovates ways to take labor from people and move it to machines. That’s kind of the whole point of technology.
Whether people enjoy the fruits of new technology or starve to death from lack of work is a public policy choice. And guess what we chose last election.

I always wonder what’s the end game with AI and Robotics after it displaces most jobs. Who’s gonna be paying for the goods and services?

AI can’t take an order for pizza correctly, yet it can imminently displace 600k jobs?

Between the lines: Amazon is low on cash because of AI investments and leaking this to the press shows it needs more money via investments.

Can’t wait for this to fail like Elon’s ‘fully automatic’ Tesla factories.
