AI does the bulk of scheduling and manning for fulfillment centers everywhere at Amazon.
They’re learning from China’s use of ubiquitous surveillance and AI to calculate social credit scores.
Companies like Amazon are why revolutions happen.
At least we still have Lotus Notes where I am.
I despise it.
I really hate to say this but people are a pain in the butt, to employ. I’m one of those guys that design automation.
Robots get sick but they don’t sue you, argue with you, or strike. Many tasks can and should be automated. Many cannot be.
The very real problem modern society has is what to do with all our redundant and non-productive people?
As we see in inner cities just throwing money at them doesn’t work. People need self respect. They need to feel needed.
There will always be bums and thugs, but that is a very small minority.
I don’t have an answer, but it is something all the world has to deal with.
American workers are the new slaves.
They will quit the firings when they start using driverless cars with robot delivery agents to take the packages from the delivery van to the robot recipient.
Yea, I’ve been downsized and let go a couple times. I never had an appeal either.
“It’s been a nice 18 years. Have a good life.”
Local delivery drivers and truckers are not the only ones this sort of automated control is affecting. A majority of low-skill labor is coming under increasing techno-management. It’s not a positive development for the workers involved.
Amazon hasn’t subsisted on my dime for many, many years.
It’s alarming than how evil Amazon is, but not as alarming as how many people willingly submit and use them.
What the elites want is to live on New Zealand and run the world from their through AI. We will have no say in anything, if they get their way.
az valley is notorius for map features saying to take a route that the road is walled off ot otherwise dead ended between complexes. have to go out of your way and waste more time to re-route to where you wanted to end up.
stop feeding the beast.
I dont understand why anyone would voluntarily work at a concentration camp.
Alexa: “Hope you’re having a nice weekend. By the way, I can tell you your current employment status - you’re fired.”
I probably got someone fired last week. I have the Key delivery, which means that they put things in my garage. I was expecting a delivery on Saturday, and at about noon I got a notification that my garage door had opened. Three hours later, I got home and the garage was wide open. Not only that, but there were no packages inside. I went looking for the packages and found them on the front porch. So, not only did the driver open my garage and leave it open, but he didn’t even put the packages there. (and yes, I know it was Amazon that opened the garage because my Chamberlain garage app tells me it was opened by Amazon Key delivery)
I called to complain. I hope they used it for training and didn’t fire the guy.
An app also is used on the warehouse floors to fire people when they fall behind their package picking quotas. Evil. Software companies are starting to create software the same way, the app is the boss. Disgusting really.

Amazon is evil. If you have a prime account, terminate it when it’s time for you to renew it.
