I bet within 10 years Robots will be in most warehouses. You may have 1 or two employees watching the bots.

I have read places like NYC want to tax robots so their use is not less than wages.

Even if it is tge same cost, robots are still less trouble. They don’t take sick days, waste company time, go postal, etc.

[Doogle]

....and they don’t spit on your burger..

Go to a warehouse handling bulk frozen food, like strawberries, and the labor is handled by robots.

The large greenhouse growing tomatoes has a robot pulling a cart and it follows the cable buried in the concrete.

The future is in robot maintenance and electro-mechanical do-dads.

"They don’t take sick days, waste company time, go postal, etc."

Not sure we know about the 'go postal' thing yet..

[Maine Mariner]

“I Robot” was about going postal.

[Old Yeller]

Any chance the robots can take over the repetive work done by congress?

[knarf]

Just sitting here doing a shitload of typing and the daily dose of hidden object gaming to keep my mind from being totally numbed requires a certain due diligence that a robot would probably not pick up on.

I can sense when something is wrong and look for the cause and erase it (anti-virus, malware, etc.)

Robotics is pretty cool, but they can't lube and repair themselves, nor re-set their tooling for next years' model.

[billorites]

Within 10 years Dems will give robots the vote.

[FrankR]

If a factory “hires” robots, to make new robots, do those robots then get “maternity leave”?

Just askin’

Unless they are moving the exact same size objects that are the exact same weight you are fighting a losing battle. Each robot needs at least a 2 man Maint. crew. People been watchin way to much SiFi Crap. Maybe in 50 or 100 years Ok.

[Bitman]

Dont know if we could ever create a robot that dumb.

OTOH, there is work proceeding on AI systems that will be on the Board Of Directors of major companies. Also, many B an C level manager positions might be going away too.

“I have read places like NYC want to tax robots so their use is not less than wages.”

I have long suspected the day would arrive when the same libs that gave us the minimum wage would make it illegal for businesses to lay off employees.

And I suspect they’ll be sticking their regulating noses into this kind of automation as well.

[antidemoncrat]

I wouldn’t be surprised if the robots don’t start a SJR movement.

[cdcdawg]

What are we going to do with these millions of illegals in a few years? Those low end jobs will be the first to be automated. Are they all going to learn to code?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I hope RoosterBot is keeping track of his rump and tail feathers. He's awfully close to bumping them into fragile things.

[central_va]

I am sure Free Traitors™ will make sure the robots are imported.

True. But bots can be watched from the home office 3,000 miles away and besides repair robots will automatically fix robots that break down... and robots in the home office can do the 'watching' anyhow... and and and...
