Apparently Amazon is worried they will run out of employees. It seems Bezos is of the opinion people are lazy so he'd rather fire them all, hire new, but it's possible they will run out of people willing to deal with the crap as he burns through so many
I've been seeing quite a bit of this mentality in corporate thinking........ it's better to deal with the constant turn over rather than keep decent people around, earning minor wage increases year after year.
Lately they're even willing to pay the new hires more.
But like McDonalds, I don't see how many Amazon workers don't realize it won't be long before they're replaced by robotic workers.

Believe it or not, not everything can be done by a robot. I wouldn't trust a food joint with robots. I know how people let maintenance slide in the name of saving a buck. You know before long there would be chunks of uncooked burger in the Machine, a month's worth of uncleaned grease...

I believe it.
Do you believe that many humans could be replaced by a robot/machine?

Could? Sure. Should? No.

why No?
If reliable people are getting too tough to find or the machine can simply do a much better job?

Because a machine lacks human ability to notice stuff. Its doing it's little machine thing when crap happens like a weld wasn't properly completed so you die because of it being an important part of your car.

I can't believe with your entire career experience that you don't see much more defective wiring in people
Who do we call about a Recall?

When the robots are doing all of the work, who is going to pay the taxes?
NOW you understand why robots will never take over.

Not completely. It'll likely still be the same Top 10-20% of people paying for everyone else
It's also where the talk will push ever harder for UBI........so that people will be more free than ever to express themselves and be inventive (heroin and meth will likely be ubiquitous at that point)
It'll get truly interesting when space travel gets more plausible.........and that 10% decides to leave

Dude, I worked Probation. A robot couldn't pick up on the crap humans do with My clientele. Because there is redemption, dude. People can change. When they finally dumped the switchboard, the director pushing it said humans will always be faster, provide better service than a "press one for xxx", but the point is saving a buck so screw everyone. I know that doesn't fit your humans suck outlook, but oh, well.
