    Amazon is putting in them cool Walk in and Walk out with all your needs


    Next time you get attitude from a cashier, politely remind them what Lyft and Uber did to Taxi driver jobs.

    of course Waymo is gonna take away Uber, Lyft and Taxi driver jobs very soon. in the next 5 years or so. the first driverless cars without backup people are going online in San Francisco soon.

    They're not ridding Jobs totally yet. They still use people to guard to make sure nothing rejects and still have to fill food isles and make food or package foods in the back area of the stores. less contact with humans on human. that's their goal. to seperate all human contact.

    maybe that's why violent crimes are on the decrease.. no one is pestering the next? that's no way to live, My children. It's AI anarchy against humanity my children. You know what to do.. THE FIGHT IS NOW! just count me out. I'm a humble pacifist er summthing

    This is becoming a trend - new businesses are not having to play by the same rules as existing businesses and as such are able to absolutely dominate entire industries. Isn't this the complete opposite of the 'free market' mindset that most people in the US are all in for?

    They'll constantly complain about 'socialism' and 'communism' and villify any government-backed initiative as such, but have no problem with the taxi industry being demolished because companies like Uber don't have to adhere to the same standards and industry certification that old-taxis do, or Amazon being able to offer everything cheaper because they quite literally pay negative tax.

    Isn't that the very definition of government interference in the free market?

    To be honest, working retail kinda sucks anyway.

    Isn't it a better solution to start teaching kids more high tech skills so we can at least prepare for the inevitable obsolescence of certain job categories in the generations that follow?

    most jobs are already redundant and could be mechanized without the fabled AI; it's only a matter of time before there are more people than jobs that need to be done... And even then the jobs that can't be done by AI or machinery will be well above the capability of most people.

    I think it's clearly utilizing any loopholes it possibly can to profiteer.

    Union organizers will be very busy trying to convert all employees to join. but their Jobs will be threaten if they try. Amazon will laugh and just say "we will replace your service with more AI.. get back to work, Slave"

    or something like this. The Unions are to blame with all of that Nepotism they promised to rid. Some legal person will point out that they ran the Unions corrupt. deflating any true power the Unions could of have. it's like the Taxi Drivers, you get attitude and not show up for an hour or not at all.. you lose out to the next new thing and you have no one to blame but yourself" is what they'll say.. only with Unions "You let your cousin vinnie and roberto and peadar and bobby and so on and on.. you are too corrupted to call it a real Union of the people."

    But if nobody has to work, then wouldn't that be better?

    I mean, assuming at least that consumerism is virtually eliminated as well...

    If all essential needs are met via automated delivery of amenities and services, maybe we can actually live in a world that requires nobody to work, but we all stay housed, fed, entertained, socialized, etc...?

    Okay I know I'm talking communism essentially (not necessarily of the "Gay Space" variety, though)...

    But it's not as foolish or futile of an idea anymore, assuming technology is applied in just the right ways.

    Old school Marxism is outdated as fuck, but some kind of "techno-communism" could (read: COULD) potentially work.

    I used to work at this sushi place temporarily back in december. they don't accept cash the customers don't even have to talk to your dumbass to order food, they do it on a kiosk that scans your face print. So next time you come in you don't have to swipe your card and it will also automatically pull up the last several meals you've had so you can just click like 2 buttons and you're set.

    in the future with the help of AOC we will have a universal income because automation will take a lot of jobs, but it would create chaos. so universal income will have to be implemented to keep society together. And if you wanted to still have a job for some extra coin, you'd have to be crafty, like write poetry, swing your ass around a brass pole, or be a gigolo.

    but the guy in the video is the owner/boss of malibu poke where i worked and he was a complete asshole. All my guy co-workers were good people but they were from dallas and all wore diamond earrings and talked about football constantly and post malone. I just didn't fit in.

    yeah but "politely reminding them" that their job isn't going to be around would be all the more reason to have an attitude with your passive aggressive attitude.

    Sure automation will be "the wavve of the future" but some people will still want to go to your neighborhood friendly Bill Krozbydawg stand get a taste of real austin rattitude and atmostphere. thinking about putting a shoe shine booth next to the stand just to give it a more old timey feeling.

    you're prolly right. maybe even hookers might start losing their jobs to sex robots and blow job machines.

    High tech skills are easy to replace with robots too, Need to teach people how to be electricians, plumbers, mechanics etc.

    It'll be a few years before you have a robot plumber showing his ass crack under your kitchen sink .
