Amazon's humanoid warehouse robots will eventually cost only $3 per hour to operate. That won't calm workers' fears of being replaced.::The robot's human-like shape is bound to reignite workers' fears of being replaced, but Amazon says they're designed to "work collaboratively."

People bitch about working conditions and the actual work in these warehouses yet don’t want to be replaced by a robot who doesn’t care about any of that? Yeah, no. I’m all for robots doing this kind of soul sucking work.

No one is complaining about working conditions for the sake of it. There's literally nowhere else to go for them. You are not helping anyone but the rich fucks by having them replaced by robots.

BS. I live in a town with an Amazon warehouse. There’s PLENTY of places for them to go. Hell, I’m hiring.
