If something can mimic you, for decreased cost, you are replaceable

That is how these words work

I was at WalMart a month or two ago and there was a robot rolling down the aisles.

I asked what it was, and it was a robot that scans the shelves, identifies misplaced items, and reorders the items when necessary.

The great replacement is here, I'd expect in the next 5 years that WalMart has implemented these kinds of things everywhere and their staff has gone down over half. You'll be left with people just physically stocking shelves, and at that point you're over half way to the shelves just being moved wholesale, stocked in the back by robots, and rolled back onto the floor.

They cant execute on the tasks



You'll just doxx me ...

People have tried to replace me and the receivers of the replacement freak out

I have a better shot to replace you in the next decade. However., that may be too grandiose

actually we'd just put servos inside of the shelf so it self feeds from the inside and never needs to be restocked.

shelves are like 4 feet thick, all i need is 12 inches to make that work. its just pricey.

ill doxx u if i know your profession? i wouldnt doxx you if i knew ur full social security number and home address....

i had the sniffles for a month
wasn't a big deal
ventilators are for people who were already sick and dying
trump smashed the fake virus like a teen cheerleader on ecstacy

Talking about restocking shelves:
how long until Amazon's warehouses are fully automated too, and all the box slaves are added to the unemployment line?

Even a lot of engineering work hours are gonna be gone.

Over here we're currently working on integrating lots of smarter workflow solutions. Things like parametric designs or automated modeling steps. A lot of calculating work has already disappeared.

Some work will remain (translating customer needs to requirements, making designs pretty etc) but a lot of hours are gonna be gone.



Probably 5-10 years. Atm it's still cheaper to use people. A lot of the work is already automated though, and they can use the bottom of the barrel of employees without much trouble (only danger is theft really).

100%. i went from post-shipment small fix drafter to mechanical designer and project manager by doing just that.

part one was building a library to eliminate the searches for references, part two was making tools for engineering.

our engineers used to have a calculator and dozens of formulas in their heads and search all over the server for stuff. now its all directed through my excel sheets.

our engineering manager said it wasnt needed, so we did a test where he did it old school and a newer engineer did it new school and he was destroyed even tho he drafts faster and has been at the company 20 years.



it could be done today, the only reason they dont is the sheer number of unemployed people and the PR affect it would cause.

but i'd bet my ass they're removing 10-20% of their restockers per year right now. manual packers get replaced by drop packers, certain sectors are being automated now, etc.

edit: and all of those unemployed can blame AOC. amazon moved up its automation big time when she starter her "these arent good jobs" campaign.

I'm one of the best in the world at what I do, and I'm replaceable. You're not a unique snowflake.
