Burger-flipping robot begins first shift

[Mike Nasty]

2018 people are really patronizing a burger chain run by smug cacs and a burger flipping robot?

If we get to a point were automation outpaces job creation ( if it isn't already that is), then we should really push for a universal basic income, otherwise the wealth disparity in this country will only be exacerbated, and that's gonna lead to a pretty ill domino effect. An automated future seems like it could be really awesome, or really shytty with no in between.

If your worried about burger flipping robots you got bigger problems

If you’re not at least mildly concerned about this, you’re playing yourself

Amerikkka about a 1000 years away from that broke uneducated cacs would riot if one black person got a penny from the gov from "their" tax money, even though they'd be the one benefiting the most from it

This why I told folks minimum wage going up wouldn't put businesses out to pasture. They already been planning to automate cash outs and other shyt. All that fake crying about how they couldn't stand thru the wage increases when all businesses do is cost cut.

Humans beings are dooming themselves. In a logical world most people wouldn't shop at walmart they would shop at mom and pops and they wouldn't go to businesses that don't employ human beings in the front lines but convenience always wins even when it's at a great cost to society. The ruse is out right in the open but brehs would rather save a couple dollars or keep supporting businesses that don't employ people etc. We defeat ourselves in the end. We don't care about the ethics of business or the idea of the greater good. Societies that don't make anything or have room for unskilled workers will fail. As much as capitalism has been the most successful model for society thus far it still comes with an expiry date like everything else.

The next big thing you're going to see is when RFID tags replace barcodes. Stores in around 3 years time will have those circle pod 24 hour gym style doors where it will open up once it scans your contactless card chip and you'll walk around the store and pick up anything you want and leave as it automatically debits your account. Not enough cash? Won't let you out. Ghetto ass hoodrat who goes in and starts "grazing" off the shelves? HD remote monitored cameras that have already linked your face to your credit card and sent the Feds to your yard waiting for you to return.

shyt is gonna change, real fast and a whole strata of people (no prizes for guessing their hue ) are going to experience disenfranchisement on a level they never even imagined. In that one example thats checkout people, security guards and shelf stackers all taken out of the equation. Multiply that across a nation...

Learn how to lay bricks, plumb pipes, connect wires or program code brehs. There's a war going on outside no man is safe from.

America, and most of the industrialized world, is not ready for automation. Switzerland couldn't even pass UBI last year...we're fukked, given how late the US tends to catch up.

it hasn't affected corporate businesses, which was never the issue. out here, a lot of small businesses, especially food/dining, have gone out of business over the past 3 years due to rising rents, the rising minimum wage AND the fact that people want more than the $12-15 min wage due to the area's high COL. how you gonna be a minimum wage worker then demand more than min wage? anyway, most these spots are sitting vacant, and the ones that have turned over have been occupied by chain businesses. it's a shyt show on both ends.

Take away service jobs disproportionately filled by black and brown people. All by design.

Think the robots can only take low skilled jobs brehs

 

[Family Lives Matter]

You should be, we should be worried about self driving trucks, grocery stores with no employees, self cooking fast food spots, etc. These jobs might not immediately affect you but there will be a huge domino effect and fallout from all of this.

why? people don't exist in a vacuum. burger flippers spend money at other businesses. those businesses will be affected by less people spending money there. then those businesses will have to cut back & it'll have a domino effect.

look how factories shutting down affected midwest cities.

once less jobs are available to people crime will increase & that will becomes everyone's problem as well.

If you’re not at least mildly concerned about this, you’re playing yourself

I'm good enjoy flipping your burgers

the coli is full of luddites. Coli nikkas in the 1800s "they building automatic railroad track layers, it's a wrap for all of us, keep supporting technology"

"they creating cars, it's a wrap for horse drivers shyt is fukked up"

"they creating factories doing all these jobs men used to, industrialization is the end of us family"

In your two examples, the human component wasn't completely replaced. Those advancements helped to facilitate the worker. What's happening now is an effort towards replacing the worker.
