Humans Need Not Apply

This video made me reassess the robotic future we are creating. It also makes me want to invest in Amazon now. LOL.

I can see where governments will need to start taxing corporations and get rid of the income tax in favor of an "electric tax"..... or something equivalent. A sort of consumption tax.

Thank you Mandy for telling me about this video.

In the future will we all live in the United States of Amazon?

buy stock in Amazon if you want to own the government of the future. ;-)

Or will Amazon create the next greatest social media by buying Twitter and calling it Amasocial? (name is now copyrighted Amazon)

So we need to be thinking....  the only caveat I can see in this "The economy always wins and workers always loose,"is that people will still need to buy the products to keep the need for the robots.  That will buy some time...until the computers no longer need humans... then humans will have to look back and realize our own greed caused it to happen.  Perhaps it will be too late to save our existence.

@Marra McDonald Johnson ... I see you went straight to "Terminator" ;-)

 

I was also thinking that  is why governments will have to tax corporations with all these robots so as to pay citizens to be able to purchase the goods. Talk about a position of ultimate control!

It's good to be King!

Wally and War Games were the first two movies that came to my mind.

Handle is a mobile manipulation robot designed for logistics. Handle autonomously performs mixed SKU pallet building and depalletizing after initialization and localizing against the pallets. The on-board vision system on Handle tracks the marked pallets for navigation and finds individual boxes for grasping and placing. When Handle places a boxes onto a pallet, it uses force control to nestle each box up against its neighbors. The boxes used in the video weigh about 5 Kg (11 lbs), but the robot is designed to handle boxes up to (15 Kg) (33 lb). This version of Handle works with pallets that are 1.2 m deep and 1.7 m tall (48 inches deep and 68 inches tall).
