Israel is committing genocide. Even AI agrees. Israel meets all 10 stages to genocide which they themselves defined and is outlined on the Holocaust Memorial website. hmd.org.uk/learn-about-th…

@fuelthearmy @MarioNawfal These robots aren’t very smart. None of them have any AI. They can’t work without humans. These robots are always getting in the way too.

@fuelthearmy @MarioNawfal These robots need humans in order to work. Like the example above by OP. I see the PDU in the top right. That’s a power distribution unit. One drive unit is trying to exit maintenance and the other is trying to enter.

Two Amazon robots got stuck in an aisle, spending what appears to be an eternity shuffling back and forth because neither one could figure out who should move first. This is what happens when you forget to teach a $200,000 robot to say "no, after you."

@fuelthearmy @MarioNawfal So from your statement there how many were replaced. Can you replace the 600,000 jobs which currently still don’t exit. I wonder if that’s possible to replace something that doesn’t exist. If you quit your job that’s not being replaced either because they are hiring nobody.

@TheDibsterX Atleast you got a Wawa.

What I paid today for gas in Florida. Unacceptable under Biden. Unacceptable under Trump. #FuckYouTrump

@EvelynMaeWrites @aswright8669191 @Vote4JKendall @RepNancyMace You don’t have to be poor. It all depends on behavior when it comes to finance. I work the same job and saved $100,000 in 4 years.

@aswright8669191 @Vote4JKendall @RepNancyMace You know, there are work requirements for SNAP. Walmart, Amazon and McDonald’s have a large number of employees who are SNAP recipients. If conservative, you’re supporting giving tax breaks to those companies that love to keep their workers poor. The right likes it that way.

Everyone who voted against letting SNAP recipients buy hot rotisserie chicken better also be against using SNAP dollars to buy soda and junk food.

@JGFox_ You got the numbers backwards. Honest mistake.

@JGFox_ That’s incorrect. Amazon seeks to avoid hiring 600,00 by 2030 and seeks to reduce current headcount by 160,000 thru natural attrition like people quitting their jobs and their role not being filled.

Amazon isn’t just using robots — they’re planning to replace over 500,000 jobs with them. Internal docs show they want to automate 75% of operations, avoid hiring 160,000+ workers by 2027, and already have 1 million+ robots running in warehouses. This is happening now in California fulfillment centers and beyond. The humanoid wave (NEO, Optimus, etc.) is next. Work is changing fast. Adapt or get left behind. 🤖📦 What do you think — opportunity or disruption?

@JGFox_ It doesn’t mean we will stop hiring though we will just need to hire less people than before.

@consultingbooks Saving for retirement will become pointless.

@consultingbooks Crazy world we are living in.

The future economy may not reward workers. It may reward owners of machine labor. The question is: how many people become owners? AI Civil War: When Systems Collide Now on Amazon.

@fuelthearmy @MarioNawfal So how many people have been replaced by robots. Bet you can’t find a layoff due to robots.

not only is Amazon quick to replace people with robots, the million man army of workers they use are nearly all from India. There is no business doing more damage to our nation than Amazon... over half of all the items sold are coming from China into Amazon warehouses, sold by Chinese through Amazon, basically directly competing against American businesses. Those in authority have let this go.

@PhantasticPink @gaiafatale Customer privacy is extremely important.

@PhantasticPink @gaiafatale Amazon workers don’t know what’s inside the box when it gets to a delivery station. This is heavily guarded secrets because we don’t want Tom the worker telling the world that Sally the customer ordered a foot long dildo.

had to file a police report because someone stole them 🙃 I’m actually super bummed out about it and it kinda pissed me off bc this isn’t the first time some broke loser stole my shit

@Keith1265565268 @ScottM16A4 @gowthamn384514 Hey @grok since we get 5 minutes of UPT for every hour worked at Amazon say we have a full time worker who continually uses it and not letting it max out. How much time off can they utilize in a year?

@Keith1265565268 @ScottM16A4 @gowthamn384514 Yes I have paid vacation, pTO and UPT. We have VTO, and unions have a pink slip. Why isn’t Amazon laying off warehouse workers and UPS has laid off almost 100,000 so far. Because they don’t have mechanisms to prevent job loss.

Yesterday I ordered an obscure book and a 20 pound bag of dog food on Amazon. Today it was delivered to my house in rural upstate New York. Remind me again why Jeff Bezos doesn’t deserve to be a billionaire?

@Keith1265565268 @ScottM16A4 @gowthamn384514 Floor is much higher

@Keith1265565268 @ScottM16A4 @gowthamn384514 There was no wage gains. They fought for and got $21 and I was already making more than that.

@GerryBlevins @ScottM16A4 @gowthamn384514 Baseless claim that is refuted by research and reports labornotes.org/2023/08/wage-g… shift.hks.harvard.edu/wp-content/upl…

@middle_class_us I work a warehouse job.

@middle_class_us $500,000 is too much stop trying to buy prime real estate Me today: $30 an hour. Time needed for buy house. 2.7 years zillow.com/homedetails/11…
