It wouldn’t be if the generation of jobs that aren’t just being a humanoid robot was 1:1 with their replacement. Instead, we’re just treading the edge of forcing people out of the workforce with nothing for them to go to that’s in the forced-out’s skillset. Where’s the training-up, as opposed to the forcing-out?
Further, are we really just gonna take Amazon at their word regarding “oh, they’re meant to work collaboratively with a human workforce, not replace them!” Cause I sure as shit don’t.
And what’s the recompense for the ones who “aren’t needed”? “Wish you luck, get out”? They’re just supposed to make a not-nearly-enough unemployment check stretch because some shitbag C-suite deemed them unnecessary and/or not worth paying? The seemingly naively-optimistic IFLS angle on robotics is going to only exacerbate the “motherfuckers aren’t hiring” crisis we’re still living through.
But what I’m saying is what we’re living now is unsustainable without HEAVY changes to the way our society operates-- and you seem to just want to exacerbate that already existing crisis, and introduce us to a brand new one. Not all of us-- as a matter of fact, precious few of us-- have the capabilities, either liquid resource or intangible resource-wise, to actually upskill in the West.

How positively monstrous.

I get what you mean, but what are millions of people going to do for work instead?
