Walmart turns to robots and apps in stores

yeah were going to need all that and thensome to counter fight the beast call ai and its robot mr smith hunters law enforcement robots

 

I think you watched one to many scfi movies put down the remote and go outside get some fresh air

 

their is a lot of good insight in those movies, sometimes they can be spot on
this is control freak odd news

don't get me wrong its entertaining to ponder it but its not going to happen in my life time

 

If you're not near retirement age, it'd be wise to consider how your career path may change as a result of emerging technology.

 

so the mr smith upgrades are to far away , see once ai gets more hooked up and then its going to need security enforcers to keep it protected and up and running,
now maybe thats why are the keeping the news in the dark now in its/thier future moves
see where all here to do for we need to do i am interested about the future of it

Fwiw, that janitorial really robot is called an autoscubber
The thing is that human driven auto scrubbers been around for many years
The old autoscrubber replaced several janitors wielding mop and buckets
With one guy driving this big autoscrubber
This new innovation just replaces the driver
Although you still need staff to mantain the autoscrubber
You gotta take out the dirty water, put in fresh water, plug in the thing, change the cleaning pad
I suspect the the actual reduction in work force will be less than imagined
And instead there will be more frequent floor cleaning

But come what may, this is just one more remoseless step in automation eroding jobes and work force
It is the latest step, but just another step

 

one small boot step on poor folks necks and thier jobs, one larger giant step for Ai and into corporation pockets

 

There goes my dream of being a Walmart greeter after I retire.

 

Yes but one of the differences is even if the CEO ends up being a disaster the CEO gets a generous severance package.

And the difference between CEO pay and worker pay has ballooned astronomically while worker pay has basically stayed flat.

 

WalMart used to get into a lot of trouble for hiring illegals to do janitor work and then they contracted the job to companies that hired illegals to do the job.

 

I don't blame anyone for automating. But my guess is thst companies could save a lot more money eliminating executives and replacing them with Artificial intelligence algorithms.

 

business decision cant be made by some program because you cant teach a program to predict human nature human response
you cant write a program to tell you what products will sell and which ones wont that requires human reaction human input
you can write a program to push a button or pull a lever but you cant write a program that will tell you what will be the next hot item on the market or the next trend

 

what is your proposed solution?

 

no it will be ignorant unskilled people losing their jobs

 

stop being ignorant and unskilled so you cant be replaced by some machine

 

so your saying we have too catch up run faster! to catch up with nerds producing this technologically and its our fault
its bad enough we have to build a underground bunker for a possible nuclear confrontation with Russia and china with that advance technologically to survive.

 

i won't use those humanless cashiers, it is wrong... the few times that i'm forced to use one, because there are no other lines open, i deliberately screw it up & sloooooow the line down until a human comes over and does it for me.

 

no because a human will never be able to physically compete with a machine but what a machine will never be able to compete fully with is the human mind

 

so your saying all the video time 0:17 and do it better then humans can now millions of construction workers better step it up to another job but where are all those new jobs in technology
no because the nerds have got them mostly all locked up. so what are those ignorant unskilled people going to do

 

what's the quality? what does the robot do when the sheet rock needs to be cut? notice the robot didn't install the sheet rock side by side?
what happen when the studs aren't uniformly centered? what does the robot do when there are obstacles in the way like stacks of lumber? is it taught to move the lumber step over it? does that robot mud the sheet rock afterwards? and a professional sheet rock installer will leave that robot in the dust
yes you can teach a robot to perform the mundane no brainer task of installing full sheets not side by side not cut on uniformly centered studs
but when thought and skill is required the robot will fail

 

it doesn't have to compete fully with human mind it can be 80 to 90% as good and eliminate that percentages of human jobs on the planet

 

your underestimating thier future capability theirs almost no limit the tech nerds can figure out how to improve on their task, corporations are financing billions into this and pigging backing off of darpa tax payers also


video time 4:42 if your in as business you can piggy back off the tax payers to profit more

 

even the simplest task like digging a ditch couldn't be performed by a robot because you cant teach a robot to improvise when the task fails to be routine done with out thought
what would a robot do when digging that ditch it comes across a water pip or a electric line?
