It's an interesting thing to watch. I have concerns, but we have found a way to get around those concerns in the past. We'll need to adapt, but we are a pretty adaptable species.
well before it was replacing work with other work
this is kind of more replacing a lot of work with a lot less work
And the people doing the replacing already have all the money.
Everybody who has used the term "vertical" in the past few pages no longer gets to make fun of business buzzword speak.
If I'm going to catch shit for saying I work with "big data", y'all don't get to throw around words like "vertical" that I still only have a vague idea of what they mean despite like 4 different posts to provide context.
I thought it was pretty clear I was being cheeky as hell, but I guess not.

they have implemented a new employee development plan thing at work
i am now trying to come up with goals
what is this shit
I do that every year.
Goal 1: Take a class in something
Goal 2: Take another class
Say you want to run an internship program
Complain about never being able to hire good coworkers
It's a great goal that looks like you're starting to be a manager one day but can be defensively knocked off course by any number of factors (budgets, too busy at key times, sick at key times)
and you're all doing the thing where you line item every aspect of one side and only consider the initial purchase cost of the other side
robot employees require maintenance
in a dusty warehouse, probably constant maintenance
Automated warehouses don't really look like manned warehouses. The shelves are super tall, aisles are narrow, everything is palletized, boxed, standardized. Maintenance isn't too bad on the cutting edge stuff amazon is looking at, but it'll be a while before it's cheap and flexible enough to hit mainstream.
i dunno about amazon's warehouse but the shit that comes in the door here from taiwan
dudes look like coal miners by the time they're done unloading a container
that would screw up some fine ass robot parts i'm sure
Oh for sure. But as more places go automated, there is a tremendous financial incentive to ship things clean and standardized. That manufacturer in Taiwan that shipped all those filthy parts loaded some cost off on to you because they know you'll put up with it because you have people there to do that job, and getting them filthy carries a tiny penalty. But if you automate the rest of your warehouse and suddenly those guys are ONLY in charge of unloading and inserting parts into your shelves, you become way less willing to hire people to do that job. You will pay a higher and higher premium for clean, ready to go parts packed in a standard configuration that an automated system can suck right in. It then becomes cost effective for guys upstream from you to buy into automation also. Things start coming in shrinkwrapped in clean little buns and you pay a little more but certainly not as much as paying human beings.
I mean, I've seen this in action. We automate a system and the person running the factory goes to their upstream supplier and says "we are automated now, please pack your parts in this way so our robots can deal with them without human help. We'll pay a little more". And so they do. Until robotics are amazing, there will still be a limited amount of human interaction high up the manufacturing stream but it's a fraction of what we see today. And eventually even that will be chipped away.

Nah, the one that triggered my post was Senjutsu, actually.
Like, before I thought "vertical" was an industry term related maybe to warehousing, or perhaps entrepreneurship or something.
But then Senj tossed it at me like I was supposed to understand what it meant, so I guess it's a general term?
It seems like it means "field" or "specific section of an industry" or something.
I feel the NRA is falling down on the job, they haven't submitted any kind of outline for a path to man-portable EMP weapons, to protect our jobs from the coming robot scourge.
You don't open with EMP small arms. They will adapt/harden for that if they aren't already. Save any EMP effects for like surprise nuke.
Look I've played an energy weapons build in the last two Fallout releases I think I know what I'm talking about.
Just in case, I have plenty of teddy bears to slingshot launch.
All I'm saying is any robot with enough armor that you even consider EMP over regular bullets could easily incorporate some EMP hardening.
What if they went Iron Man style and converted those energy blasts into more chest cannons? MCU trumps Fallout.

I used it incorrectly really, just because Houn kept talking about moving into Chanus's "vertical"
vertical would be like the set of companies, from low level parts & tools up to the high level companies that turn those into iphones and dildoes
it's douche speak for supply chain

With the baby boomers leaving the marketplace automation will inevitably be what replaces them.
And when Vasalgel hits the market, it will result in a drop in birth rate.
There is a chance this works out in a manor that doesn't cause massive employment shift.
