    If the cost of keeping humans is higher than the cost of automating, they’ll just automate the process. Or have the place ran by wire, where humans pilot lifts remotely.

      There were only 8 people in that whole warehouse when it burned. It clear they already cut staff to an insanely low level. If they could have automated those 8 jobs away, they already would have.

      Stop preemptively giving up your power by assuming you have none.

        Honestly probably easier as there are less eyes. Just walk in with a clip board and say your from XYZ company and you have a contract to service the robots. If they seem hesitant at first, immediately get irate and say the contract is hourly and your technically already on the clock. In 98% of circumstances this will be your ticket in, if not try again on a different day of the week two weeks later.

        Then just leave behind some incendiary devices as your “servicing the robots” and now not only did you burn the warehouse down, they also have no clue who you even are.

        There’s plenty of technology that could be, but isn’t yet because the incentives aren’t there.

        If we turned all this wasted ingenuity towards the betterment of humankind, then everything could get much better very quickly.

        Depending on which oligarch you believe, we’re just about there. General purpose humanoid robots are almost ready to take over warehouse work
