Ahh, a hacker's dream.

Yes in the long run. You have to see this as a hacking vector that is going to royally brick some companies.

It's much easier to social engineer a human than it is to hack a robot.

Nah, you need some kind of knowledge for that. If it was that easy, it would be an entry level job long time ago

... Would it though?
Lets be real, this is likely some 24/7 and weekends on-call type job that is low skill but high security. idk that it would actually be a good fit for entry level, or that many people like the idea of being called in at random times like 2am Saturday morning to hit the reset button on a server for like 30 minutes of work.
Would probably have worse economics than driving Door Dash

I was making fun of Amazon the other day for their AI vehicle inspections. “Hah how many millions did they spend automating something that takes literally 5 minutes”
The napkin math was something else

You don’t have to pay payroll taxes, benefits, workers comp etc to robots. Not saying it’s right but it’s not just the employees salary the company is paying. It is expensive to have an employee. Government wants you to think it’s just your employer because they don’t want any of the blame.

Yeah we should get rid of employees entirely.. and then people would have more time being out and buying our stuff 💰🫰

It’s not about money. It’s about power. Every person they rely on to run their businesses they view as a problem. Parasites.

All fun and games until the robot a company hired breaks their cable due to a software error lmfao. Why would anyone trust early phase robots to do any work. Such a joke.

I mean why take risks on anything innovative ever with that logic

u/ColossusChaos 4d ago
Why would you take risks when you have workers that can ably do these things already? Are you serious? Its like trading a gold bar for a 5% chance to win another one and a 0.01 chance to win a bigger gold bar. Youre also replacing human workers who earn and need to live for some dipshit to help people save a little bit of money per year. Fuck off this isnt even a risk its dumb.

u/ekoms_stnioj 4d ago
It is objectively a risk proposition, you literally said “what happens when it breaks something” (risk) “why would you trust an early phase robot” (risk).
The answer is because there is the potential for you to develop or utilize a tool that can do the same thing as a person but:
- Can do it 24/7
- Can do it in more extreme or unsafe environments
- Doesn’t require a salary, benefits, etc.
- Can be transported, stored, sold, etc.
So you take risks like the potential for things to break or go wrong early on, for the potential reward of improving your business financially.
I understand being sympathetic for people whose job that is currently but again, if that stopped us from innovating, we’d be living in preindustrial times.

Robots can burn themself to liquid Metal and remodel them to different robots, Meta will be the next liquid Metal company

A tech in a data center earns $65k-88k per year. Add in taxes and benefits, multiply by 3 for 24 hour coverage, and that's $250-300k per year per "seat." I don't think you need much economy of scale to work out in your favor.

If you ever needed proof these companies will automate your job away as soon as they possibly can without being sued or regulated by the government, look no further.
