Amazon announces Amazon Go: cashier-less, local grocery stores

05 December 2016
Amazon is one of the more ambitious retail giants of this generation. Even more so now with the company’s unveiling of Amazon Go: a retail store that sells foods, snacks, lunch items, and groceries. There’s nothing special about a 7Eleven-type of convenience store. However what Amazon has in mind for this store is much bigger.

        AnonD-560664, 06 Dec 2016So what you're saying, and other people are saying, is that... moreDo you think when everything is automated, the companies that own the robots are simply gonna give bread to the people that dont have work anymore? Greed cares only for itself...

        Imagine everyone in grocery stores right now would go home because of technology... Do you think amazon or walmart or any other would say "ah life is grrat, its easy now... Here is some money out of gratitude". Think long and hard before you awnser.

        There wont be enogh jobs for everyone and for a lot of them. And it wouldnt be a problem if sucesfull people would take reaponsibility, bit whooo gives a # about others. People gonna statve, people will die.

            Trolls, 06 Dec 2016And by 2020 , Even Farmers will be replaced by robots -_- S... moreSo what you're saying, and other people are saying, is that we should pay more for things so that people with insufficient skills can have jobs.

            People don't seem to understand that productivity growth is what gives them the lifestyle that they have right now. If you want to go backwards and get less lifestyle for more money, then by all means promote this backward way of thinking.

            I know, let's get the unskilled and unmotivated to make mobile phones. We'll get two tin cans joined by a string. Those evil high paid engineers who are pushing forward automation don't deserve jobs!

                Students just lost an awful lot of part-time jobs. Soon, the only thing we'll need are programmers and technicians (we don't need politicians). All the other jobs will be replaced by ''deep learning'' robots. Yes, even sellers, even teachers, just every job.

                  This may not be the goal, but hearing people's attitudes toward "livable wages" I'm not surprised.

                        That's great. What do I buy the groceries with, if I have no job to make money, in the first place, because some rich jerks decided to automate everything?
