I've never heard of Muslims called this before. It's true they're unthinking, but they aren't really robots.

So they’re hiring Germans again

i think automating away the majority of your workforce without offering them an alternative is probably a net bad for society

while i am not pro UAW i do feel bad for people that find themselves here. i think specialization is the way to go for these sorts of people, but if every person in this situation became a pipefitter or welder or millwright, then in the interim they have no one to build cars, leading to immigration or offshoring plants. this is why china is ahead, because they never had to contend with the UAW, and so they both have onshore plants that are fully automated

A robot is a machine that can carry out tasks automatically.

how do they tell the difference

>>28860965
government either prints money and hands out goybucks without inflation because the robots are extremely deflationary or the government taxes the robot companies and hands out goybucks that way

Sounds retarded when robotic arms seem faster and more effective than some manlet grade human that gets autistic fits when it falls to the ground

Can you imagine if that thing picked up a sloppy joe on the first cubicle and proceeds to smear it all over every other cubicle after that.

Kek. It has rows of extra cleaning heads it switches to though, so it's been thought of for if/when that happens.

you are retarded
this is old news

but obviously a humanoid robot is not nessisary when you can instead just design the factory to use collaborative arms for a fraction of the cost
humanoid robotics are only needed when you are plugging a gap in an existing line
