Amazon plans to use automation to replace more than 600,000 workers who would otherwise be hired in the United States by 2033, according to internal documents obtained by The New York Times. By that time, the company is expected to sell about twice as many goods as it does today.
Amazon’s robotics team is reportedly working toward the goal of automating 75% of its entire business. By 2027, it is expected to eliminate around 160,000 jobs in the US, saving the company an estimated $12.6 billion — equivalent to around 30 cents per item delivered.
This was always the plan. Everyone knew this. And still, governors all over the country gave sweet deals for amazon to set up warehouses to create imaginary jobs.
… and they will have automated drone delivery by 2015!!
Picker bots are easy compared to drone delivery.
The systems already designed to be automated. That’s been the plan all along, remove the workers and make even more profit.
Seems to be working well for AWS.
Let’s replace their customers with not-customers.
Shame everything you do on the internet supports them through AWS though. Maybe they need more outages to drive those customers away.

Have they replaced all their delivery vans from combustion to electric yet?
and I’ve replaced amazon with normal shopping
I’ve replaced Amazon with various other shopping, but 3 of my purchases (shoes from Zappos and 2 eBay purchases) have come from Amazon anyway. It’s worse than I thought.
Since when do we post Amazon’s investor marketing messages unfiltered here?
Do you really think that’s what this is, or do you have the self-awareness that you are trolling?
