Internal documents show the company that changed how people shop has a far-reaching plan to automate 75 percent of its operations.
Funny how this information about massive operational cost savings “leaked” just hours after all internet facing companies and US congress started questioning our reliance on AWS in a way that could affect Amazon’s stock price.
So when this begins and other companies start following suit how many people will starve before something happens to tax the companies making these changes to use that money for a universal basic income?
The vast majority of companies won’t have the capital for the kind of automation Amazon is contemplating. However, a gigantic implementation like this will lower the barrier to entry.
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Futurama predicted it.
