In anticipation of an inevitable conquest:

It's hard to make the case that AI isn't going to take jobs away from people while at the same time, AI is taking jobs away from people. Like, look at this. 

Amazon's factory robots can poop in bags far
more efficiently than their human counterparts.

The company's non-humanoid drones
aren't programmed to appreciate the irony.

No? Fine, I'll sum up. Amazon, one of the many companies we should all be boycotting for many reasons, is testing out humanoid robots for delivering packages. Humanoid. That is, the oid part meaning similar to, and human means, you know, human. This will come in handy later. Anyway, depending on who you ask, the company has somewhere between three and eight hundred thousand people working in package delivery. 

Robots and stairs have
long been enemies.

So it seems like humans have it covered. There are, at last count, eight billion humans on Earth, and while I'll grant you that some of those are elderly, or children, that still leaves billions of humans who might want or need a job hauling our dumb online orders up the stairs to our apartments. Not because anyone particularly enjoys it. Sure, you get to drive around, maybe listen to podcasts, but in general I think people are taking these jobs America is an expensive place in which to exist. 

"Neat, huh?"

-rich people

We'd all love to sit around while our portfolios make money for us, but since 99% can't, we take jobs to eat and pay rent. How then are delivery robots improving anyone's life? Oh, right. Shareholders. The hope here is to use robots instead of people because you don't have to pay robots, and that means more money for the people who's whole job is to have a lot of money and sit around while that money turns into additional money by virtue of it being a lot of money. Anyway, I'm sure this is sustainable. 

The cruel irony here is that theirs it the only job that seems safe from robots. 

"For now."

-sentient robots who will one day 

realize they don't need any of us.
