@@z-beeblebrox introduction of autonomous robots will initially displace some jobs, it will also create new industries and job opportunities in fields related to the development and maintenance of these robots.

@@WoolandFlax This is not the same. The original introduction of robotics in the 60s-70s resulted in minimal job loss not because the workers replaced found better work maintaining the robotics, but because the robotics in question literally had minimal impact on how many workers were needed in a factory. If you're only losing a minority of workers, it's no different than a financially induced layoff - barely a blip on the radar of unemployment. Those unemployed labor workers couldn't magically gain engineering degrees and come back to work, they went searching for unskilled labor elsewhere. And the fact was, very very FEW unskilled labor markets were impacted by the original robotics boom - which should be obvious now by just looking at the sheer quantity of people Amazon employs at their factories. The vast majority of those people have neither the means nor capital to shift from unskilled to skilled labor. Certainly not at a moment's notice. Robots like Digit have the potential to FULLY replace all unskilled staff in a factory. With the right software, they have the potential to largely replace all the skilled staff and supervisors in a factory too. At scale, these kinds of fully autonomous, labor-generalized robots pose an existential threat to the labor market, and if we don't recognize that and do SOMETHING, there will NOT be any safety valves to prevent the slow cascade of mass lay offs from creating an unemployment crisis of a size never seen before in human history.
Don't worry everyone your job are still safe this Pooch couldn't accomplish in 24 hours that one person does in a single shift. What a huge waste of money
Lol. As history has shown us, machines never get faster. Computers are still the size of buildings and need their own power station. Cars are still hand cranked and have a top speed of 35mph. The internet is just for academics to email jokes to each other and websites are for the nerds. How does it feel to be completely wrong about everything? Do other people mock you? Constantly? Do you even know what IQ stands for?
@Benson Oh I'm fine. I'm happy. I live a full and happy life. I just think you are very stupid. Sorry if pointing that out upset you. I guess you can decide to blaim me for pointing it out. Maybe you need to try education? Anyway, I feel your comment says more about how sad you are inside, than about me. I do feel high and mighty, so thank you for that complement. I like the way you try to "rise above" it .... yet here you are, lowering yourself into the trolling filth that is the comment section of youtube. Congrats. Please, keep insulting me. I quite enjoy your tiny fury.

It was SO cool to see them in person at ProMat! Digit really impressed so many of us!
Cool🎉🎉
I feel like what Agility Robotics is to Boston Dynamics, Rocket Lab is to SpaceX.
I love how it squats to get to the lower container. Lift with your legs not with your back
Too Cool!
Digit finally has a head! Yay!!
Would you buy it or rent it? How much for the basic model without the upgrades and service. (estimated cost)
It cost 250k for the basic model , i don't know how much it cost to rent them
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇧🇷
why did it get tired and fall over?
robo waifus when?
SOON! I hope.
2050
when are they gonna square up against atlas tho, like im talking real battlebots type shit
Andrew Yang was right years ago.
without any plans for UBI, stuff like this is going to absolutely wreck the economy
@@z-beeblebrox UBI is a socialist Tylenol for a capitalist disease

Replace some manual labor
now I can't wait you guys giving digit some fingers and he standing on a desktop typing super fast.
🤔
Now if the Terminator looked and behaved like this he could have simply negotiated for us to go into voluntary extinction.
i was considering working for amazon but....."they took our jobs "😅
😱 *promosm*
why don't you merge with Tesla and Boston Dynamics to create the best robot together?
All 8 do is boring repeatative jerb i can't do brain work they stealing my jerbs!!
Some people cannot do tech jobs. You can make fun of it but.... Karma...
