So, Amazon will be soon releasing a wave of robots for doing jobs: https://basicincometoday.com/amazon-cant-get-enough-human-workers-so-here-come-the-robots/

And yet, the article downplays the issue of humans being replaced:

>The company wants to give the most demanding, repetitive tasks to robots, then retrain employees for higher-skilled jobs such as mechatronics or software engineering.

>Instead of replacing workers, robots can make their lives easier, argues Tye Brady, chief technologist at Amazon Robotics. “If you reframe your relationship with machines, you can gain incredible productivity.”

I can't shake off the impression that every time an article like this comes out, it always has a variation of "no, you're not getting replaced, don't worry".

Well, you are. And we need to think about what to do with the upcoming robot revolution. But pretending it's not coming does nothing, and makes sure lots of people will have to count pennies, and some will starve and die.
