It is eliminating ~8 jobs lifting boxes for every 1 job it creates supervising robots lifting boxes.

For it or against it, when people talk about robots replacing labor, this is exactly what they are talking about.

Isn't that the the end goal of technology? Those of us working in the technology field have had a hand in replacing labor since the first guy that figured out how to connect a plow to an ox.

Our hope, at least mine, is that we remove drudgery and difficulty from people's lives and create new jobs to replace the ones that are lost.
