yes, this robot can make a pizza. but is a robot at this level really less expensive? do ppl really want to bother with technicians and maintenance at a pizza parlor? do ppl really want robot pizza? how many? adoption is more complicated than "technology exists."
show me a self-replicating, self-maintaining fleet of semi-autonomous pizza robots that operate for *less* than minimum wage and i'll agree we're probably looking at a real labor shift... in the utopian world we are necessarily now living in.
Over time and with more people in the market of making pizza robots and it easily pays for itself. Dont need to constantly retrain robots or hire more
I see Taco Bell offering managers $100k and maybe low wage labor is expensive
In-n-out also pays commiseratively
I think bank tellers and anyone in medical billing and coding has a whole lot more to worry about in the short term than anyone that makes food or does any type of skilled physical labor. The fucking robot coffee machine at SFO takes up like 400 cubic feet and is slow. A waste.
Frozen pizza had been made by automated factories for years. Making fresh pizza isn't fundamentally more difficult.https://makezine.com/2008/11/20/inside-a-frozen-pizza-fac/ …
Manual labor is actually more expensive and hard to automate. Knowledge work is much easier , and it is happening behind the scenes at full speed now. It’s not in the media or twitter, every F500 company just quietly runs labor optimization programs
These pizza videos are distraction from what’s really going on with labor today. Even in case when every pizza store will be robotic - it won’t make a huge shift in labor. There are other more significant shifts happening in labor space today.
Agree completely. I said the same thing about pumping my own gas, self-checkout, that kid selling tickets at the movie theater. Wait ... Point is the tech (or timing) often isn’t perfect on day 1 but it, and people adapt.
Tech at scale often times does not arrive until a decade or two later than proof of concept. Just remember all those WorldCom claims about internet deployment. Most of them came true, but 10 to 15 years behind schedule.
This (embedded tweet decrying 'job loss') is LITERALLY the exact same reaction as the Luddites. No body reads history
