      Usually what’s happened in the past is that new jobs become economical. If every possible job is replaced then that’s the new territory.

      I’m highly, highly skeptical this robot doesn’t suck, though. They say it won’t fully replace their workers, and I suspect that’s because it’s going to get stuck around a tricky corner or tangled in a loose pieces of packing tape constantly.

          Best case, yes exactly. But again, that’s happened before many times though (once upon a time, there was no conveyor belts or cranes in a warehouse either, there was guys doing that work) so I’m not too worried. Worst case it just fails.
