Saw this on Computerworld today and i've been thinking about it since
Founder of JD.com said robots will replace all 700,000 of their delivery workers. Didn't sugarcoat it, didn't give a timeline, just said it's coming
What got me was he also said he doesn't want his workers going hungry because of it, and their solution is retraining some of them to fix the robots taking their jobs.
700,000 people. That's not a rounding error.
Do you guys think this is actually as close as they're making it sound
