Dating show host Arlette Amuli returns with another crazy episode of "Pop The Balloon 🎈…
Robot outworked a human during many 8-hour shifts
Robots taking over.
Blog King, Mass Appeal
SAN JOSE — “🎵Shooby doo bop, shoo doo bop, I wanna love you. Shooby doo bop, computer love.🎵” Uh-oh! If you’re employed in warehouse and manufacturing, might be time to dust off the resume. That’s because a viral video shows a Figure 03 humanoid working multiple 8-hour shifts in an assembly line without taking a damn break. And, get this: The android didn’t clock in because he works for free. He don’t need vacation leave, and he’ll never call in sick. The robot, who handled thousands of packages, was competing against human employees who took several breaks to have lunch and take a piss. The humanoid 🤖 scanned barcodes, picked up boxes, rotated them into position and kept ’em moving through the workflow. He made us humans look slow and obsolete. “Our original goal was an 8-hour run,” tweeted Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock.
After zero failures yesterday, we decided to keep going. We’re now over 24 hours of continuous autonomous operation without a failure. This is uncharted territory.”
Social media reaction was priceless. One commenter wrote, “Artificial intelligence has taken over the workforce. Pretty soon every human will be on welfare and food stamps.” Another chimed in with, “If robots take our jobs, how the f*ck are we supposed to buy their products?” A third person added, “They should’ve made the human workers wear diapers to keep them from taking breaks.”
The humanoid was operating fully autonomously, sans human control, through the company’s Helix-02 AI system.
“There is no teleoperation,” Adcock gloated.
“Every action comes directly from Helix-02.”
Figure AI is competing with Tesla, Agility Robotics, and Apptronik to commercialize androids for warehouse, factory, and logistics operations.
Should we be worried as humans?
Watch the robot put mankind to shame, then watch Adcock’s interview.

AI is a tool, not a replacement
Humans are obsolete … next
Will the robots be taxed to pay for my SSI retirement
Yes, we will need to deal with AI and job displacement. How? Here’s my idea: corporations will soon start laying off workers at a high rate. Solution? Tax the corporations much higher, so the profit margin they receive from replacing workers with AI can turn in federal checks received by unemployed civilians. Those corporations are already profitable, so if we tax them higher and send that paycheck to unemployed civilians, we could potentially reach some balance point. (partially plagiarized from Elon Musk).
Robots have already replaced some factory workers in welding and assembly and now we have these c3po style human like Robots or Droids if you will that will in time replaced nearly all employees in the workplace,but something Elon Musk and the other greedy filthy rich people who are behind this apparently haven’t thought of is…if people are out of work who is going to buy the products being produced?In short,this will come back around to bite them!
So how companies will make money, if there isn’t people buying, since AI took there jobs? And also I will say that we are depending to much on technology, they have all our informations, bank accounts, medical and personal information, so if the whole system crashes, we are going to be cooked since we are depending on technology for everything. I don’t have nothing against AI or new technology, but we are depending to much on it.
Melania Trump said Figure 3 will replace teachers. That will be weird.
@Big Mac Attack: Teachers aren’t gonna be replaced- they don’t just stay in the classroom and teach every kid, they have kids who have IEPs, ARDs, ALL kinds of things where parents have to show up in all of these and NO parent or child is gonna sit at the round table with a bunch of ROBOTS— teachers are also having to wipe the butts of kindergartners and 1st graders because they pee and crap themselves because they’re not “potty trained”— bet ya didn’t know that did ya— my daughter is an elementary music teacher and works with the marching band in the HS… so I know. And there’s not gonna be any robots taking over for the teachers who work with kids in the band/marching bands. Again, NO PARENT is gonna sit down with a ROBOT for anything. Doctors aren’t going anywhere either. They may use robotic hands and arms to do surgery but that ENTIRE OR staff are more than needed— I’ve been a RN for over 27 years— TRUST ME, most doctors aren’t going anywhere either a robot can probably read an X-ray, CT, Sono, but doctors overall are NOT going anywhere.
They need to figure out how to free us from jobs, or just smaller work weeks but we can still have income. Let’s say work only 2-3 days a week and get the same money. Things should become cheaper but CEOs and shareholders are greedy.
When looking for a job, I used to consider how likely was the job to get outsourced overseas.
Now I look at how soon they’ll have robots doing my work.
It’s the sign of the times, just like any new technology., what we do have to do is accept AI, I support it because it will be more efficient in many fields of work, AI is already on assembly lines shipping packages, sorting etc.😊
The thing businesses and corporations haven’t realized, YET, is to be able to CONTINUE to keep their power AND money, they NEED to realize, automation, isn’t a good investment, ESPECIALLY full automation/it may sound good, right now, to buy/invest in a machine, that is only the price of one McDonald’s workers pay, for a year, that will replace all of your employees, but what you will find out is, not having more employees, cuts into your profits/employees, buy products, not machines, and if everythings automated, which it could be, right now, we would have to transition into something like a Regulated Autonomous Free Post-Scarcity Economy (RAFPSE)/an economy where most people didn’t have jobs, or money, and everything was free, but things we’re limited, based on availability, The supply chain/delivery system and BASICALLY EVERYTHING else would be fully autonomous/done without human intervention, basically IF a human has done a task, a machine could also do the task, the ONLY things that wouldn’t be completely automated, would be government and or corporation regulation, and also new scientific/technological discoveries, analytical tasks, that aren’t calculated for/recognized, so regulation/making/keeping the over all system as efficient as possible, adverse effects would need to be identified and mitigated, AND sustainability would be a HUGE factor/we would NEED to be able to handle the demand, WITHOUT making something go extinct, or make it run out, one solution, COULD be to make/create/cultivate/grow food/parts of animals/essentially grow food in/with incubators/bioreactors/Cell Agriculture, MAY be a good solution, but my point is, when you go the automation/machine/Robot/AI route, you cut into your over all profits, meaning even if your employees don’t buy your products, someones employees buy your products, and the less employees, the less products sold, also IF ALL companies did this or even a certain percentage, of companies did this, A LOT less money would be made, or if everything was automated, no money would be made/with out human employees, or even with a significant reduction to employes hired, a transition would start to have to occur, to something like a Regulated Autonomous Free Post-Scarcity Economy/ (RAFPSE), without employees/money, this is the next step.
Dear god : You go to a fast food place and it’s just self help kiosks and a shelf for walkins/food delivery to pick up meals. I am sure AI will make this even worse. 🙁
And we wonder why kids don’t care about their education, because they see no future.
I’m just wondering, with all the job cuts and the decrease of purchasing power as the result, who’s gonna buy their cutting edge technology products?
Or maybe things are gonna be cheaper in the future and you don’t need to work to afford it?
I have been telling people for years. Here are the jobs that will end or be significantly reduced by 70% or more. Many can be seen already.
1. Driving jobs, truck, city bus, school bus and ferry operators.
2. Hotel front desk, waitresses and waiters, parking lot attendant.
3. Almost all non-technical sales. Auditors, paralegals,?law clerks and contractual law attorneys, injury attorneys.
4. Call center, School teachers and college professors
There’s needs to be Legislation Banning This Immediately
Trump bragged about bringing back manufacturing. He didn’t specify it would be for humans. 🤡🤡🤡
Don’t make them stronger than a human seems like a good idea to me
Bye bye jobs and employment!
So humans will not be able to do anything anymore… except they play on their phones (some of them).. lol. In this new generation, a lot of them do not want to work because they aren’t being paid what a CEO gets as soon as they “graduate high school”. Think about it… ordering “ready-made” food (not really knowing what they are eating), etc. Oh well! Oh yeah I almost forgot, there’s the self-driving cars. Some wont use their muscles anymore. The robots are currently high-end, costing around $20,000–$30,000, People don’t meet and socialize anymore… some of them are into non-social life now, Often for some on AI conversations, etc. Can anyone guess what’s next?
oh shit, they’re gonna fire that guy
Robussy is the future accept it
Male laziness is gonna lead us all to extinction 🥲
shouldnt this be illegal???
WE ARE SO FUCKED
If there is a robot that could just wash dishes, I’m sold! 🍽️
@Pollyanna_Effect: I already have a robot that cleans the dishes. It’s called a dishwasher.
Can it make me a sandwich? 🥪
This is a big NO.
There will be no further need for human beings upon the earth. Brilliant!
Get ready for the purge
If they can do everything a human can that also includes unaliving you!!! We really think these “machines” aren’t going to be pissed when they realize they’re our slave robots?!!? Skynet will eventually take over the world and we literally gave it the damn car keys. Dumb….ass…humans.
We’re entering into the “I, Robot” timeline.
We’re so cooked
As a disabled person, a robot that could help around the house would help me be able to keep everything up around my house without needing help. Everybody talks about jobs being lost, but the reality is that not many people like cleaning other people’s houses and not everybody likes strangers coming over. It would be life changing for people like me and empowering, the difference between being completely self sufficient and not being able to keep up.
Someday I hope I have a housekeeper robot
again, the fact that humans are ok with this is way more disturbing.
People need these jobs. How does the government expect any expenditure in the economy?!
Every person replaced by a robot is another reason for Universal Basic Income .
This is the end of humans as we know it if you have a brain and a heart is time to stand up against this bullshit and start tearing these motherfuckers up
It’s creepy, like watching the T-800 series in its infancy. We’re gonna need a lot of barret .50 in the future.
Billionaires rushing to employ cheap slaves.
this is fuckin scary we are all fucked
wont take long before someone teaches it how to shoot a pistol
I say good. Free the humans from such a mundane existence. I’d lose my mind within a week if that was my job. It’s best to reflect on where the term “going postal” came from and what it means.
Data centers + building robots = world takeover
Figure 03 is cheaper than a human and it works until it breaks. And yes Figure 03 is far better than Tesla’s robot. Tesla needs to catch up.
This is so fuckin amazing. We have come so far in the field of robotics.
Well fellow humans it’s been a good run!
