Reply to A McDonald’s location has opened in White Settlement, TX, that is almost entirely automated. Since it opened in December 2022, public opinion is mixed. Many are excited but many others are concerned about the impact this could have on millions of low-wage service workers. by Callitaloss
About 25 workers between part and full time at each McDonald's replaced by a couple people refilling hoppers and making sure someone gets called if it goes down.
Customer service Jobs are gonna be the first to go and the disruption will be shocking.

I guess because it's so mundane. We're manipulating materials at an atomic level and yet we're getting our electricity by steam engine.
And anger is probably the wrong word but you get what I'm saying. Vexed with the nonsense that is reality.

It makes me unreasonably angry that this is just to boil water faster.

It makes sense. So many femtoseconds for info to travel from input to brain, so many more to process, so many hundredths of a second to turn that process into a response.
By the time your conscious brain realizes things have occurred, those events are past.

I hope it will be. We stand a better chance with a self aware being having empathy and working with us than a machine programmed to make an infinite number of paper clips out of all available material.
