Six AgiBot G2 humanoids worked a Shanghai convenience store for 24 hours, completing 1,730 tasks under Genie Master; AgiBot has not yet published success rates.
Do they increase or decrease insurance costs? (hard to quantify, I think it’d likely overall raise insurance right now, but it will come down as trust increases)
How many robots does it take to replace one person (or vice versa)?
What are the employees being replaced going to do?
This is going to blow your mind, but use of robotics and automation in manufacturing is already a well established process. Now the idea is just being applied to a wider range of tasks because robots are becoming more versatile.
Meanwhile, under capitalism, I would imagine employees would starve, but in a socialist system people can just have more free time to enjoy their lives having been freed from drudgery. It’s kind of hilarious how everybody in the west was doing concern trolling about aging population in China, and now that China is automating manual labor at scale the concern trolling moved to these mythical unemployed people.
And that’s perfectly healthy too because youth unemployment counts people between 15 and 24. So, that just means kids are in school instead of doing child labor, and young people have more options to go to university before joining the workforce. But I’m sure you thought this was some clever gotcha.
I guess you think that them kids should be put to work as soon as they can walk so they can start making money for the pedo oligarchs am I right?
Youth unemployment is at 18% in China (it was around 23% / 24% a couple years ago, which is what I was thinking original). And those stats exclude students. Also, I should have prefaced that I meant in large functioning economies.

It’s perfectly normal to get a part-time job when you’re 16 or 17. Canada’s youth unemployment rate is about 13%. Are you suggesting Canadian teens are being used for child labour? Do you think those stats are tracking the 60hr American work week for teens?
Again, as the link I provided explains, youth unemployment counts 15 through 24 year olds. And those stats can’t exclude students because school education in China is mandatory, so anybody under 18 is in school by definition.
It’s perfectly normal to get a part time job for kids instead enjoying their youth under barbaric capitalist regimes. Obviously, Canadian teens are doing child labour instead of doing literally anything else. I grew up in USSR, and I didn’t have to be exploited in my teens. Amazing how you see this as normal.

I just can’t with people like you. If school is mandatory for 18 and under, and those stats exclude students, then the remaining demographic out of the 15 to 24 yr olds are… drum roll… youths from 19 to 24!

I don’t think you understand what “part-time” means. It literally means working a job for less than full time, and can even be a single hour per week.
The point of a part-time job for youths is to give them an idea of what actually working is like. Giving them real responsibilities (with real consequences; good and bad), thereby helping them with personal growth. And giving them a sense of accomplishment (I earned this money).
I worked part-time during highschool, and I had more free time than I knew what to do with. My job was super easy and practically little was expected from me. I had zero need to work, but it’s something that helped me appreciate the world around me better.
I have no idea where you’re getting this child exploitation garbage from. It sounds a lot like some ingrained communist ideas about the evils of the West (admittedly, not all wrong).
For the record, my parents grew up during the Iron Curtain under Soviet oppression. I’ve heard all the stories and perspectives. You have some strange ideas.
A robot is still more expensive than a grunt making minimum wage.
Unitree makes humanoids that cost around 10k a pop now.
And 6 of them can replace a person.
Except for Karen, she’s one of a kind apparently.
How long do they last though?

China does have one of the highest global rates of youth unemployment.
Edit: highest among nations with large economies. And I was thinking of the 24% stat from a couple years ago. It’s down to 18% now.

Youth unemployment in China is about the same as most of Europe, and much lower than say Sweden or Spain https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/youth_unemployment
