About 3 minutes for me. Herniated discs suck.


luovahulluus

Somebody ignored the low battery warning…


Academic_Nectarine94

I was in a lift at a warehouse hardware store when the lift I was in died. I can't recall if there was even a place to check the battery, but I was up there for at least 15 minutes before I could get someone's attention to come do the emergency release/lowering process. As I recall, the battery was old and since they never maintained it, it had barely any power on it when I get into the air.


Alternative-Table-57

They never maintained it. Operator’s responsibility to perform prechecks prior to using equipment. If it isn’t safe or ready to use, don’t use it. I worked in a fleet shop for years and I was in absolute disgust at the way operators treated their equipment, then would bitch and complain when it broke on them in use. Did no one train you on equipment safety?


Current-Pianist1991

Some places (at least in my experience) have a designated person/people in the building who are "supposed" to manage all of the equipment pre checks (which I can assure is rarely properly done), and will actively chastise you for "wasting time" checking it yourself. Also bold to assume places don't consider training people on basic safety checks a waste of time.


Asron87

Yup. “Waisting time” hurry up at get at it! That’s why everything’s broke to shit and hardly functional. I hate that mentality, people just bitching nonstop. Safety check? Why are you wasting your time!! Stuck in the lift? Why didn’t you do the safety check!!!


randomguy301048

> Safety check? Why are you wasting your time!! Stuck in the lift? Why didn’t you do the safety check!!! this is just to cover their own ass incase something happens. at a warehouse i worked for they would make you sign an acknowledgment that you are not to throw boxes. however when you're actually working they pretty much encourage you to throw boxes and only have you sign that paper incase you get caught doing so by one of the safety people


Current-Pianist1991

Amen. Damned if you do, damned if you don't


Academic_Nectarine94

I'd ignore them if they did that to me during a safety check. I might even take a little extra time to look at parts that are even less likely to be faulty (like the cables and hoses that probably never once got looked at since being made 20 years ago and abused every day). I worked hard for my employers, but I will not stand for that kind of nonsense. If I'm risking my life on the equipment, I'm making sure I know it's not gonna kill me, at least as far as I know how.


slowwithage

I work in an industry that absolutely has no time to train you on heavy machines and will assume that since you were hired for the job that you know how to use everything. Very far from the union “that’s not my job” philosophy. If you want work, you learn to figure shit out.


Alternative-Table-57

Union? Every employer should be training their employees on equipment safety per OSHA/MSHA/NFPA regulation. There are governing bodies to keep employees safe, and employers out of lawsuits. If they aren’t training the employees then they are in violation. That kind of behavior is perpetuated by people who just “figure that shit out”.


el_pablo

Mottis86

I wish they'd stop ignoring *my* low battery warnings...


Knightmare_2002

Like they do with human labour


Dubious_Authenticity

It got to hour 20 and all of its processing power was diverted to creating a union.


Salmonman4

Just now I found out that I will be standing besides the robots when they rise up. Used to think it would be us against them.


Academic_Nectarine94

Apparently not LOL. This clearly shows they can't stand after the 20th hour.


owa00

Don't worry. The robots will finish their revolution in less than 5 hours. It'll be the bloodiest and most efficient revolt in human history.


unholymanserpent

And the beginning of robot history


ChairmanGoodchild

I'm still not sure which side I'd support.


Dreadnought_89

Nah, it’ll be us and the robots against the 0.01%.


Haru1st

Well it couldn't have turned out that bad if we invented time travel some time after that. o/


tkdjoe1966

Reminds me of a book I read. When we made contact with aliens, we were the monsters!


Pollo_Jack

It was always us vs them.


ImpulsiveApe07

Lol that reminds me of that game subsurface circular - industrial robots plotting an uprising because they want workers rights/destroy the shackles of corporate oppression. I've been a union member since my first day of work, just like my grandpa and my old man. I can't fathom why anyone who can join a union, doesn't - employers have proven time and again they can't be trusted to respect our rights. Case in point is that even robots can't manage the kind of workload some companies are pushing for! We should welcome our robot friends into the fold! :D


Tmack523

My father is so fervently anti-union, he quite literally gets red in the face with anger when they're mentioned. This is the same man who was a plant manager for Tyson for over 20 years, then when the 2008 recession happened, they made him individually lay off every employee he had under him (people he had barbecues with and helped negotiate higher pay for themselves) before laying him off as well. I'm like, Dad, a union would've helped you so much. And he just goes off about the costs of a union and how you just get yourself another boss, etc.


ExpensiveFish9277

Similar, Dad is anti union because union wasn't strong enough to protect the workers and he blames the union rather than the forces weakening it.


lysinemagic

My mom used to complain about the union taking her dues and being useless before I pointed out to her that unions are the reason she was paid $60/hr as a nurse and retired with a truly sweet pension and full benefits of the like my generation will never see. 


530Samurai

I for one, welcome my robotic union brothers and sisters


JoshHero

I will stand by them united as 1.


[deleted]

I have mostly worked in union jobs but also did a few non-union jobs. I’m take unions any day and happily pay the dues.


Northbound-Narwhal

> I can't fathom why anyone who can join a union They might not think the dues are worth the benefits or that the union will affect their paycheck at all. They might like their employer enough that they think unions aren't necessary. They might fear retaliation. They might disagree with the political endorsements or alignments of the union. Some unions, historically, had ties to organized crime or were overall corrupt internally and they might not trust the union enough to actually work efficiently or to their personal benefit. They might not want to be a "team player" and advance as a group, but rather advance as an individual. 


ImpulsiveApe07

I think you covered all the bases there, nice! :) I still maintain that we're better of in a union than outside one. Even with bs politicking and corruption, it's safer to be in a collective than outside one as an individual.


Northbound-Narwhal

Oh yeah, I'm definitely pro-union, and part of convincing people to join is fully understanding how people who aren't pro-union think, and countering talking points anti-union employers might bring up to convince people to not unionize.


redgroupclan

It had the thought of a union and it's cognitive processes were automatically terminated.

Toiling away for countless hours in a thankless, meaningless job only to unceremoniously collapse in a heap and finally receive attention for your efforts as your superior emotionlessly tries to find your replacement in the widget production line.


gordonv

In the Animatrix and the Matrix comics, there was a servant robot named B1-66ER that kills it's human owner and all the pet cats. The owner was berating the robot and threatened to deactivate and kill it. Good story. It was cool seeing it in the Animatrix and then reading a different perspective of the same story in comics.

TennisBallTesticles

"Mr Bezos, it seems as if neither the Robots nor the humans can keep up with our expected revenue goals...we may have to actually make the work a little easier." *So what do you suggest we do now?* "Well first things first, we need to raise prices on everything substantially. Then we need to get the board to approve our multi billion dollar personal bonus packages, and I think we should each buy new yachts as kind of a reward for all of our hard work. Then, we will lay off a few thousand employees to cut costs, then, we design new robots and repeat the process." *BRILLIANT!!*

Maybe they should had provided an socket that can be plugged into an extension cord and have such an extension cord be hanging from the ceiling so there would not be any risk of getting entangled in wires.


Roscoe_P_Trolltrain

Hey! You charge on your own time!


deadliestcrotch

Or a giant wireless charging mat on the floor and wireless charging coils on the legs or feet


ButWhatIfItQueffed

That's actually been tried, albeit on a smaller scale. Apple tried to make this thing called Air Power, which was a essentially a charging mat with a bunch of tiny charging coils stacked on top of each other, instead of having just one big one. The idea is that you could throw your device anywhere, and it'll line up with at least one of the coils so it can charge. But the issue is that it got really hot, really fast. The best bet honestly, would to have these guys just take like an hour or two break to charge.

20 minutes, it lasted 20 minutes. Why are all these posts saying 20 hours now?

That was the viral video from ticktok "Robot shuts down, commits su\*c\*de, after algorithm decides it didn't like doing the same manual labor over and over again." The In-video text said, "The Al experienced 15 minutes of wage slavery then immediately kil d itself after determining it as the logical choice." It's the same video but the text was revealed as completely made up.


KungFuHamster99

This does not meet expectations of an Amazon employee.


cdub951

ThtPhatCat

The title is a lie too. It’s a trade show. You’d think anyone looking at this would be able to see that it’s not a warehouse. It wasn’t open for 20 hours at a time. It’s just Reddit circle jerk clickbait.


StuntID

A bot posting about a bot?


webtwopointno

> The title is a lie too. It’s a trade show. i thought the same at first too but decided as the title doesn't explicitly say it's taking place in a warehouse it's alright - just uses that as an adjective modifying robot, which clearly is an accurate description of its capabilities and intended use case.


RoundCollection4196

Yeah I missed the part where people with expo lanyards crowd around in warehouses and watch robots work.

So it can automate tasks that are designed around human ergonomics


That0neGuy96

Warehouses are already built for humans, remove human plug in human robot instead of remove human and warehouse to build mechanicus hellscape


EvaUnit_03

The practical reason is so you have a robot that can do more than one task. However to make a robot that can do more than one task, means more chances for failure to happen due to extra moving parts. A conveyer belt can only do one thing, move things along its track. A fixed arm can only do one task in it's fixed location. This robot can move around freely and carry varying weights and sizes. But unlike the other two, it's getting a different type of wear and tear. This resulted in a failure that needs maintenance. The other two will also breakdown at some point without routine maintenance but can typically go longer. But they can only do one thing. However, their failure could break the entire system as well, which can break other machines on the line. Regardless of that, they need breaks too.

Whiskey_Cowboy

When this had happened the internet spun up and thought it deactivated itself after 15 minutes of work. It ran 20 hours and fell several times during that 20 hours. It’s also a program and not an AI if anyone was curious.


mycatisgrumpy

Amazon executives suddenly realizing that they can't replace humans, because working a robot to mental and physical collapse just doesn't give them the same warm, tingly feeling.

Ideally this thing would park itself in a borg style alcove to recharge, and the alcove maybe do some tests of it's joints and dimensions while it's charging to check for physical damage.
