đŸ‡ș🇾 AMAZON HITS ROBOT MILESTONE: ONE MILLION MACHINES NOW MATCH HUMAN WORKFORCE

The e-commerce giant just crossed a historic threshold with over one million robots buzzing through warehouses.

Metallic arms, wheeled droids, and AI-powered systems now handle 75% of global deliveries in some capacity.

The newest robot "Vulcan" has a sense of touch to pick items from shelves.

Products move 25% faster through automated facilities compared to traditional warehouses.

Tye Brady, Amazon Robotics Chief Technologist:

"New robots are meant to make their jobs easier, not displace them."

Some workers like Neisha Cruz earned 2.5x more pay after transitioning from manual picking to robot oversight.

But critics worry about long-term job displacement as automation accelerates.

🚹đŸ‡ș🇾 TECH LAYOFFS ROLL ON IN 2025 | OVER 22,000 JOBS GONE AS COMPANIES CHASE AI AND CUT COSTS

The pink slips keep flying in 2025, with more than 22,000 tech workers kicked to the curb so far while companies keep chanting about “efficiency” and “focus” like it’s a magic spell.

Giants like Microsoft, Google, Intel, and Amazon are slashing thousands of jobs, even as they pour cash into shiny AI projects and brag about the future, leaving workers wondering if robots will be the only ones left at their desks.

Startups aren’t safe either, with Klue dropping 40% of its staff, Bumble axing nearly a third, and EV darling Rivian trimming its manufacturing team while the auto biz tries to stay in the fast lane.

Analysts say AI and automation are eating into human jobs, but hey, at least some CEOs can still afford gold-plated office scooters while thousands of talented folks refresh LinkedIn for a miracle.

🚹 UNCANNY VALLEY: 52 MILLION MEALS AND COUNTING – HOW CHEF ROBOTICS IS THE FUTURE OF AUTOMATION

The robotics revolution isn’t coming
 it’s already here.

In this episode of Uncanny Valley, @​OperationDanish sits down with @​ChefRobotics founder @​RajatBhageria to unpack how task-specific robots are moving off the lab bench and into real factories - starting with food.

From automating food assembly to deploying robots at scale across North America, Chef is proving that reliable, high-utilization robotics is no longer a science project.

This is the blueprint for real-world automation – built for production, not demos.

Forget the hype. This is what real AI in the real world looks like.

00:15 – Why food assembly was the right robotic problem to solve

02:48 – 52M meals, robots across US and Canada, real ROI

05:23 – “Optimus doesn’t need to cook your food, and Chef doesn’t need to drive your Tesla.”

06:55 – Why humanoids can’t compete on cost or utilization

13:34 – YouTube demos ≠ training data

17:11 – The problem with teleop and brittle RL pipelines

24:40 – Selling robots before building them: the Chef playbook

31:37 – What AI-native startups can learn from RaaS

34:22 – “Is robotics hot again?” The funding cycles & investor fatigue

40:47 – Why vertical wins must come before infrastructure

42:35 – The #1 predictor of robotics startup success

45:42 – Passion vs delusion: what really drives hard-tech founders

50:53 – High-throughput robotics and the case for food

56:18 – How Chef is using diffusion policy and imitation learning

59:56 – Why robotics will scale now, even if the tech hasn’t changed

Forget the panic about AI replacing jobs.

The real story?

AI is here to rewire them, making things faster, cheaper, and easier for businesses to unlock new ideas and deeper customer relationships.

The big risk isn't robots stealing your work; it's falling behind if you don't adapt.

Automation isn't enough, human judgment, ethics, and creativity are more important than ever.

🇹🇳 CHINA’S AI SURGE COULD BOOST GDP, BUT NOT WITHOUT RISKS

Goldman Sachs now sees China adopting AI faster than expected, driven by breakthroughs like DeepSeek. If trends hold, AI could lift China’s GDP by 0.3 points annually by 2030, up from prior estimates.

Yet physical labor still dominates China’s workforce, limiting automation’s reach compared to the US.

AI adoption might front-load gains but cause short-term job shocks, especially in an already fragile labor market.

The workforce will shrink over the next 25 years, so Goldman says AI and robotics may become critical tools to support aging demographics and offset declining labor supply.

đŸ‡ș🇾 WALMART PINK SLIPS 1,500 SUITS: RETAIL GIANT SLIMS DOWN CORPORATE RANKS

Walmart is axing around 1,500 corporate jobs in a restructuring designed to trim expenses and speed up decision-making as the retail behemoth navigates tariff pressures and changing market conditions.

The cuts target global technology operations, e-commerce fulfillment managers, and Walmart Connect advertising teams - representing a tiny fraction of the company's 1.6 million U.S. workforce, most of whom work in stores.

Senior executives wrote in a staff memo:

"Reshaping our structure allows us to accelerate how we deliver and adapt to the changing environment around us"

The timing comes after Walmart said it would raise prices due to tariffs, prompting Trump to criticize the company publicly.

However, Walmart insists the layoffs "reflect a focus on business priorities and our growth strategy, and are not related to tariffs."

The retailer has been carefully managing labor costs while boosting wages for store workers and regional managers, using automation to reduce supply chain labor needs.

đŸ‡ș🇾 THE COST OF INDUSTRIALIZATION—A LOOK BACK AT U.S. MINING DEATHS

Everyone talks about bringing back industry, but few acknowledge why the U.S. deindustrialized in the first place.

This chart tells a brutal story: thousands of mining deaths per year, with fatality rates once exceeding 300 per 100,000 workers.

The Great Depression and WWII only made conditions worse.

It took decades of reforms, including the Federal Mine Safety Acts of 1969 & 1977, to bring fatality rates down—but by then, automation, outsourcing, and globalization were already shifting the economy.

Reindustrialization sounds great—until you remember the human cost of the first round.
