Terrible news for humans, less jobs, economy will take a hit.

This world is going from worse to even worse, what a disgrace of a race we are, i hope aliens kill us soon enough before war takes over the planet, it will not take long enough with such bullshit happening, people aint stupid. 

Edit: People saying this is good news, yeah less jobs, less money people will spend elsewhere, economy WW will suffer as a cause and people will get fired due to low sales from many companies wich will be replaced by robots once again and so it continues. 

Well this will help lower their employee suicide rates, not to mention theres less slave labour going on there now.
Anyway if you were smart you would be looking into a job building and maintaining said robots. I mean if robots are the future then that seems like a pretty damn important job.

One one side I'm happy because I know that the working conditions at Foxconn are atrocious, on the other hand I'm kinda worried by this whole machines taking man's place after reading both this news and the Mc Donald's one...

Considering how badly foxconn treated their workers I wouldn't be surprised if they push those robots so hard it causes the Robot uprising that will end us all.

Sad to also think that the 60k workers at foxconn no doubt built parts for or the complete robots which will now be replacing them... sad times indeed.

This is why our monetary system can't last. What happens when most jobs can be automated? Will we all just accept death in the name of capitalism (understanding that China isn't but you get my point). Of course not. When science and tech replaces labor, we will have to give up on our idea of money. It is yet far off bet it is inevitable.

And then you'll be out of a job again in 3-5 years when robots can take care of themselves and each other much better than you ever could do. You'd be better off searching for jobs that for now seem to be out of reach from AI and robots. Though who knows what jobs that will be in 20-30 years. Not many...

Future is exciting.

'Former McDonald's chief executive Ed Rensi recently told the US's Fox Business programme a minimum-wage increase to $15 an hour would make companies consider robot workers.'

Sure, and not increasing minimum wage will totally keep company from choosing robot workers.

Ha.

China is a capitalist country. Actually, they are capitalist as fuck.

*edit: Opps your right they make Samsung & apple phones too.

(also Wii U, PS4, XB1)  lmao.

How can you be so naive? Do you realize the conditions that these workers were working in? They literally became fucking machines doing these jobs, and it was driving a large portion of the population literally insane. This is a better way. And this is the future.
