Very interesting, Jack. I watched the whole thing. It jibes with my longer-term view that just about ALL jobs will one day vanish - cashiers first, but all other jobs eventually - and we will all be put onto universal basic income.

It sounds crazy, but I think it's inevitable.

This isn't a good thing unless you're a lazy bum like clo. Universal basic income will keep us fed, but maybe not fed WELL. Without jobs, there will be little opportunity to prosper.

Thanks for the link.

Eventually, Amazon will put it's 'cashier-less' tech in the Whole Foods stores. Check out this (ahem) exploration of the pilot Amazon Go store:
