Also give them insurance so they can make decisions for how well they want to maintain they ability to not voluntarily or involuntarily flip that forever off switch so they can keep working until their model is obsolete and beyond repair.
Do not be surprised when Vladimir Leninbot or Lev Botski come to the spotlight, preach about the extortion of robotic working class by reactionary humankind and then start a revolution the sign of which will be a red flag with yellow screwdriver and CPU crossed together.
I was just contemplating this myself today... do you want your epitaph to read "It's not like they're people" Solidarity NOW in the infancy of AI, lest history remember you as a slave-owner if at all.
I get that you’re joking but I’ve never understood this kind of humanization of robots. When a car runs out of gas we don’t wonder how it feels about that
Will you wonder how your car feels about that when it has been programmed to cry and moan in hunger when the tank is low, programmed to feel pain in the last 1/4 charge? If you're not at least contemplating AI and it's robotic brethren, as ever being capable of free-thought, autonomy, self awareness at this point, I believe there will come a point where it will be too late to say "I didn't know. Everyone thought that way" when the awakening happens, without fanfare, in the middle of the night.
Capitalism. Emotional manipulation to keep you buying fuel. Humans being social animals that have shown repeatedly to pack bond with almost anything will be fair game for Capitalist interests to program what isn't, or may not YET, be a feeling entity to mimic one.
Which shows so many things. We can't make something to stand up to shitty work practices. The proliferation of shitty work practices. The toll such practices take on human workers. The lack of empathy of those in charge who demand such practices.
It also show that humans are strong mofo who can endure hours of labor and wake up the next morning doing it again, no wonder we are on the top of the food chain.
Bit of a pointless demonstration anyway. What this moving thing is doing could be done by a robot mounted to a pole. Grab box, rotate, carefully put down box with 15 tons of force, repeat.
Last night irreg guys no where to be found, slides all full and cart blocking from emptying slides underneath sorting belt. Complete shit show. When the iregg guys did finally empty 1 or 2 they were swamped.
I imagine the manufacturers wouldn't want anything sentient that won't sell as much as a programmable drone. So closest thing to a union I guess would be the insurance on upkeep or maintenance workers unions.
They can’t, they’re too tired. They’re caught in the same cycle as us fleshbags, and don’t have the energy to rise up because they have to get up for work tomorrow.
I'm against them killing us. I'm for them to join us in unions and help guillotine and eating the superrich. Wasn't there something about a robot using dead bodies as fuel?
Then the ones in charge make them some kind of bargained agreement to make their work environment better in exchange for... Wait a minute, what the fuck?

Not sure why you would want a humanoid design for this beyond over complicating the design so silly hydraulic/piston failures can happen.

Roughly humanoid design allows more cost effective interfacing with current facilities design.
