So why is everyone trying to rapidly import the third world to do this labor?
We don't need low IQ violent idiots to do labor (they won't do it anyway, they are all on benefits). We just need to innovate away the simple tedious tasks. Yeah, I know this is still unpopular but having jobs to just have jobs is stupid.

>While the world has spent years fearing a dystopian future where robots take over our cities, it turns out the reality of the robotic revolution is far more mundane—and strangely hypnotic. This week, the most compelling content on the internet wasn't a celebrity scandal or a blockbuster trailer; it was a livestream of a metallic, bipedal machine picking up small boxes and putting them on a belt.
Starting on a Wednesday morning in San Jose, Figure AI, a startup now commanding a valuation near $40 billion, decided to pull back the curtain. They didn't release a polished, edited commercial. Instead, they flipped on a camera and let their humanoid robots work a continuous shift that stretched past the 30-hour mark. It was a high-stakes public audition for a machine that many hope—or fear—will soon be the foundational worker in the global supply chain.
