Amazon puts workers in cage? What! I didn't know the servitors working there were still considered humans.

Amazon has patented a system that would put workers in a cage, on top of a robot

Amazon says it never implemented the technology and has no plans to, but the design appeared to be an effort to allow humans to safely enter robot-only zones in Amazon’s highly-automated depots to make repairs or pick up dropped objects.

What the fuck does "putting workers in cages on top of robots" even mean? Nothing, and the explanation provided makes sense. You could come up with terrible descriptions for totally boring uninteresting things at most jobs.

With Amazon burning books, latching on to a fake news "workers rights" story is a totally wrong headed angle of attack.
