Uh oh! if your job is slowly taking a box from a shelf semi-successfully, you better watch out!

The growth of capabilities will likely be exponential. Small box today, larger box tomorrow, exterminating all human lifeforms by Thursday, relax on Friday as robot overlords have instituted a 4 day work week.

I work in an environment like that. The bar is very low, it wouldn't take much to beat some humans at the job. Plus the robots can work 24/7 and don't (yet) complain about stuff. No HR or OSHA needed either.
