Amazon's Robot Workforce Hits Ominous Milestone

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Amazon now has more than one million robots operating inside its warehouses, nearly equaling the number of human workers. Amazon's expanding fleet of robots includes: Hercules, a lifter capable of handling 1,250 pounds; Pegasus, which sorts packages on conveyor belts; and Proteus, the company's first fully autonomous robot able to operate directly alongside people. The robots are especially productive in same-day delivery hubs where fewer human workers are employed and speed is crucial.

An Amazon logo is displayed outside an Amazon Delivery Station on April 25, 2025 in San Diego, a new report, the Wall Street Journal wrote, "Robots are also supplanting some employees, helping the company to slow hiring. "Amazon employs about 1.56 million people overall, with the majority working in warehouses. "The average number of employees Amazon had per facility last year, roughly 670, was the lowest recorded in the past 16 years, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis, which compared the company's reported workforce with estimates of its facility count." As per TechRadar, Amazon has claimed that productivity in these high-tech facilities is roughly 25% faster than in traditional warehouses. Amazon's Robotics Solutions In a statement to Newsweek, an Amazon spokesperson said, "Our robotics solutions are designed to automate tasks in an effort to continue improving safety, reducing repetition, and freeing our employees up to deliver for customers in more skilled ways. "Since introducing robots within Amazon's operations, we've continued to hire hundreds of thousands of employees to work in our facilities and created many new job categories worldwide, including positions like flow control specialists, floor monitors, and reliability maintenance engineers." The Expansion of AI In a press release, Amazon's VP of Robotics Scott Dresser explained that a new generative artificial intelligence (AI) Model will help the company increase robot mobility by 10%. "Called DeepFleet, this AI technology will coordinate the movement of robots across our fulfillment network, improving the travel time of our robotic fleet by 10% and enabling us to deliver packages to customers faster and at lower costs," Dresser noted. "These robots work alongside our employees, handling heavy lifting and repetitive tasks while creating new opportunities for our front-line operators to develop technical skills. "I'm particularly proud that since 2019, we've helped upskill more than 700,000 employees through various training initiatives, many focused on working with advanced technologies." 'We will need fewer people' At the same time, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy offered a more direct message in a letter to employees, warning that the expansion of AI across the company will lead to a leaner corporate workforce. In the letter, cited by Newsweek, he wrote, "As we roll out more Generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done. "We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs." Critics Say Worker Cuts Are About Cost, Not Innovation Jassy's statement drew criticism from labor advocates and consultants who believe Amazon is prioritizing cost-cutting over employment. Speaking with Newsweek, Human Resources consultant Bryan Driscoll said, "The letter reads as a masterclass in spin. And this move isn't about leaner teams or working smarter. "It's about replacing human labor with machines - employees without the headache of dealing with humans, wages, benefits, and compliance." He added, "The company openly admits AI will reduce its total workforce but frames that as a net gain for customer experience - at least from those customers who can still afford to buy things. "What it actually means is that tens of thousands of people will lose their jobs not because they weren't performing, but because they can be replaced by a cheaper worker." Newsweek has contacted Amazon for comment via email. Newsweek's "What Should I Do?" offers expert advice to readers.

Hercules

One of theatre's greatest mysteries is how Disney literally made the most successful musical of all time and then proceeded to learn absolutely nothing from it. Virtuoso director Julie Taymor included all the dumb stuff required by the Mouse in her version of The Lion King – farting warthogs, basically – but nonetheless crafted an audacious and iconic production that departed radically from the aesthetic of the film and is still in theatres today. Subsequent Disney musicals like Aladdin and Frozen aren't bad, but they take zero risks – effectively just plonking the film onstage – and are not in theatres today. And here comes Hercules, the next in the megacorp's long line of perfectly adequate, not very imaginative adaptations of its bountiful '90s animated roster. Book of Mormon director Casey Nicholaw's production is good looking and high energy. Robert Horn and Kwame Kwei-Armah's book is appropriately big hearted with a handful of very funny gags. The show's not-so-secret weapon is the retention of the film's sassy quintet of singing Muses. Here turbocharged into a full-on gospel group, they're a whole lot of finger snapping, head shaking, quick-changing fun, and also add a note of character to Alan Menken's likeable but unremarkable Alan Menken-style score. Hercules is a unit of generic Disney stage entertainment However, the Muses are also symptomatic of the fact that the show's Ancient Greece comes across as a reskinned small-town America, without having any comment to make on small-town America. Everyone has American accents, and does American things: the notoriously vindictive goddess Hera is reimagined as a twinkly-eyed all-American mom. While there's a vague nod to Hellenistic art, there were endless opportunities to have done something visually audacious and aesthetically interesting, and they were all passed upon. Sure, The Lion King does insist on the accents, but Taymor's production is pointedly steeped in vivid pan-African aesthetics. Here, Dane Laffrey's sets and George Reeves's video design are often impressive, but they never don't look like a themed restaurant (to be fair, one scene is actually set in a themed restaurant). All that accepted, it's a sturdy action-adventure romp that absolutely does the trick and is eminently worth taking The Kids to during the hols. It begins when Hercules is born to chief gods Zeus and Hera (classical scholars, just sit this one out). The infant is set to enjoy a heavenly existence on Mount Olympus until Stephen Carlile's enjoyably batshit Hades strips away the baby's immortality. Cast out of Olympus and raised by a human single mother, Luke Brady's adult Hercules belatedly discovers his divine parentage and resolves to become a hero, dragging Trevor Dion Nicholas's gruff warrior trainer Phil out of retirement to assist him. Heroic exploits follow: the special effects aren't groundbreaking, but they're good fun, especially the setpiece battle between Hercules, Phil and a many-headed puppet hydra. Brady is a boyish and likeable lead. His permawhite smile is bigger than his pecs – but it's kind of the point that he's not a beefcake, but rather an affable young man bewildered by his own strength. Mae Ann Jorolan gives good 'sassy love interest' as Hercules's sassy love interest, who is called Meg for some reason. They have a particularly great scene together where Meg is lecturing the smitten young man about how it's misogynist to assume she needs his help, and he keeps beatifically zoning out to sing about how hot she is. It's all absolutely fine, and accepting it's not a screechingly ambitious piece of work then perhaps all it really lacks is a big showstopper moment. The songs are solid, but there's no 'Circle of Life'/'A Whole New World'/'Let It Go'-style megabanger. Carlile's Hades turning into a much bigger puppet version of himself in the final showdown almost does the trick visually, but the scene as a whole is a muddle: it's unclear where the climactic battle between the gods is happening, or why it happens when it does, and the combat is pretty wishy washy until the afore-mentioned giga-puppet turns up. Disney musicals have vast budgets and The Lion King is an ongoing reminder that even staying within the lines of the IP, bold creatives can achieve something special with that dosh. Hercules, though, is one unit of generic Disney stage entertainment. It has charm, because it's adapted from a charming film and talented people have made it, but it's definitely not going to go down in legend.

Fluminense stun Inter Milan

Fluminense sent Inter Milan packing from the Club World Cup on Monday with a 2-0 win in Charlotte that took the Brazilian side through to the quarter-finals. German Cano's header from close range gave Fluminense an early lead and they then withstood an onslaught from the Italian side in the second half before substitute Hercules sealed their victory late on. The Rio de Janeiro outfit, who qualified for the Club World Cup thanks to their Copa Libertadores triumph in 2023, become the second Brazilian side to make the last eight after Palmeiras had already sealed their quarter-final spot. Captained by 40-year-old former Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea centre-back Thiago Silva, 'Flu' will now go to Orlando for a tie on Friday against either Manchester City or Al-Hilal. It is the latest victory for a Brazilian team against prestigious European opposition at the tournament in the United States, after Botafogo defeated PSG and Flamengo got the better of Chelsea in the group stage. Inter came to the US off the back of their 5-0 defeat by PSG in the UEFA Champions League final at the end of May and with a new coach in Cristian Chivu. They did not fully convince during the group stage despite topping their section and they found themselves trailing inside three minutes before only just over 20,000 fans at the Bank of America Stadium on another hot afternoon. A cross from the Fluminense right by Jhon Arias took a deflection off Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni and the ball then bounced awkwardly before veteran Argentine striker Cano arrived to head in through the legs of goalkeeper Yann Sommer from close range. Ignacio thought he had made it 2-0 before the interval, only for his effort to be ruled out for offside. Sommer then tipped a fine curling strike by Arias around the post just after the hour mark, before Inter began to turn up the pressure in an attempt to avoid exiting the competition.

Disney's live-action Hercules set to drop wildly unpopular plot twist

Legions of die-hard Disney fans were sent into a frenzy after rumors that the live-action remake of a 1997 classic would deviate significantly from the original story. Since it was first announced, the upcoming Hercules film has been plagued by fan fury over reports of modernising the iconic soundtrack through to a shift in who the protagonist will be. It was the latter of these that has ruffled feathers the most, with sibling producers the Russo Brothers reportedly at odds with Disney over the story's direction. The pair allegedly wanted to put villain Hades at the centre of the story, and tell it from his perspective instead of flame-haired Herc himself. Guy Ritchie has formally signed on to direct In a 2022 Variety interview , Joe Russo teased fans with news that their take on Hercules, with Guy Ritchie on board as director, would be "a little bit more experimental in tone, a little bit more experimental in execution," adding: "I think they're excited to see what we can all bring to it in a way that isn't just a reinterpretation of the animated film." He also shared that they would use TikTok as inspiration, telling the publication: 'Audiences today have been trained by TikTok, right? What is their expectation of what that musical looks like and feels like? That can be a lot of fun and help us push the boundaries a little bit on how you execute a modern musical." However, irked fans can breathe a sigh of a relief as a recent Q&A with a Disney insider appeared to put rumors of a focus on Hades to bed once and for all. Skyler Shuler who runs The DisInsider was asked if the remake focussing on the villain was true. The original film released in 1997 (Image: Walt Disney) He said that the current plan was for the film to be a "faithful adaptation" of the original animation, especially in the wake of reception to the recent live-action Lilo & Stitch remake which featured an ending that deviated from its source material. The original Hercules generated $252 million at the box office upon its release after being made on an $85 million budget. It was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, and followed half-god Hercules (Tate Donovan) as he lived among humans after being snatched as a baby by Hades (James Woods). A release date for the live-action Hercules remake is yet to be announced
