Nothing wrong with implementing robotics. Tax the companies and implement UBI

Capitalism selecting for whatever it takes to make a dollar.

if you have to ask then maybe you suck as much as the situation you're a part of

The reconning is going to be epic

It's a model robotised factory. The staff were temporary hires to set up the assembly area.

You guys do know that other countries are running dark factories right? No humans on the production floors, lights don't even need to be on, that's the kind of thing we're up against. Should also mention that it's not AI, this is just base automation.

I love how they've tried to give them a shiny new name in the hope people will assume they're something different and magical?

The term "collaborative robots" or "cobots" conjures images of a humanoid robot working as part of the team.

Instead it sounds like they have a waldo with a camera on the end that is using Gen AI to look for faults.

They fired the staff because no one wants their shitty cars.

GM makes the shittest cars and will be dominated by chynah anyways. Thanks boomers

To be clear, if we are in a fight for humanity, cars need to be eliminated.

The automation problem is older than """AI""". See: https://www.currentaffairs.org/2021/06/the-luddites-were-right

I'm still saying: if a machine replaces human jobs those machines should pay the income tax those lost jobs made. For rest of their existence.
This would make them think twice and pay back to society at the same time.
And ATMs in banks count as a machine also,same with AI chatbots and answering service.

Wall Street Journal, 📺 China’s Dark Factories: So Automated, They Don't Need Lights
