It’s depressing that bulls**t like this is still allowed to go unchallenged. When in the history of capitalism do companies, out of the goodness of their heart, find better paying jobs for workers they don’t need any more?
The only way CEOs call sell this shiny happy future of jobs being automated away, is to be allowed to get away with lies like this. It’s long past the point our politics deals with the reality of automation by AI/robots. It’s already happening, and it’s only going to accelerate.
Humanoid robots will take over factory jobs within 5 years, Xiaomi CEO says
All I’m saying is most companies aren’t close. Not by miles. Now in certain fields it may be true, i only contract in pharma and oral healthcare. 1 engineer/project manager with 17 projects all getting done half assed is the majority of what i see.
Thats the thing though. When engineering an assembly line or warehouse with rails its a big project. If a particular store can buy it and use it in short order it takes on a whole new dynamic. I kinda hope it brings back small stores and local offices.
