  • They’re fucked if the last assembly line worker quit before their jobs can be automated.

    It’s the same process that nazi Ford started over a century ago. Every new factory is built to be run with less workforce.

    Specifically for repairs, most diagnostics is literally just running a diagnostic program.

    I’ve always thought that was the one place AR glasses would really take off. A repair program would just tell the human where to look (like the pigeon guided bombs of old) and could just pop up instructions if something needs physically manipulated.

    Like, if your familiar with the bicameral mind theory, it would take over the high level instructions and leave the human to do the fine aspects that it can’t handle yet.

    But still…

    That would mean less humans with jobs, and the jobs would be much lower pay.







  • It’s one of those things where we shortened a phrase and then it stopped making logical sense.

    “The three musketeers” werent just musketeers who carried muskets.

    They were “the king’s musketeers”. They were elite special forces as well as the personal bodyguard for the King. The best of the best. The “musketeer” part was the common bit, it just sounds fancy centuries later.

    But the book might as well be called “The Kingsguard”
