This reminds me of the guy in my town. He used to work on a factory line and was worried about losing his jobs to automatisation, so he decided to try to build his own packaging robot.
He failed, can you believe it? And automatisation never happened either, technology never advanced and he is still at that factory hand packing boxes 30 years later!!!
Just goes to show that if you don’t have the know-how, it’s really easy to show that it can’t be done and you instantly keep your job forever.
Middle managers like to pitch automated assembly options, and new factory construction will always include them. But the moment upper management looks at repair of maintaince costs on those automated systems, they go right back to paying someone $24 an hour to do that

That’s besides my point. My job isn’t safe simply because I myself can’t build the AI to do it. This tweet isn’t saying anything.
