Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

it is happening in China :) https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/manufacturing/chinese-companys-dark-factory-will-no-human-workers-soon-be-the-norm/news-story/9468c5bc380108deba4e55a95d6c28d4
Throughout the human history and even just my lifetime big turning points has always been "coming soon" and vast majority never happened. Look at the predictions about year 2000 made in 1960's. No flying cars anywhere.
As an automation engineer I won't hold my breath. Maintenance will never be outsourced to sensors and cameras. They lack the ability to understand anything about mechanical wear.

I've also seen Youtube videos from China, where EV batteries are changed under 5 minutes. Haven't seen those with my own eyes and they didn't care to bring them into Europe and serve throughout the -22 Fahrenheit or -30 Celsius winter so no real world value.
You do seem to envy China so much, why don't you move there so you could enjoy digital communism in reality?
Because abandoning everything and moving half way across the world is not as easy as imbeciles think it is.
Homo Sapiens has moved across the world since the dawn of floating boats way before maps existed.
That's an amazing counterpoint I have never considered. Thank you for your brilliant insights!
