Right, but they're doing it because they believe they can make up the lost manpower through automation that won't be integrated enough to do so for another couple years. So they're going to overload their current employees even further than they likely already are and the product/s will continue to suffer and fall off.

This isn't happening in a vacuum, it's happening currently because they believe AI is far enough along to pick up the slack.

It's more due to AI and/or the expectation of automation being able to reduce the workforce before that actually gets set up functionally. Also that tech companies are doing it to try and kick back against people demanding their wages increase with cost of living, so game devs are piling onboard with layoffs for the same reason.

On the third hand it's pointless cause they all buy each other's data anyways.

I hated it at first but by the end I was singing it unironically.

In the military when learning ORM we called this the "swiss cheese" theory.

The more layers of sliced swiss cheese, the fewer holes that go all the way through.

Yeah like JFC the most insecure way to access the Internet let's just open it up to the whole world.

That's just not true, you'd have to completely rebuild your entire production facilities which would cost more in the long run than taking say... Boston Dynamics Atlas and hooking it up to an LLM trained on a specific task set.

Newer facilities could be built for the future where humans aren't involved at all, but in the interim making robots that move and manipulate objects like we do is still the better solution.

Depends on the job tbh, most robots would be better as tank treaded or quadrupeds, but to truly take over manual labor jobs they will have to have a functioning bipedal robot for at least a handful of use cases.

Sir, this is Lemmy. People treat the applications and hardware you use with ethical alignment and switching to FOSS literally has approval on the level of religious conversion.

It's no wonder people around here care so much about random people's opinions, the place practically filters for it.

Most people put sugar on grapefruit but I always put salt on it growing up because of the same chemistry. You don't really need to sweeten the fruit, you just need to halt the bitterness a tad bit and the flavor really opens up.
