Report: Apple Demands Suppliers Switch to Robotics for Manufacturing

[Shirasaki]

As corporations increasingly move to doing without employees, eventually they'll wonder why few can afford to be customers.

And without customers, corporations can’t survive. Even B2B require business customers.
Unfortunately, literally no one among the riches realises that, let alone doing anything about it. Would be funny if the entire world only has 200,000 richest people and the rest are all robots.

Honestly I don’t have anything positive to say about current AI advancement at all, only to serve a handful of powerful individuals to satiate their greed and desire for total control.

Nobody should be excited.

Anyone that is probably just assumes it won’t have negative impacts for themselves.

Focusing on some potential shorter term benefits for oneself will ultimately prove to be a big mistake here.

Anything to further increase their exorbitant profit margins...

I think they all realise it but they don't care. they're shooting for ebitda now and hoping that something will come along.

This is unfortunately the correct answer.
It's never more obvious than during an economic downturn (like right now) where to keep things as profitable on paper as the last few boom years, companies are willing to sacrifice anything, employees, quality, goodwill, to appease their shareholders.
It usually would come back to bite them in future years but what really happens is every company does it; and the ones that don't die of attrition; so ultimately they succeed and the biggest loser is the consumer/society.

Real life tragedy of the commons.

I'd totally start watching a tv show where they put a couple dozen corporate executives on a desert island with no supplies. The backstabbing would start within the first 5 minutes.

Actually, I would also watch this ..

It'd be fun to see what a bunch of babies they probably are.
