Earth, for now
I had posted this over in the General section YT thread, remove this if felt needed.
But, there will be some more saner members here who do not venture into the mirky waters of that section, beware of monsters and all that....


even with such automation, there is still the need for people, at this point. Possibly more than in the AIO video I posted over in the water-cooling section, showing the production of those.

Added a PC case manufacturing video.......guess where I posted that :D

What are the chances that, for such work it is a actually simply economically superior to pay for dirty cheap Chinese labour than for robots and their maintenance?

:edit: after watching the entire video, it does seem that humans are used wherever precision is actually not needed, mainly to install larger components and to pass the work flow between the automation steps. Not saying they're not "needed", but there's a subtle difference between being used for economic purposes and them being "needed" vs automation.

Completely agree.

I watched a YT short video noting, showing videos, that prisoners were used to process bulbs of garlic into the cloves or chopped type. Kinda gross, but some who go on to lose their fingernails used their teeth to bite off the roots. 15 or 16 hours a day for pence each month of labour.
It also covered the production of Christmas tree lights.
The conditions there were pretty
grim.

Ugh, Merry Christmas eh! Very interesting video nonetheless, and funny that I (and I presume many others in this "knowledge work" economy) would find that sort of work quite therapeutic, to a point :p

:edit: just rewatching a bit and noted at least on person digitally challenged... Unsure if that is genetic/from birth or caused by an injury but I suppose it cements even further the fact that the requirement for humans is in fact economic rather than any sort of quality aspect.
