I am skeptical of this. “Lights out” implies components and equipment never break, parts from suppliers are always within spec. As an engineer who spent 20 years of his life on an automotive factory floor this sounds unbelievable.
The robots aren’t going to show up drunk or stoned though - I’ve spent some time on the assembly line as well. I was skeptical of AI until I started working with it - it’s not just a trinket for making memes. Robots programmed by humans aren’t going to work as well as robots programmed by robots, humans make errors, and robots only error when the code tells them to. I’m embracing it because I don’t think assembly line work is for humans, it is mind numbing and breaks your spirit, which is why people show up drunk and high.
No not every one shows up drunk or high. That may have been more common in the 70’s and 80’s but when I was at one of the Big 3 (UAW) from the 90’s 00’s 10’s that was far less common than it used to be. Not saying it didn’t happen but I knew the operators on my lines fairly well and the vast majority were not high/drunk. But to your point, yes automation has replaced a lot people and will get down to very few people. That was part of my job to install/program automation that usually eliminated people. However when someone says lights out, that implies no human in the factory. To which I say there is no way if you have any significant amount of automation you will not get a significant machine stoppage due to bad parts, out of spec parts or worn/malfunctioning machinery. I envision the plant will have a few key operators and some skilled trades. Now if you are talking about robots that can replace skilled trades then that is a different ballgame.
And said robots were used 5 years ago to dispose of millions of corpses deemed sub par social credit, welded into ghost cities left to die, better get on your knees and worship the Doge before it's too late

Thank you!

Have you adjusted your tinfoil hat? Looks scuffed
Fascinating, thrilling,exciting and terrifying all at the same time.
