💻 **Why This MIT Professor Says We Need to Act Fast to Keep AI From Stealing Our Jobs**

“_If certain AI tools are better than human workers, or significantly cheaper, or can do the work of three former staff under the supervision of, say, one human fact-checker, some jobs will be lost to AI automation._”

Hey #MacAdmins! 👋

I'm excited to share Cloud AutoPkg Runner, a tool I built to boost your AutoPkg workflows with an emphasis on improving CI/CD workflows. 🚀

A not inconsiderable amount of time each day goes in to counting M2 x 6 mm cap head Allen bolts in to groups of 6. Does anyone know of a way to automate or make this easier? Happy to build something.

That's Late Stage Capitalism - China Style ->

"China still dominates shoe production, but its share of global exports has slipped by 10 percentage points over the past decade, with much of that going to rival hubs like Vietnam and Indonesia, according to the Yearbook.

Zhou’s plant now employs fewer than 20 workers. “The future is bleak and hopeless if we continue like this,” says Zhou from his showroom in a mostly empty wholesale market in a Guangzhou suburb focused on international trade. “It would be difficult to return to how it was before.”

Factories across China at the low-end of manufacturing are facing the same dilemma — either they invest in automation that shrinks the number of jobs, or they slowly wither away.

The result, in the view of researchers and economists, is a painful shift away from low-cost, labour-intensive production that could leave millions of older, lower skilled workers in the lurch.

Analysis of 12 labour-intensive manufacturing industries between 2011 and 2019 by academics at Changzhou University, Yancheng Teachers University and Henan University found that average employment shrank by roughly 14 per cent, or nearly 4mn roles, between 2011 and 2019. Roles in the textile industry shrank 40 per cent over the period.

An FT analysis of the same 12 sectors between 2019 and 2023 found a further decline of 3.4mn jobs."

So langsam wie der arbeitet, sind die #Früchte an den #Bäumen vergammelt, bis sie geerntet sind.

Dieser #Greifer nutzt zwei rotierende #Bänder, um empfindliche #Früchte schonend zu pflücken. Entwickelt von der UC San Diego, ist der GRIP-Tape einfach konstruiert, flexibel einsetzbar und benötigt keine aufwendige Sensorik.

Künftig soll der Greifer mit #KI autonom arbeiten. Na dann: Viel Glück.

Eine Sache, die Home Assistant übrigens um Welten besser macht als ioBroker ist die Zuordnung von Automationen zu Geräten. 🙏 Diese schlichte Information, in welchen Automationen ein Gerät enthalten ist, kann so viele Minuten an Suchen ersparen. Insbesondere bei einer großen Menge von Automationen. ⚙️ Heute konnte ich so zum Beispiel innerhalb von Minuten eine passende Automation finden und anpassen. Ohne langes Suchen! Was ein Glück! 🍀 #HomeAssistant #ioBroker #SmartHome #Automation

reading about history of computing (for reasons), i got the thought: i wonder if i can predict the next "big society-shifting invention" (ala printing press, cameras, computers, etc...).

my prediction is a self-assembling objects "oven";
assume you have components of eg a chair, but too lazy to put them together, you just let it self-assemble itself.
