Developers say the device uses lasers to mechanise the last laborious task that until now has relied on manual workers.

        Two people walk into one another carrying identical “FUCK AUTOMATION” signs but with very very different meanings

    Westerners will now say the automation is being used to deprive the Uyghur workers of jobs in order to genocide them.

    This isn’t a joke, that’s what will be the narrative after slave labor.

      Considering the average Westerner doesn’t know shit about China, and the Western MSM doesn’t report on these sort of technological innovations, they’ll stick with the slave labor narrative a little longer, despite it making even less sense than before.

      Yeah, sure, enslaved people are freed, but at what cost?

    If this can be implemented for other types of plant picking it’ll end an awful job role nobody wants to do.

      a lot of it could probably already be automated but (largely marginalised, undocumented) human labour is cheaper than getting all of that set up, at least on a yearly basis

        Firms that sell or lease robots will tend to have more bargaining power than any worker who isn’t in a strong union. How long can they undercut the most desperate of humans before investors expect more?

    These are the kinds of applications where it truly makes sense to use AI. Applications where the task is narrowly defined, and where failure only means a reduction in yield.
