>>13598394>corporations want bigger profits so it is not enough to just sell a product, you have to control the entire ecosystem around the product.And you get bigger profits by reducing production costs. Such as with automation. Even mining has become more or less automated at this point.
>Why do tractor companies want to give farmers the power to choose which servicing, parts, automation or predictive maintenance monitoring solutions when they can use their power to capture second markets with their own in-house software?>Why don't farmers just automate it themselvesWell okay, but you once again prove my point.
>>13598408>The world has been progressively building ever changing legislation to combat retarded anti-competitive behavior since the dawn of industrialization....like I said, if it weren't for bureaucracy, unions and their pensions, it all would have been automated by now. They purposefully lose efficiency, productivity and time by substituting automation with flawed humans. Were in not for these laws, GMC would have fired every union swabbie they had decades ago and maybe wouldn't have gone bankrupt. In fact the only reason it kept going after bankruptcy was once again because of bureaucratic nonsense and they got bailed out.

>>13600292>So to train and maintain these machines to create a good or service useful to humans, you need humans to continuously feed it and correct it.>So like all our time and power would go to being creative and inventive Would be nice but no we gotta whine for our $15 an hour wage cage rage.
>Think about it this way, imagine if machines gained sentience and developed their own ecosystem. This would not necessarily be useful to human unless we can direct it someway by humans.Which would be astronomically better than me coming home with a hurt back.
