Looks like he thinks it's not a good idea.
I don't think Mister Crinkly understands automation. Perhaps he is more concerned with the impact to native peoples and their weekend cultures. I applaud that sort of humanitarianism but I believe it will not serve Mister Crinkly when describing the borg. Autonomous automation factories do not have weekends.
Of course, this later post of Mister Crinkly is a remediation of the severity, but nowhere near a realization of cause and effect and affectations for decades...

whereas IBM has new tech and it's mad and a long way toward autonomous and the "developers" are intended to be the "users" so why do they need "IT" when IT is the one quantity in software delivery and pricing that gums up the works... as it is carbon based.
