“Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and adjusting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product,” said Charles Poon, VP of vehicle hardware engineering, in a briefing this week with reporters.

According to Poon, some of the company’s most experienced personnel left before all of their accumulated knowledge could be fully transferred into Ford’s automated systems. That necessitated bringing back some of those employees to retrain those systems...

See this, nothing was learned by these slop-shits. Their take away wasn't humans-with-experience > than slop-bots. It was, unfortunately, 'we didn't extract enough knowledge from the humans that helped build our company before tossing as many humans away as possible. Once we've extracted enough, we'll try again.'

Fuck you poon and co.

Funny how the capitalist narrative is that the CEO types "deserve" all they get because they worked hard and "built the company", but employee's that've been equally there for it's hardship and growth, actually with their hands in the mud, actually have all the practical knowledge, yet are only on an income, are tossed aside at the nearest convenience because somebody smelled a bit more money.

Some of them really can't be arsed to give back the community and systems that allowed them to flourish in the first place can they.

Locust swarm.

Sometimes I feel so blessed working for somebody that actually values people.

Let's hope the humans learned their lesson and won't teach the systems.
