We saw this coming when we met
FRIDA, and now it's apparently happening. According to
Xinhuanet, Foxconn's founder and chairman chose a workers' party last Friday night to reveal plans for a surge in the company's robot contingent. There'll be 300,000 robots in operation by next year and a
swarm-like 1,000,000 within three years -- versus just 10,000 today. The bots will be required to spray, weld and not
kill themselves. We can only imagine how this news went down at the party, but soon stuff like that will hardly matter.
