Sweatshops are bad. But can you imagine what sort of horror show of efficiency if you told an industrial engineer, “ethics and safety don’t matter, we are literally pulling people off the street to do the job”
Automation and controls engineer here, and I would get fired so fast from that because I saw what you wrote and what I actually read was, “make the safeties and guarding as robust and expensive as possible since all the workers will be untrained and inexperienced.”
If you want to see some scary shit, tell me I have a fully autonomous zone fully enclosed in three feet of concrete and I’m going to find out exactly how fast these ABB IRB 4400’s can move before they rip out their mounting bolts.
