My cynical view of this is that it's the final death knell for industrial work. Why hire someone with experience or talent when you just need a warm body to follow the ikea instructions and turn screws?
It reminds me of the dystopian short story "Manna"[1] where all workers wear a Google Glass like device and an AI controls them.

- throwawaybbq1 9y agoLoved that story. We can even dream of the ending (with bitcoin, ether and dao's .. haha!). The first version of Glass was utter crap and felt like a waste of money (I'm surprised they didn't get sued by purchasers). I won't trust them again as a developer. Frankly, they should allow devs to exchange their hw for the new one for free or a significant discount. If they did that, I'd look at their platform. Else, I'm out.
