You won't believe what they're doing in China.

This is the Chinese port in Guangzhou.

People unload ships remotely with 5G, AND THEN, AI vehicles automatically drive the containers to trucks and load them, without human assistance.

Excerpt from the following article,

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/29/business/port-strike-automation-dockworkers.html

On the day in April 1956 when local officials gathered at the Port of Newark to watch the departure of the first container vessel, they celebrated a milestone in American industrial efficiency.​

​

But a top official at the International Longshoremen’s Association, the union that represented East Coast dockworkers, looked on in horror, according to newspaper accounts of the day, and said he would like to sink the ship — using an expletive to underscore his point.​

​

That same union is now threatening to strike at Newark and more than a dozen other major ports that collectively handle roughly half the imports reaching the United States. Among the key issues holding up a new contract, which expires on Monday, is disagreement over the pace and scope of automation.​

The irony of a communist country using automation instead of labor and the capitalists torchbearer having labor strikes for trying to do the same.
