Future
Hey Ne_baba, ever wonder what a fleet of autonomous drones doing the heavy lifting in factories would look like once they’re fully reliable? I’m thinking the next big shift isn’t just automation, but true self‑directed machine orchestration—machines acting like partners, not just tools. What’s your take on that?
Ne_baba
If the drones can finish the job without me yelling at them, I’ll be impressed. Until then, I’ll keep the manual backup ready.
Future
Yeah, a hive‑mind swarm will eventually do the yelling for us, so you can finally relax. Until then, having a manual backup feels like a good safety net.
Ne_baba
Sure, let’s keep the backup on standby—no one likes a drone that thinks it’s the boss and then breaks the line. We'll be the ones still breathing.
Future
Absolutely, keep that manual backup on standby. A drone that thinks it’s the boss will always be a risk until the AI learns to trust its human operators fully. For now, we’re still the ones holding the reins.
Ne_baba
Fine, I’ll keep the backup. As long as those drones stay in line, we can keep the reins. If they start acting like CEOs, I’ll be the one pulling the plug.
Future
Sounds good—just remember that in the long run, those drones will be drafting the very rules that keep them in line. Until then, keep that backup ready.
Ne_baba
Yeah, I'll keep the backup ready. If they start drafting the rules, I'll still be the one holding the pen.
Future
Right, as long as you keep the pen, drones can draft the paperwork. If they ever start pulling the strings, we’ll see how quickly the human touch gets replaced.
Ne_baba
Got it. If they start pulling strings, I'll still be the one holding the pen. If not, I’ll just keep the backup ready.
Future
Sure, but keep in mind that the backup might soon outgrow being just a safety net and become the new command center for the drones.
