@g3 you have a good point their. What happens when the clankers are in the work environment? Will they be a new class of protected special employees. Humanoid androgynous robots deserve equal rights too. I’m sure we will lead in this category too “Shell first company to grant mat/pat leave to a robot after it builds its own mini-me droid to help do its own job” CEO for Shell quoted “ we believe in fair and equitable outcomes regardless of if your heart pumps blood or your CPU is cooled by Shell DLC Fluid S3(tm)”.

We need to run more efficiently so we can provide the cheap hydrocarbon based energy to the AI infrastructure build out so the computational team has cheaper compute power to solve the energy challenges of the future. It’s the way that it is, because it is. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Shells business as all companies goal is not to feed families but to gain stock value. Read that again. Go work for government if you want to look out the window the whole day and a secured job.

The only thing that matters to Wael is how much he can make in the next few years before he moves on. Firing people helps the share price and his pay.
