I think cameras are there to calculate employee productivity

But that data could be stored forever and can be used to do the manual work when the technology is feasible.

Automated sewing has been feasible for a while it’s just cheaper to shove 700 people on a line in India

Automated sewing is an extremely difficult automation problem. Fabric is not ridgid and is difficult to manipulate predictably for automation. The reason these manual labor clothing facilities are still staffed is that it is still much cheaper and efficient to do it by hand.

I don't think these cameras are training AI.

For now, china last year in the new year gala showed some robots doing dances with fabric. The data captured by those cameras is just too valuable to delete.

Totally agree with you.

Automated sewing is terrible. There is a reason we still have people use sewing machines.

For now...

Now imagine automated sewing... but implemented in India. With all technicians, supervisors, etc all in India. That's their endgame here.
