    You are so wrong I dont have simple words to describe it.

    I’m a controls engineer who literally installs automation systems. AI is mostly useless in our industry, Claude barely scratches the surface of what we do. The coding is somewhat simple. The problem is how difficult the physical interaction is.

    Having worked with Chinese controls people, they arent any better than the US engineers often they are significantly worse. No idea why. The guys from Mexico are way better from my experience.

        Half of our contractors flew in from Mexico for my current project. Its like 70/30 with them for good/bad. Which is better than basically any installers I’ve worked with previously.

        China in my experience is slavery painted over with the word automation. Any work I’ve done over there has an insane amount of obscurity to hide the slavery.

        Wtf are you talking about. We do use ML for basic maintenance predictions. In general it’s useless though.

        I’m awake during a fuckin maintenance window right now. You know literally nothing about automation based on how you talk about it.
