Explanation of AI Unemployment in Factorio
nishio What happens when the production efficiency (output per raw material) of a production unit increases is that if there is enough demand downstream, the efficiency simply increases, but if there is not If there is not enough demand downstream, efficiency will simply increase, but if there is not, downstream inventories will build up, conveyor belts will fill up, and the utilization rate of that production equipment will decrease. nishio As a result, the demand for raw materials will drop, leading to dabbling in upstream networks, which will need to be diverted to other uses. nishio The conversion of raw materials to products is connected like several loops in a chain, and the front loop is the conversion device that "pays labor costs and gets white-collar hours, Depending on the game rules, it may or may not be possible to turn off a conversion device that is no longer needed.

yuiseki_ If we put ourselves in the manager's shoes and think about it based on Japan's layoff regulations, unemployment due to AI will start with "I got fired all of a sudden! I think it will start with "decrease in employment demand", i.e. "deterioration of the job market".... otsune Satisfactory In the phase of building a nuclear power plant at otsune Satisfactory, it will be necessary to calculate the production volume of upstream material processing and intermediate assembly efficiency to prevent the warehouse inventory from accumulating. (because the HP will decrease due to the radioactivity of the large plutonium warehouse). ---
nishio I'm not sure if yesterday's "people who are thinking 0/1 like "AI will take our jobs away" should do Factorio to improve their understanding of the system. I'm not sure if you got my point about "I think we should do Factorio to (abruptly)", I was talking about the need to divert upstream resources to other purposes if there's not enough demand downstream. ...... >nishio: White-collar workers who have been underutilized, have the option of agility in the form of picking up overflowing balls, taking on voluntary dual roles, creating new departments, etc., and I feel that strongly tying them down with job descriptions will hinder this, and that allowing individual workers to move within the company company-wide information Sharing information across the company that allows individuals to move within the company may be important for agility in the age of AI. ---
