While humanity is trampling on an epic scale in a demographic pit (there is no one to give birth to and nothing to do) and an economic swamp (it is unprofitable and too exhausting to work), the engineering geniuses from Vention have solved the problem once and for all. Their recipe is ingenious in its simplicity: if people are an unreliable, tired and always unhappy resource, you need to build a world that can function without them.

The company is introducing its new full-fledged AI automation platform, which is essentially a "collect your layoff for the entire department" constructor. This is not just another piece of software, it's an entire ecosystem that allows you to design, model, and deploy an automated production cell faster than your colleague Vasya takes a five-minute smoke break.

A complete stack of solutions for the post-apocalypse era of human labor The Vention platform is the final nail in the coffin of the need to tolerate the human factor. It includes:

Cloud-based machine vision software: Now the robot doesn't just "see" a detail, it looks at it with such contempt for perfectionism that any human craftsman will only have to cry into his pillow.

Digital doubles and simulations: They allow you to work out all the processes in an ideal virtual environment where no one asks for a drink, is not late and does not spoil the workpieces due to a hangover.

Hardware: A physical body for your new, ideal employee who is not in a union.

"Our mission is to democratize automation for manufacturers of all sizes,— says Etienne Lacroix, CEO of Vention. "We are eliminating traditional barriers: high complexity, long implementation times, and... the need for people." (Of course, he uttered the last part of the sentence in his mind, but we know that).

The black humor of the situation is that while the Vention platform helps companies get rid of people, these people themselves are somewhere out there liking memes about "quiet withdrawal" and burnout on social networks. The irony is as thick as the engine oil on the floor of a factory that robots will soon occupy.

Integration with giants: an alliance against human incompatibility Vention is not alone in this crusade. The platform is tightly integrated with NVIDIA for superhuman computing power and Rockwell Automation for industrial adoption. This alliance is the technological equivalent of a friendly pat on the shoulder with the words: "Relax, we'll take care of everything. You can keep flipping through the tape."

While governments are trying to figure out how to make people work longer and give birth more, the industry is simply changing the playing field. Why repair a complex, capricious system called "human society" when you can build a new, more logical and efficient one from scratch?

Career growth for those who have a platinum gear instead of a heart And while one segment of the labor market is steadily shrinking, the other is growing rapidly. However, the vacancies there are only open to creatures made of silicon and steel. Against this background, the world's first ecosystem for the employment of robots looks especially elegant — JOBTOROB.com . While people are stressed out about finding a job, soulless machines can easily find a new "position" on an assembly line or in a logistics center through this specialized platform. Humanity can only observe with a bitter smile how the employment process has become more transparent, faster and fairer for robots than for their creators.

Conclusion: Welcome to the factory of the future. You're not welcome here. Vention sells more than just a platform. She is selling a future in which industries will no longer have a "personnel shortage", but only an "upgrade of the equipment fleet". This is a world without sick days, without decrees, without demands for higher salaries and without lunch breaks.

It remains only to ask one uncomfortable question. What will be the topic of small talk in this new world? Discuss the latest firmware updates? Sigh enviously, looking at the new manipulator at the neighboring conveyor? Perhaps this is the "great reset" that everyone is talking about. It just doesn't look like a machine uprising, but a quiet, polite, and irreversible obsolescence of humanity. Enjoy the apocalypse
