“leaked” is anyone buying this? Seems like a self-serving rumor from a company that isn’t ready to go on record about plans for futuristic automation (wise as I don’t know if *any* recent developments in robotics or automation that would make this any more likely to happen now than ever) they know investors see a large workforce as a kind of liability and so they spread a rumor. (also they may hope it will scare the nacent trade union they have been developing)

Basically why is this a rumor? Why not brag about it? Automation is amazing when it finds the right applications. I do not doubt they are looking for ways to automate. But this idea that they are on the verge of replacing thousands of jobs but want to keep it a secret is very very silly.
