        @mims @WSJ You or editors are joking with this headline? Late 19th century automation as the only real example? Would be lol except tragic.

        this would be counter-intuitive, which also means it's probably 100% wrong.

        Twitter is not the place to discuss such a big subject, even if it is part of the discussion. Can't fully express clear thoughts.
