We will eventually get to a point where designis automated too

Where the limit is resources rather than ambition

Not sure if you speak from experience or not but you're right about the process being more automated, but it's hard to say if safety is going to be a priority, vs time to market

Dev cycles already have corners cut like crazy

Imagine your electronics having the same weird bugs as your average Web 2.0 nodejs nubfest

When you have a fully automated production cycle, time to market will be about getting the raw materials in time, rather than the output to shops

and a 3rd party regulatory establishment would be created to independently verify chairs > yeah lmao just like rating agencies :^)

The inputs will be the slowing factor, rather than the outputs

You sound like a blackboxy manager

When you say stuff like that

I am in managment... hah

But I'm far from libertarian, and agree that governemnt needs to regulate for the forseeable future

Treating factories like an automated machine is a good path to the future, but machines need to be audited and tuned

Eventually it will be a never-ending cycle of machines fixing and tuning eachother.

I'm not libertarian either but I can't say that deregulating is generally a good thing, nor is over-regulating shit that the dummy government has no business regulating

It woulsdn't be deregulation, it'd be more moving regulation to the private sector, and becoming a by choice thing.

The main disadvantage to comapnies in not to regulate would be customer trust, but an advantage would be cheapness.

I'm sure many people would choose to spend like $200 on a car if it ment being a death trap, and that is their choice.

Perhaps; it would be nice if people valued certification and they brought some value into the chain by actually being more involved in product development, perhaps by integrating and mandating compatible testpoints, ala JTAG or OBD-II ports

Standard testing could at least let the factories and inspectors have a stable platform to work with instead of the slipshod way things are done now

who checks if the 3rd party regulation agency does its job properly?

Well UL used to mean something

If people were educated in customer choice and the risks, then I see no ethical reason why they shouldn't be allowed to choose goods that were risky.

We'd need and demand people do thorough reviews of stuff we care about, think the way we buy stuff now where if it's something of worth we want to watch a video review or whatever, just to another level of inspection

The credit of professional inspection and review would be the greatest incentive for them to do a good job

@Ygg It's shareholders would be a force behind doing it's job properly.. The last thing they want is the shares to tank if it's found to be doing improper things.

People aren't generally very smart

I'm sorry but people make dumb linear decisions based on shinyness and price

In a future where education can be also automated, it would be easier.

Another discussion regarding if they should be allowed to breed altogether

But ethics is hard

Like the alteration of the brain to give education rather than making a child learn.

Stop watching anime

This is far futurism though

I don't watch future animes

Futurism is great and all

But that's a really lazy answer to serious questions

"Leave it to future men"

Here and now, we can teach children in elementary school about consumer choice

shareholders don't seem to think like that actually, don't they? it's more like "cheat but don't get caught"

genuinely asking tbh
