Probably raping children with someone else now, this behaviour wouldn't have stopped with Epstein.

Some do, others just charge for everything or charge for something that's released for free elsewhere.. Cults3d and Yeggi are bad for that from recent memory.

or to lock the models behind a paywall.. look what's happened with 3d printing, so many sites now charge for STL files.

The process of producing lumber is largely automated.

The process of producing concrete is largely automated.

The process of producing drywall, mud, paint, nails, tools, wires, switches, pipes, are all largely automated.

The process to create the architectural designs and blueprints for the house are largely automated.

The process to create the electricity, fuels and vehicles needed are all largely automated.

To make a house, people used to draw plans by hand (if at all), chop the trees down with an axe and/or saw that was made by hand by a blacksmith, shape the timber with hand tools made by the blacksmith, fasten things together with hand-crafted joinery or nails hand-made by the blacksmith. All the materials were transported by hand or by horse and lifted onto the structure by hand or manually operated hoist. Every part of it, including the production of all the tools, was previously done by hand.

The invention of the assembly line opened up the possibility to eventually automate virtually everything except the final assembly, and we have robots that can be made capable of doing that autonomously as well. You can buy pre-fab homes where all the major sections are built in a factory by robots and shipped out to the construction site and attached together.

Construction is far more automated than what you make it out to be.

From what I've read previously, they're destroying all the books, regardless if they're historic and one-of-a-kind or a mass produced paperback.

More that they are destroying the books in the process of digitizing them, they basically cut the pages out of the book and feed them into a scanner with a document feeder attached.

Spent nearly 10 years working call center jobs, every single one of them had QA people listening to random calls and grading them. If you didn't stick to the script or try to sell the thing or whatever it was, you'd get a failing grade on the call. Enough of those and you're gone.

You're also graded on how long each call takes based on a metric called "Average Handle Time" or AHT which was set by the client based on whatever fucking fantasy they had about how long each call should take.

Fun fact, some contracts I worked on had an AHT requirement that was lower than the amount of time it would take to go through all of their required scripted sales pitches without even addressing the reason for the call. It was literally impossible to get full marks because you either had to skip most of their required scripts, not help the customer, or have the call run long.

I think you forgot to mention that it's cheap

Mine has guest and IOT networks, super nice because I can set up all the IOT stuff then hide the SSID
