Do you know the dark factories?
These are factories that operate 24 hours a day in complete darkness.
For what?
Because the owners don’t need to light their factory, since no humans work there.
Everything is made by robots.
All.
In China, “dark factories” manufacture electric cars.
From A to Z.
Without the slightest human intervention.
Even the quality control of every vehicle that leaves the factory every second is carried out by robots.
No workers.
No unions.
No overtime to pay.
No strike.
No immigrant workers to bring in.
No retirement pensions.
No arbitration.
No human resources department.
Welcome to the working world of the future.

According to a study by the World Economic Forum, by 2027, 42% of tasks currently performed by workers will be automated.
The figure may be too optimistic, but it shows the trend.
The movement has begun and nothing can stop it.
We are at the very beginning of artificial intelligence.
Do you remember the beginnings of the internet? “Mom, hang up the phone, I’m trying to download something!”
It took 10 minutes to see a full image. Not forgetting the damn sound when we opened the internet.
«GriIIICHhhh buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzed twiiiiiiiIIIT!»
Well, that’s where we are with AI.
In five years, we will have made giant strides.
And in 10 years, we will no longer recognize anything.
All this, without forgetting 3D printing, which will allow you to print a chalet, a car, a machine gun.
At the Oscars, an award will be given for the best performance by a virtual actor.
And people will make love – and marry – with robots.
We will look at images from 2025, and we will feel like we look at images from 1980 today.
With computers as big as coolers.
HOW DOES AN ATM WORK?
The IT revolution will sweep away everything.
Au XXe century, it was the great ideas that shaped the world.
Capitalism, fascism, socialism, communism, anarchism…
The world of tomorrow was born in the faculties of human sciences.
Look at wokism. This revolutionary ideology was invented by French thinkers at California universities in the early 1980s, and 40 years later it took the world by storm like a virus escaped from a Chinese laboratory.
Today, it is science that shapes the world in which we will live.
Not religions.
Not ideologies.
But technology.
Forget the great philosophy books. Do you want to understand the world you live in?
Read science magazines. As Québec Science.
The Mao of today, the Fidel Castro of the 21ste century, it’s Elon Musk.
Look at the world around you.
In 20 years, it will be completely transformed.
The gap between you and your grandchildren will be as deep as the gap between you and the people you see in the sepia photos taken in 1850.
Are you laughing at your grandmother who doesn’t know how to get money out of an ATM?
You’re going to be worse.
Because the more things go, the faster time flies. And the more advances in science come.
WE LIVE IN THE FUTURE
To think that during this time, mail carriers are striking because they want Canada Post to continue delivering mail to people’s homes!
Hey, friends, we now deliver packages with drones!
Youhou!
We make cars that fly!
Taxis that drive themselves!
Thousands of cars have been made by robots while you have been reading this text.
This is the world we live in now.
The future is not tomorrow.
It’s tonight.
Sometimes.
We will wink, and Blade Runner is going to look like a black and white Charlie Chaplin film.
Legault is the PFK Kid!
We talked a lot about the PFK Kid this week. This boy who, in the film And Soupsaid he was going to distribute gifts to everyone if he won the lottery.
Don’t you think this scene perfectly symbolizes the economic policy of the Legault government?
“You, Northvolt, I will give you millions! And you, Electric Lion, I will give you a generous grant! And you, Airbus, I’m going to give you a big check for 400 million! And you, I’ll…”
Result: $1.4 billion lost.
The Fitzgibbon strategy? Finger-licking good!
Couillard and Qatar
Philippe Couillard took the head of a pro-Qatar organization.
“It’s true that countries in this region can be controversial, but Qatar is probably the one that is the most moderate,” said the ex-PM to justify his decision.
Oh yes?
According to Human Rights Watch, the hosting of the Men’s World Cup in Qatar in 2022 “has been accompanied by widespread abuses against migrant workers, with thousands of unexplained deaths and widespread wage theft…”
What did Mr. Couillard say when a politician from an opposition party criticized the immigration thresholds?
Ah yes: “You are blowing on the embers of intolerance!”
It seems that migrant workers from Qatar are not as close to his heart as those from Quebec…
One “here” is better than two “you’ll get it”
I am a sovereignist. But while waiting for “the big evening”, everything that moves Quebec forward receives my support.
This is why I don’t really understand the PQ’s reaction to the CAQ’s draft Quebec constitution.
Certainly, this constitution will be subject to the Canadian constitution. But as my father would say, “A step forward is better than a kick in the ass,” right?
