automation poisoning 

The phenomenon observed in late 2022, around the time when OpenAI's ChatGPT gained widespread adoption, of a younger generation of software developers holding the specific belief that, due to the disruptive technology behind artificial intelligence models such as Large Language Models (LLMs) and chat agents such as ChatGPT, all tasks are able to be completed entirely or partially via these AI advancements.

Moreover, this sickness can be identified as more severe if the individual under suspicion of infection can be observed saying the blatant phrase: "I could automate that." Other signs of infection include a drastic decrease in productivity, which is in rare cases followed by a massive spike in the same productivity. This spike is less and less frequently being observed in the community.
Hiring Manager: Fuck man, I'm getting tired of all these bratty little applicants trying to tell me this position could be "like completely 'done' with ChatGPT, man..." They've got automation poisoning, the lot of 'em.

Hiring Manager 2: I hear you. I accidentally caught a glimpse of the display on one of their macbook pros as they left... the only apps on the taskbar were the unofficial ChatGPT client, A custom Midjourney client, and a custom Stable Diffusion client. Or maybe they were just shortcuts to open safari now that I think about it. She didn't even have the file explorer man...

Orbital Automation

The use of autonomous robots, AI, and self-replicating systems to perform industrial tasks in space without continuous human oversight. This is the extension of the factory floor to zero gravity, where robotic arms assemble satellites, AI-driven drones inspect and repair infrastructure, and automated tugboats manage orbital debris. The goal is to create a self-sustaining, scalable industrial presence in Earth orbit and beyond, turning the vacuum of space into a productive workshop run by machines that build, maintain, and even replicate themselves. It's the prerequisite for a post-scarcity space economy.
Orbital Automation *Example: A fully Orbital Automated factory could involve asteroid-mining drones feeding raw materials to 3D printers that manufacture solar power satellites, which are then positioned by autonomous space tugs—all coordinated by an AI overseer, with humans only on Earth monitoring the profit margins.*
