Futurology

So the main original thing I'm hearing is just the software that streamlines a lot of the process. Other than that, people have been designing factories as a service for a long time, and factories have been making prefabs for a long time. I'm curious how their prefab concepts compare to existing ones, as well, which the blog didn't go into (instead opting for a lot of manager-speak and Ford worship).

Instead of paying workers hourly, Cuby pays them based on the quants of the tasks completed. When workers complete a task, they push a button in Cuby’s app, and after three tasks, a supervisor checks the work to confirm satisfactory completion. Once confirmed, payment is automatically sent to the worker’s account.

Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised they're going with the gig model. It's just too good of a deal for the employer. We made labour rules for a reason, though, and it's up to regulators to actually enforce them.

For reference, they're still expecting workers on site during their shift.
