Are we still using pickaxes to mine??? We have Robots assisting with manual labor since the car. Modern factories rely on tons of neural networks and machine-vision. This is silly.

    Yup, can confirm firsthand, having lookied at mines in Zambia in 2022, 17 year olds were still using pickaxes. While a lot of modern world is doing machine assisted mining. Pickaxes aren't gone gone.

    I mean, kind of. They do use outdated heavy machinery, maybe some pickaxes to help the machines, but amount you can mine manually like that i basically pointless at this point. The bigger problem are the working conditions there in general. Time for some supply chain regulation.
