Blogger Comment: This is what Global Corporations do to their national workforce and put them on the scrapheap of history, where they have no care about what happens to their current and ex-workers or their lives, even if that means it literally turns their lives upside down and has the direct and clear ability to destroy their lives and the lives of their family, where people become destitute and socio-economically bankrupt in a future mindset of total despair…for all that these people are interested in is that their multi $ billions go up for themselves, their shareholders, but paramountly, their controllers the Globalist elites and where the ‘people’, who built these giant corporations into they are today, are just not included within this economic model at all…that’s the top and bottom of the Globalist mindset and just totally self interest and nothing else…so the Globalist mindset is basically malevolent against those who made them what they are today and the people of their respective nations…Zuck just one of thousands of them who are worth an estimated $20.1 Trillion according to Forbes as of March 10, 2026 (so a little bit more now I am sure)…

Facebook’s parent company Meta is testing robots that could replace the vast majority of human maintenance work inside its massive data centers, raising fresh alarms about artificial intelligence (AI) eliminating the very jobs its expansion was supposed to create.
For years, Big Tech companies have promoted “job creation” as one of the major benefits for communities asked to accommodate sprawling data centers needed to power the AI boom.
However, much of that employment comes from temporary construction work needed to build the enormous facilities.
Once operational, data centers require relatively small crews of workers to monitor equipment, patrol facilities, maintain servers, replace cables, and keep the infrastructure running.
Now, Meta is working to automate those jobs too.
Meta Tests Robots to Replace Human Workers
Meta has begun testing robotic systems capable of performing physical maintenance inside its data centers, according to Ars Technica.
The project remains in its early stages, with Meta reportedly experimenting with equipment supplied by several robotics companies, including ABB, Kinova, and Watney Robotics.
Robotic arms are being tested on routine maintenance operations such as hot-swapping network cables and cycling power to server racks.
If the technology succeeds, the consequences for human workers could be dramatic.
One anonymous Meta employee told Ars Technica that a robotic arm supplied by Kinova could potentially replace up to 80 percent of the physical workload currently performed inside the facilities.
“We thought those of us performing the physical tasks were safe for a while, but not anymore,” the worker said.
“It’s coming for us all, unfortunately.”
Even Physical Jobs Now in AI’s Crosshairs
The development marks another troubling expansion of the automation threat.
Much of the concern surrounding AI has focused on white-collar workers whose jobs can potentially be replicated by large language models and other software.
Writers, programmers, customer service representatives, analysts, and other knowledge workers have already found themselves confronting rapidly advancing AI systems.
Physical jobs were widely considered more insulated because software alone cannot repair hardware, replace cables, or physically manipulate equipment.
But combining increasingly sophisticated AI with robotics threatens to erase that distinction.
Meta’s experiments suggest that even the human workers maintaining the physical infrastructure required to run AI could eventually find themselves replaced by machines.
The irony is particularly striking given how data centers have been sold to communities.
Big Tech’s ‘Job Creation’ Promise Takes Another Hit
Data centers have rapidly spread as technology companies race to secure the enormous computing capacity required to train and operate increasingly powerful AI models.
Communities considering the facilities have been promised economic development and employment in exchange for accommodating massive complexes consuming huge amounts of land, electricity, and other resources.
Yet most of the labor associated with building a data center disappears once construction is finished.
Permanent staffing levels are considerably smaller.
And Meta is now exploring whether robots can eliminate much of what remains.
The push is especially notable because human labor represents only a small portion of the enormous cost of operating modern AI data centers.
Much of the expense comes from the infrastructure itself, particularly the extraordinarily expensive AI chips required to operate high-powered large language models.
Despite labor already representing a comparatively small cost, Meta is nevertheless pursuing technology capable of automating much of its remaining physical maintenance work.
Meta Keeps Quiet on Robot Tests
When Ars Technica approached Meta about the robotic data center experiments, a company spokesperson declined to comment on the testing.
The development comes as fears continue to grow that the AI revolution will eliminate jobs across increasingly broad sections of the economy.
The warning from inside Meta suggests workers who believed physical labor would protect them from the coming automation wave are beginning to realize otherwise.
“We thought those of us performing the physical tasks were safe for a while, but not anymore,” the Meta worker warned.
“It’s coming for us all, unfortunately.”
If Meta’s experiments succeed, communities promised permanent jobs in exchange for hosting Big Tech’s enormous AI infrastructure could ultimately find that even the skeleton crews left behind after construction are being replaced by machines.
