What's a dark factory?

No lights. No shifts. Still shipping.

Every so often, a technology arrives that changes everything. This is one of those moments. But a tool only matters if people can use it. So we start with people. We teach them to build. Then the machines take over the rest, quietly, with the lights off.

AI initiates. Humans decide.
