Welcome to the Future Factory, a new model for manufacturing where software gives a single human unprecedented leverage. I sat down with Renan Devillieres, founder of the manufacturing venture studio OSS Ventures, to discuss this massive shift. He explains his vision for The Future Factory: Where 1 Engineer Runs 1,000 Robots, arguing that reshoring manufacturing to the US won't look like the factories of the past. We also explore why war is the primary driver of this change, the "incoherent" hypocrisy of Western consumers, and his "Rule of Threes" for hiring technical experts. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in the future of manufacturing, automation, and geopolitics. Check out the company: https://oss.ventures
