>You mean the way paradigm shifts in production just get ahead too much?
I can use some very concrete examples: Russian ammunition factories are owned by the state, they run triple shifts 24/7 to produce shells right now, and they do the same with suicide drones. LEAN works perfectly for this, just-in-time delivery to each internal customer in the supply chain can be fine tuned to the max when you control every part yourself. Compare to free market with outsourcing to private operations: the waiting time for artillery shells in Europe is now 6 years from order to delivery, and the prices are increasing constantly because more demand = higher price. Who benefits? Factory owners. It's supposed to work because it's believed that private enterprise will lead to invention and the state can tax those increasing profits. But the actual profit here is to get cheap artillery shells really fucking fast, preferable yesterday. Free market competition can't provide this, because its main product is the monetary gain.

>By being dumb you mean simple? So dumbed down to perfection and in large quantity with extremely fast production rates?
AI is to be dumb really fast. Astra is a pure example of this in practice. It works great if applied in the right way, and this is not to create a mostly useless chatbot which breaks your entire budget and still doesn't do anything and than make up believable fake facts.
I'll just throw in the Ukraine conflict again to show what this means: if you apply LEAN, it means you always report mistakes. Mistakes are the most valuable thing, because you learn from them as an organization. The competing market will do all it can to cover up mistakes because it's bad for business if this gets out. They will promise fast deliveries and lie about it if they fail. Everyone doing this, covering up quality problems, delivery problems, escalating costs, presenting fake prognosis of their own growth and so on, it's the opposite of learning from mistakes. The Ukrainian mafia which runs the place are doing this as if it was a national sport. You can say the same about Russia, but there is a coherence there which is lacking for their opponent. They can, without hiding it, throw prison colony populations at the Ukrainian positions and literally learning from their mistakes. It's by design to let them die to see; where are the Ukrainians, what are they shooting with, etc. This is to learn from mistakes. NATO tactics is instead to preserve their reputation by not reporting mistakes upwards in their own organizations so as to not lose face in front of their other member states. They need to do this so that they can hold their market position and do business, which they rely on for their arms industry. So it's in their interest to not take in information of mistakes made, but rather suppress this information and pretend all is well.
