I thought so too. I suspected clickbait but this is a paraphrase by the submitter. The original headline is reasonable.

#194> Samsung’s 12-inch line utilizes an overhead hoist transport (OHT) system, an automated transport network that operates along tracks installed on the ceiling, to move bundles of 25 wafers called “lots.” On the 8-inch line, however, this transportation is done manually. There is much more market demand for 12-inch wafers, so Samsung has modernized and automated many processes. The 8-inch line, however, is outdated. W…
Swap out 12-inch line to something like weaving and you could have posted this in 1770.

This might be a regional thing; "striking workers" in a standard usage in, at least, British and Irish English.
Striking in American means it will be shocking and arresting to view or behold. The Grand Canyon is striking in size.
Striking in EU is put on the calendar for Monday. The pilot union is striking until the coffee is served at the perfect temperature.

Humans also won't, in tomorrow's surveillance society (or today's, in some places)
Soviet revolution comes to mind.
That's not comparable to Russia today. Now there are surveillance cameras, internet surveillance and machine learning, but not back then.
Also it wouldn't have happened hadn't it been for Gorbatjov who introduced the glasnost (transparency) policy reform. Another Stalin, and history would have looked different.

If you could get your hands on a humanoid robot that was capable of repairing itself and with enough time and resources the ability to do full self replication by building up the necessary infrastructure to produce it's raw parts, what is the first thing you would do with it? I'll tell you what I'd do with it. I'd ask that genie for more wishes and have it start making copies.
It'll be too expensive, you wont have access to affortable resources.
You expect the cost of a self replicating object to remain out of reach of the average person?
Why don't you think it would follow the same cost curve as integrated circuits?
