I’ll believe it when I see it, and gleefully watch it fuck up all over the place to where it’s thrown in a dumpster by a GC that doesn’t have time for its shit.
I’ve worked in enough warehouses to know that a lot of owners would rather burn the building to the ground than pay to repair a piece of machinery, and I suspect these things will be more trouble than they’re worth.
I do equipment repairs for my bread and butter. And if they wanted to yes they most definitely will make equipment that is reliable as fuck and can be used and abused indefinitely. The worst part of it. All it takes is one ceo from deere, cat, komatsu, libberhr etc to say you know what, that construction guy pissed me off. It may sound petty but I have seen a local ceo buy out kenworth just because the sales guy was late and then fired him.
Easily. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure they could be useful in certain cases, especially once the technology matures. But it will be many years before then, and it’ll be an uphill battle for them as construction workers don’t take kindly to their jobs being threatened.
I’m sure there are already people taking a close look at these machines to determine the optimal place to insert a wooden shoe.
Tampering with any of their sensors should be enough
They’ve figured out how to convert AI outputs into electricity??
It goes the other way: huge amounts of electricity -> moderate volume of useless AI outputs.
Ah I see. Well it’s like the old saying goes, “I’d rather pay a ton of money to get AI robots to fuck everything up really badly and then go back to paying workers a barely livable wage, than pay workers a livable wage in the first place and not waste a ton of money.”
Save the cat!
