Good point.

However, there‘s a crucial difference to cars. Robots are hardware AND software. And I don’t know anybody who uses Windows 95, CorelDraw, and Netscape today. Software and connected hardware outdate mich faster than simple hardware.

The battery! It lasts for just 1-3 hours. That’s why there aren‘t robots on the battlefield nowadays. Once the energy issue is solved this will change

Sure. But at what costs? One can do many things by technology. Are people willing to pay for it? And how much?

Great author

You are not inside your brain. That’s an outdated concept. You are your entire body.

Take me now even if I stink. German song https://youtu.be/gyrMA-pu6y8

How clever your cat is. Look at you, you pee into a box and you live in a box.

I‘m very sorry. Just a frustrated guy

Their entire process is broken. Usually the one who does the site visit isn’t the one who does the work and who does the invoice. How to connect those people if not with eg. an CRM? By paper and phone?

Two weeks ago, I got a new heat pump for heating. Everything, that I discussed ahead with the salesguys wasn‘t known by the construction team. Wtf. I had to explain and discuss it again. Some calls and mails to the sales guy included.

Pen and paper is crap. No documentation, no archive, no easy workflow. Not talking about errors due to data entry issues into different excelwhatever crap. As said one showed up twice as he lost his paper with the measures. He was the boss btw.

Those companies that are setting up modern, digital processes will take over the rest. At least here in Germany, where the youth has no desire to work as back in the 90ies (including the hierarchies and sexism that is called tradition)

What do I do? I‘m a cooker. Yeah I cook meals. Early in the morning I press this button and meals get ready and dishes cleaned and served. That’s cooking today.

I love it old school. Cooking on a stove, cleaning dishes by hand and peeling vegetables manually. Automation is evil, you know, it takes jobs. That’s why I cook on a stove

Well done. It’s needed so urgent. Craftman still work like in the 60-90ies. They are sooo old school. And call it „tradition“.

If they use a laser for measuring things, that‘s advanced. If they use a smartphone and digital apps for notes and customer contact (instead of pen and manual notebook) that’s advanced. Wtf.

I had quite many craftman in my house last years and it’s unbelievable how they work nowadays. Two of them even didn‘t send me a final invoice. Well, that’s stupid backoffice work. Many couldn‘t send me an offering after having a (time consuming) site visit at my house. One showed up twice because he lost his paper with the measurements. And didn‘t send an offering.

Nono, I lost all my respect about any modern capabilities of craftman. It’s insanely old schooled.

Coming back to the 3d printer: How is construction building up a house nowadays? One after the other is doing their work. Nobody thinks ahead. How do they lay out pipes, lighting or power lines? By cutting into the wall. Why? Because of tradition. Any documentation? With pen and notebook? No way. How laying tiles in a bathroom? Showing up with a stack of tiles and cut it one by one. Laser measure it first and cut ahead at their shop to save time? Well, the leaning walls and tradition, they will answer.

I do not wonder that building up houses became insanely costly.

Sorry for my rant. But my experience were just eyeblowing and frustrating. (And as my mother was a craftman I know that matter a bit)

And if you ignore construction sites with high cranes and not documented buildings. Or overland high voltag power cables, wind mills, hobby drones, and local variations of birds.

It‘s just taking the complex challenges of autonomous drivinf into the third dimension. Making it even more complex.

It uses high frequency radio waves to disrupt or damage critical electronic components inside drones, causing them to crash or malfunction.

At a range of 1km…

That‘s useful not just for drones. I wonder if this works against helicopters, too.

You swap seeing with recognizing. You recognize things. And you see light.

That’s it. And, indeed, you see light. That’s what your eyes do.

Little smart ass knowhow: With your hands, you can feel light.

You feel infrared light as heat. Not visible light though. Just heat up your cooker stove and it emits a bit visible red and a lot infrared light. Don’t touch just keep your hand close to the stove. Now you feel the IR-„light“.

Or just take an IR-lamp for your neck pain. You‘ll feel the light that’s emitting with your hands.

When that happens and one can talk to dolphins:

• There will be a debatte about dolphins and animal rights
• There will pop up startups with Talk-to-your-dog/cats/whatever-AI
• In 10 year or so, we might discover that one can communicate to trees, flowers, plants as well through chemical transmitters or whatsever

• Learn to recognize pishing mail and sms
• Do not share nude pics of yourself (even not to your boy/girlfriend)
• Do not upload pics of your face to funny AI apps
• Learn to recognize and ignore social media trolls
• Learn netiquette writing style in social media
• Do not write bad things about colleagues and boss in emails at work
• Recognize dark shopping patterns such as time counter, discounts, voucher height
• Recognize fake shops
• Recognize no returns (Chinese) shops
• Recognize gambling patterns in games such as loot boxes, rewards and more for real money
• Understand the money loss through subscription schemes
• Do not buy now and pay later

Sorry for this long list. It’s just a terrible place for kids
