    Whoever made this sign will definitely not be saying those things when negotiating pay. Then it’s all about how replaceable you are.

    Don’t worry, the concrete 3d printers are coming. (Then we won’t be employable anymore.) (Then we loose our power over the elite.)

      I’ve seen a point made about concrete 3d-printers for building assembly: you can make a structure with them, but such structures are nowhere near a finished building, for most building uses, because you still need things like wiring, plumbing, insulation, windows, things like sinks toilets and light fixtures, etc. Maybe you could get around this by making prefabricated modular sections in an automated factory that a machine can put together in various configurations, but this will be far less flexible.

        This highlights the misunderstanding the world seems to have about AI taking jobs.

        AI doesn’t take jobs. AI makes existing work efforts able to be done by fewer people. That’s it.

        It also creates jobs in the realm of improving, supporting, and maintaining those systems.

        What used to take ten people will now take one. And they’ll be specially trained to operate at that level.

    I remember a video many years ago about the first brick laying bot. It was rough and no where near as finely tuned as a Mason who has been doing it for a few years… But it works. The absolute short sighted nature of many construction companies much like in the past will be their downfall.
