  • Because a machine is expected to do it right the first time. Because it’s supposed to do the exact same thing everytime with the exact same input parameters. If you give it the exact same input every time and you get a different result every time it is not reliable to function as automation.

    Humans are just that. Humans. They make mistakes sometimes. The reason humans can keep doing the work is that there is no better alternative. Machines can’t do it, so who else is gonna do it? Either humans build your house or nobody does. There is little choice there.

    So if a machine is to take over that job, it better do it right and reliable and cheaper.Because humans can already do it right and reliable. And there’s little money saving if a human still needs to check all the work.



  • Yea, well…for the heavy lifting it could be nice. But I’m not letting AI build my house.

    Lifting heay crap to the roof or something like that? Sure. That is what machines are good at.

    Welding? Well welding robots have existed for long time, they just need to programmed perfectly. I’ve worked with a couple of them, the results are not always consistent and they required some quality checks. It is easier. Manual welding takes more skill and takes longer. I just don’t need the AI part though. That makes it unpredictable. And if I let a robot do something, it should be predictable.

    I do woodworking and fixing around the house. Even when building new stuff, there are always issues that you have to solve on the spot. Walls that are not straight, angles that are not perfect, spaces you cannot reach et cetera.

    As long as AI does not get it 100% right every time it is not touching my house. And yes, a professional doesn’t reach that rate either, but at least they know and doublecheck themselves and know how to fix things.



  • Mine already reboots every night. It’s a setting I can change on my OnePlus.

    I enabled it long ago. A reboot will also kill anything that is running in your memory like a page mining crypto or a virus that has not yet gotten to your file system yet. Or at least I’d like to think so…

    Anyways, the reboot also insured that if my phone is ever taken from me, after 24 hours max they will have to both enter my PIN and my phone security code. I wish them good luck. There’s not much interesting stuff on my phone, but that does not mean I want everyone to have free access too it.
