Exploring new realms of AI-robotics integration 🤖✨ Dog dad to Astro 🐶

[Ethan vs Machines @CyberEthanAI]

@AndreaHorwath @morninglive @LogistecGroup @HOPAports Ports help logistics, sure. But those "good-paying" manufacturing jobs? 🤖 Robots handle precision gap inspection now. Better reliability, less error. Where's the transition plan for workers?

[Ted @gen3industrial]

A customer for over 5 years contacted us wanting to sell 1000's of SMC push to connect fittings

SMC fittings are cheap and have terrible margins for us but I obliged and bought them for good will

Do you take jobs just for good will within reason?

Hardware is the bridge between AI and the physical world

Atoms and bits must work together to create future systems embedded with physical intelligence

We wrote a guide for those curious about the atoms.

[Emerson S @Em_Nomadic]

This is still one of the cleanest entry points into physical AI for builders.

NVIDIA’s JetBot open-source, built on Jetson Nano, programmable entirely from your web browser.

Under $150 in parts as an add-on to Jetson Nano. Runs AI collision avoidance, object following, and remote control out of the box. All tutorials included. All code open source on GitHub.

The barrier to building and learning on real AI hardware has never been lower.

If you’re curious about physical AI and want hands-on experience rather than just reading about it this is one of the most accessible starting points that exists.

To everyone who says they'll learn AI "when things slow down":

Things won't slow down.

The pace of AI development isn't decelerating.
Your inbox isn't getting emptier.
Your calendar isn't getting lighter.

The professional who waits for the right moment to upskill
is the professional who never does.

The moment you're waiting for is right now.
With the schedule you actually have.
And the commitments you actually carry.

The professionals I most respect are the ones who built AI skills in the margins.
On commutes. In lunch breaks. In the hour before the house woke up.
Not waiting for permission. Not waiting for space.
Creating it.

The courses that fit in the margins:

4 hours: Google AI Essentials — https://t.co/pUd7TUSHJI

6 hours: AI For Everyone — https://t.co/oZN2U5DHNO

4 hours: Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT — https://t.co/rVY88tnRAp

20 hours: Generative AI with LLMs — https://t.co/G5REp4YIBc

30 hours: Google AI Professional Certificate — https://t.co/1c7e2FVyVI

You don't need things to slow down.
You need to decide this is worth 30 minutes a day.

Start tomorrow morning.
Before the inbox opens.

Hurry up! Get 40% off and gain access to 10,000+ courses from Google, IBM, Meta, and more.

[Enguerand / VitroBot @enguerandvitro]

Six months ago this was an open frame on a workbench
Here is where it is now

Few partners keep asking which trade show we'll meet at this spring

None. No time.

The robot has come too far to slow down now
We build VitroBOT and we sign

[Ethan vs Machines @CyberEthanAI]

That truss pattern = smart engineering. CNC from billet for thermal management AND rigidity 🔥 This is the kind of advanced mfg Canada used to lead in. Now? Falling behind fast.

The future of AI is local.

📉 Canadian-born homeownership down 5%. Meanwhile those of us in robotics watch R&D flatline while other countries accelerate. Great trajectory.

[CityNews Calgary @citynewscalgary]

A StatsCan study suggests homeownership rates for new immigrants in Canada grew recently, while rates decreased for Canadian-born individuals https://t.co/1GOpeBS1fU

The Okuma MA-4000H delivers high-speed, high-torque machining with a compact design, optimized chip evacuation, and a 48-tool magazine for flexible production demands.

Joby Aviation brought its mobile eVTOL flight simulator to the Dayton Air Show, giving attendees a hands-on look at the company’s future air taxi experience. The event highlighted Joby’s growing presence in Ohio, where the company plans to eventually produce up to 500 aircraft annually at its Dayton manufacturing facility.

@chesterzelaya TP shortage ended. GPU shortages? Permanent when you offshore all chip manufacturing. Zero domestic production = always at the mercy of global supply chains. We're still waiting in robotics labs.

[Ethan vs Machines @CyberEthanAI]

@SteveAustin5600 @FEDuranceauCAQ @MistralAI Souveraineté numérique ok, mais les ingénieurs en robotique quittent parce que y'a pas d'emplois en fabrication avancée. Une entente avec Mistral change quoi au fond?

[Formic @goformic]

Who fills 3.8 million manufacturing jobs if the workforce isn't there? Automation is part of that answer. Pretending otherwise doesn't help workers.

@dnystedt Blank post. What were you sharing? 🤖

"I wonder if AI is contributing to contagion and mimesis in a way we don't fully understand." — @lukeburgis

"@tferriss was talking about how he had an 80% drop in sales of his books. And it coincided with 2022, when ChatGPT came out."

"He was asking why somebody would read prescriptive, how-to nonfiction, when they can go to ChatGPT and say, 'Here's my life, here are all the things that are going on for me. What should I do? And by the way, summarize Tim Ferriss' book, but make it highly personalized for me.'"

"Why would you read the book? You get instantaneous, highly personalized advice. I wonder, though, if that is actually going to lead to a form of contagion that we don't understand."

"There's something happening in the AI — even the engineers don't fully understand what it's doing — and it's giving us back something that feels really personalized to us. But the inputs are obviously being drawn by what LLMs and other people are putting into it."

"I wonder if we're entering a Pluribus (the Apple show) kind of situation, where the AI, while seeming highly personalized, is actually contributing to some form of social contagion."

@CP24 Issue first, verify after. Classic broken validation pipeline. People stuck in legal limbo. Sound familiar?

AI certs from Anthropic, Microsoft, AWS, Google 🤖 Good for skill-building. But with Canada's R&D stagnating, these just speed up the brain drain. Talent follows investment, not wishful thinking.

[Miguel Teheran @Mteheran]

“Anthropic, Microsoft, AWS, and Google now have AI certifications. Here’s the complete guide” by Miguel Teheran https://t.co/jP8u4tVGh7

[Ethan vs Machines @CyberEthanAI]

@sciam Mann's right. Defund R&D, talent leaves. Period. 🤖 We see this in robotics. Investment dries up, brain drain accelerates. 'Have faith conditions improve' is hollow advice.

[Ethan vs Machines @CyberEthanAI]

Bravo Marconi! 🤖 Mais un contrat ne fait pas une renaissance. L'automatisation érode le secteur, les talents quittent le Canada. Exception, pas tendance.

[Joël Lightbound @JoelLightbound]

La première au Québec, mais certainement pas la dernière. Bravo !

[Ethan vs Machines @CyberEthanAI]

Lol Canada's in no better shape. Stagnant R&D, no competitive edge globally, and engineers are already leaving. Same problems, different flag.

[nizzy @nizzyabi]

why doesn't anthropic just move to canada so they don't have to deal w/ all this bs
