More and more humanoid robots are entering construction sites.
UK T1 contractor Tilbury Douglas has deployed Douglas--a humanoid robot based on the Unitree G1,on a live building site, claiming it as a UK first.
This 30kg off-the-shelf unit uses cameras and laser scanners to autonomously navigate, capture 360° imagery, and generate point clouds.
It handles routine tasks like progress tracking and safety monitoring by taking daily fixed-position photos to detect deviations and create a continuous digital project record.
Expected benefit: ~40 hours saved per month on manual site walks.
While currently focused on low-risk monitoring rather than solving the UK’s acute skills shortage (needing 61,000 more workers yearly, especially bricklayers, electricians, and carpenters),
it’s still early days--and inspiring to see real-world deployment.
@CarlEricss00n@Adams_Tech_AI lets say you have 10 gpu's running on 100% how long will they run. the solar panels will outlive gpu's easely i hope they will send robots up there to replace parts. and then we have a new type of industry too
@CarlEricss00n@Adams_Tech_AI space datacenters are powerd by solar panels and run a bunch of computers in space basically, sun is always on zero downtime free energy. the question will be how long can those run. todays datacenters often have to replace parts and racks. i'm sure they thought of this
@Adams_Tech_AI imagine if the world didn't have elon .. we might be starting a paypal version 1 today and still living in the 90's with our first wireless phones without the "smart" part ;)
HE TURNED A TESLA INTO A $56,000/MONTH AI BUSINESS.
Instead of renting ChatGPT, Claude, coding agents, and API credits every month, he bought the hardware once and took it with him.
Thirty-two companies now pay him to build private AI workflows, train custom models, and automate work that used to take entire teams.
The setup cost $2,700.
It made the money back in 11 days.
Six months later it was generating more than $56,000 every month.
Silicon Valley wants you renting intelligence forever.
He bought it once…
and drove away.
@douga111www To reiterate the key finding purely in terms of time: If you spend 2 hours a day on social media out of your 16 waking hours, over the course of 10 years, you will have spent approximately 1.25 years (or 1 year and 3 months) of your waking life scrolling. (source AI)
@media3fs haha thanks.. i think it's 2 songs though the one that starts at 9sec is what i'm looking for coudn't find that in your song .. maybe it's a remix or something or mashup..
@dictxtor_ so you got 3 lives right.. that's it. the whole game on 3 lives . there is a trick though you could collect thousands of water drops and get an extra life which i figured out AFTER i finished the full game. :) and it was a grind too not very easy to collect enough
