Listen now | Construction is a $2 trillion U.S. industry ($13 trillion globally) that impacts nearly every aspect of our lives. Yet, building has become too expensive and too slow to meet rising demand and aging infrastructure. What if we can apply breakthroughs from self-driving to construction? And what if we can use AI to operate heavy machinery autonomously 24/7?
This is one of the most quietly revolutionary conversations I've heard on real-world autonomy. The insight that construction, unlike autonomous vehicles, allows surgical depth-first automation, targeting the highest-leverage repeatable tasks before scaling breadth, is gold.
Most people still think of AI as cognition without embodiment. This shows the inverse: action informed by intelligence, manifesting as a machine that learns to dig, literally.
An acquaintance on FB James Matlock wants to run for Texas RRC. He’s been against AI but I’ve been discussing this with him for 6 months. I hope James listens to this complete post. I think you Sir and Mr Sofman did a great job explaining this technology.
