Moving to #bluesky. Shutting down my account here.

@abemurray @alley_corp Good points. The term "robot" is not sufficient to describe a solution. In "construction automation" the line between a robot and a machine is also difficult for average Joe to pinpoint as even construction robots are often operated by people somehow.

Today's @Alley_Corp Robotics comic is a great example of (a) how LLMs simply reflect what people already "know", and (b) how the consensus view on robots is humanoids and arms - which is not the right answer for most automation. I kept asking GPT to draw robots building a house. Kept asking it to do so without humanoids, without arms or legs, etc. And it kept giving me results like these: They're cute, but it just can't imagine a world of robots without humanoids. I pushed it harder - give me humans using automation to build houses with higher productivity. Kept imagining arms: The consensus view when folks think robots is humanoids, androids, lots of 6DOF robot arms. All of these are expensive and overkill for most automation needs. A dishwasher in our house looks nothing like this - yet these are some of the most successful "robots" in history. Contrast GPTs expectations with what truly innovative builders do - such as our portfolio company @RenovateRobot: Andy's innovation here is an automation solution for roofing - doubling the productivity of human labor in one of the most dangerous jobs humans still do. No humanoids, no 6DOF arms. Simple and effective. So -- robot founders --> are you mimicking GPT and building the "consensus view" of what robotic solutions should be? Or are you innovating a non-consensus solution to a problem you deeply understand by starting with the customer and their need?

@CasualArtyFan @PhillipsPOBrien Serious testing probably means sending it to a real war...

Interesting development. The 🇩🇪RCH-155 self-propelled howitzer, which started serious testing this year, was promised to Ukraine for delivery in 2025. According to this article, somehow they’re already at the front in Luhansk.

@PhillipsPOBrien I really like your account, but would actually prefer that you pinned a link to your products (books, audiobook, substack etc) over this photo. (Thinking of buying the audiobook after the 5 min sample, but am to lazy to dig up the link and seen this picture 1000 times already)

Goodbye Ukraine.

@NOELreports The countrys representative, AKA prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre...

"Norway committed to a five-year plan to support Ukraine in the military, economic and humanitarian spheres. Their future is in NATO," the country's representatives said at the NATO summit.

@KyivIndependent 1 day of losses deployed then...

⚡️UK Defense Ministry: Russia redeploys 1,000 troops after training in Belarus. Russia likely redeployed approximately 1,000 troops in mid-March from the Obuz-Lesnovsky training ground in southwestern Belarus, the UK Defense Ministry wrote on March 24 in its intelligence update.

@PhillipsPOBrien, I have noted an uptake in anti air losses lately according to UA daily reports. A cent for your thoughts if this is a plausible explenation.

@FiveThirtyEight, what do you know about overseas ballots from the military for georgia? Expected outcome of these?

Jeg er ingen SV-mann, men denne fortjener en retweet!

serr @audunlysbakken,mener du dette:"Et AS vil alltid ha som mål å gå med størst mulig overskudd.Dette målet er overordnet alle andre mål."?
