AI and robot technology is moving fast, and so many people go about their daily work unaware. Work that a robot may take. I’m seeing a lot of short clips of tech in China, home building, street maintenance, and while I don’t know how much is real, if even some of what I see is true, the future will be trying on workers as jobs go by the wayside.
The only good thing is that robots can’t do much trade work, such as electrician, plumber and carpenter. While a robot might be used in industry for large building projects, it will not replace most of the workers who show up for you and me when we have issues at home. The future will be exciting, but people need to embrace and learn or be left behind. All IMO.

“Technological warfare does not stand still. We need the next breakthrough,” Mikhaylo Fedorov posts of his new project. “Our bet is on the robotization of warfare. The mission of the Army of Robots is to save lives.”
The accompanying AI-generated video of humanoid robots storming Russian positions may look like science fiction. But Mr. Fedorov has a track record. Last February, as Ukraine’s Defense Minister, he persuaded Elon Musk to cut off Russian use of Starlink. This month, he persuaded American tech billionaire Alex Karp to become the first investor in his new defense technology company.
“You and your colleagues are launching a company that I think will be defining for the world,” Mr. Karp said, standing alongside the Ukrainian in a video posted on Telegram. Speaking from Washington, the CEO of Palantir Technologies added: “To the extent that I or we can help you I would be very proud to do that.”
Setting markers, Mr. Fedorov told tech leaders at a conference in Lviv last weekend that his goal is for a humanoid robot to kill the first Russian soldier in six months. He set a one year deadline for the first robot assault on an enemy position with no infantry involved.
“Make robots fight instead of people,” he said, echoing a theme he pursued as defense minister until he was let go by President Zelensky in July. “Robots should do the most dangerous work so our service members can come home.”
