Yeah I'd like to see someone automating carpentry :)

Not a carpenter, but what would be the problem? Granted it might be still cheaper for humans to do the labor for some time, but eventually we will have most houses manufactured (home printing) or done as a prefab and assembled. For luxury some could be custom made by AI powered robots, based on user prompt.

Speculations of course.

I don't think that AI can reach such a level to install and measure everything without a carpenter. The gap is quite big and requires data which doesn't exist in the real world to feed into a model that can power AI to such an exact degree.

Look at how far we've come with LLM, that's only because we have so much texts readily available to train those models. In real life you'd have to manage a dataset combining different configurations of installations, even within prefab and assemblies you cannot reach the accuracy in my opinion without carrying a huge risk.

i'm sorry but this is a very anti-capitalist solution — a collective, shared resource in a community that everybody has access to if they contribute to it, and the organization is structured in a way that all participants have the chance to participate in the decision making. you can rationalize that it's not however you wish but that won't change the fact that the amish community is very much at odds with capitalism…

That's pretty silly. By the same token, you would have to argue that companies are anti-capitalists, because they are largely run on a comman…

lol no, that is just a terribly weak argument with a logical error. not to mention ignorant of what capitalism is.

also, some amish communities even call it "mutual aid" which is very anti-capitalist.
