U.S company Cosmic Robotics hopes to speed up solar panel installations with their robot Cosmic-1A, which can install one panel every 30 to 40 seconds. Consisting of a robotic arm mounted on an 8-wheeled vehicle, it can place the heavy panels with millimetre precision 🤖 https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/16/cosmic-robotics-is-building-robots-to-speed-solar-power-deployments-for-data-centers/ #Robots #Robotics

Bobby Chiu, long time artist and founder of online art school Schoolism made a video about why this whole AI stuff isn't just an art thing but is going to effect every single job in every single industry, not just creatives.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMTNRqIaZBw

There was already a lack of lasting outcry from non artists after it was exposed how the Laion dataset didn't only include art but all sorts of stuff people uploaded e.g. on pinterest from vacation photos over medical data to terrorist images showing beheadings or something. Artists were never the only ones affecting, the AI companies were just good at framing these things as exceptions and establishing exploitive filter companies in the global south to cope with this.

However, more and more people in the public try to include AI and robots in all sorts of things and all sorts of jobs, probably including yours, dear reader. (Our former health minister also considered feeding all of Germany's medical data to google and OpenAI for a ton of sugarcoated reasons that were actually pretty harmful or at least pointless.)

And our politicians have no answer to this. A general basic income would be the only thing preventing mass poverty due to AI taking over more and more jobs but heavens forbid to give money to people "for no reason"... But even if we would have one, it still wouldn't account how stripping everything human from all sorts of elements of daily life would impact us as society.

If you think AI will not impact you negatively: Yes it will, and if not you personally, it will affect your children, your friends, your relatives, or their children. (And I'm not even talking about how it fuels the climate crisis and water shortages in some areas.)
