This is cool

Very cool and a touch scary. Robots with AI and 3D printers are taking over. There will be no jobs in the near future. How’s the recovery going?
-
Yes it is scary, heard the same thing on radio, something like 15% of jobs will go due to robotics..
-
I’d estimate a lot more. Give it 10 years and the world will be unrecognisable.
-
This was in a short space of time, what chance do the future kids have ??

>>>Now apply that same expansion of capability/capacity to the rest of life.. to medicine, transportation, food, energy, and the potentials for the next few generations to live incredible lives is very very high indeed I'd suggest.

Wise words as always. Like most great inventions that have made huge impacts on human kind it will be a double edge sword. Splitting the atom was to usher in new energy potentials but along with that created nuclear bombs. Slightly different to tech these days..
-
very good parallel.. and yes..everything is a double edged sword.. I'm trying to see the brightest possible side...

That's not Concrete, that is Cement. Concrete would have larger aggregates (rocks) in it and be unable to "ooze" out of the nozzle.
-
Cement is a raw form dust. Concrete has cement, sand and aggregate (stones) with water to complete the mix. Depending on the size of the aggregate, this is more than achievable

Still needs peasants to build a moat

What about reinforcement? Concrete has great compressive strength but not so great tensile strength it would crumble like all the un reinforced masonry in shithole countries after an earthquake

Its structurally weak, it has to have steel reinforcement to have floors with concrete, but Hempcrete would totally work. That's what I want to see.

No rebar. Hope they use reinforcing fibres.
-
I thought about the rebar as well, I’ve seen robotic concrete applications for brick laying but not a structure like this. Wouldn’t want to be too close on very windy day.

Brittle and pointless without rebar.

It might be a fibermesh mix

Unreinforced Masonry Building ey, hope its not in California.
-
the concrete they use has fiberglass mesh, its engineered to replace rebar
