Contour Crafting - House Building Prototype Robot

Hell, I would only have to work a 10 hour week it there was some giant robot that could build cheap homes and cut out the labor cost. 70% of my income goes to mortgage right now!

great. there goes more jobs out the window. lol

Do you really WANT that shitty construction job? Ever worked in construction? It sucks. Wouldn't you rather live in a world where people did what they WANTED to do because material goods were abundant? Ever heard of the Zeitgeist movement? Check it out. "Jobs" are just another form of slavery - Economic slavery, because money is made of Debt and that's what they pay you with. Time to change the Paradigm!

what material is that?

Its not about cost or speed, but rather about freeing us from that task, so what if its slow you dont have to do it, and in the future maybe we can sit back and have robots mine, build, plant, cook, clean ......

this is not about building faster or about costs, its about developing ways to free humans from labor intensive tasks (or any task.) isnt that the objective of technology

interssting Idea... much more applicable on a smaller scale currently tho. The cost in maintaining a complex machine large enough to do a house and exotic materials that would be needed would equal or surpass normal house building costs.

Fuck this idealistic BS. This is just another failed "quick-fix" that won't happen in the real world. It will be forgotten in another year or so.

Well if you really stop and think about it just beceause it may be forgotten as a emans to build a house it may be picked back up as a means to produce something else.

Hell potato chips were created by..I belive it was a french chef, who was angered by a customer who kept sending his potatos back to the kitchen asking they be cut thinner and cooked longer. Potato chips were invented beceause the chef had intended to anger the customer.

what is this, a center for ANTS??
