People also seem to always miss that we always engineer the product in order to be able to automate it.

The most automated things have been designed by engineers with robotic assembly in mind.

> [mortor] it’s a non-newtonian fluid, and it’s viscosity increases when it’s moved or shaken.

Which is why the points about non-Newtonian fluids like mortor changing viscosity seems right on the money. Anyone trying automation with normal mortor gives me zero confidence. I like the robot truck idea, seems like a winner compared to others.

Exo suits / better humans in the meantime, purpose built machines later.

Bogus reason. Plastic melt is also a non-Newtonian fluid and yet plastic parts production is thoroughly automated.

I’m not sure that tracks exactly. I think the issue is the stacking of very heavy things on top of a nnf goop.

The issue is that "buildings have been engineered to be built by humans".

So, the building tasks are set to be a compromise of materials and human skill.

If we want machines to build them, then we need different systems and materials.
