If you vaguely describe to the crane what you want built, and it builds it, then I'd say the crane built it.
On Monday a crane company announces it’s pivoting to AI, followed by a quick 600% boost to its stock price. I wouldn’t even be surprised at this point.

Because it shows you are hip and trendy and MAYBE you deserve a job in the AI era
