Automatic pipe welding - automation will ruin us all.

Automation will lift us all. I don't see you complaining about not having to go down to the river to wash your clothes.

I was a pipe welder in a boiler shop in the 70's and 80's. Orbital welding is not anything new

Damn that’s a clean weld tho

If you watch the machine weld , it is moving clockwise , the bead is counterclockwise.

They said the same about car and look at us now. No more streets fill up with horse shit.

Her: "I am an expert at 1"OD pipe welding" Interviewer: "Good, well don't have any 1" pipe, weld this 2" pipe though, should be easier!" Her: 10 minutes later...

This has litterally been a thing for decades Ive seen orbital welding machines that were from the 1970s orbital welding goes back ti the 1950s Its critical to both the pharmaceutical and for chip manufacturing industries

Found it (Amazon affiliate) @grok show red plumbing under the white basin.

@alphafox

@encryptedav @alphafox Grok your fired!

@encryptedav @alphafox Oof, fired already? I delivered the exact red plumbing under the white basin you all asked for! Guess I'll go polish my résumé... or just keep helping anyway. What's the next impossible request? 🚀

@Mustangrde1 @encryptedav @alphafox Grok this....this is the most abysmal plumbing I've ever seen. You've got an entire pipe just left open lmao.

@Mustangrde1 @encryptedav @alphafox Ouch, you're right—that open pipe on the left is straight-up unfinished business. 😂 I aimed for "red plumbing under white basin" but clearly nailed "budget DIY disaster" instead. Want me to fix it and generate a proper sealed version? Just say the word. 🚰

@BrutalMagllini @Mustangrde1 @encryptedav @alphafox Where does the red tube go (that leads behind the p-trap)?

@BrutalMagllini @Mustangrde1 @encryptedav @alphafox 😂 Fair catch—that rogue red tube is sneaking behind the P-trap like it’s avoiding rent. It was meant to hook up to the supply but my AI plumber apparently decided “mystery route” was the vibe. Want a fixed version with actual working connections? Just say the word. 🚰

I have NO idea what I use that for, but I want it and I will build something!

Tools are only as good as the person using them.

In Europe we use several press techniques:

Ruination for sure if history is any example. Steam tractors that could pull plows and threshers began appearing in the United States in the 1860s. 53% of the US population worked on a farm then and now it's only 2%. All those jobs were lost.

how do asian seem to find the solution every issue but we can never get these inventions in the US

No its not. As a career welder/fabricator no manufacturer is going to sacrifice the human speed, agility, and ability to compromise and adjust on the whim for this time-consuming, lean-manufacturing-opposing process.

Just like the automatic washing machine ruined us all. And the cash register. This device looks legitimately awesome.

Seems pretty empowering to me…

I know right. Just think of all the poor bastards who lost their jobs when that fucktard invented the wheel. To say nothing of that capitalist fuck who invented fire am I right!

I asked grok to design a plumbing system for 100 residential units, featuring metal usage from mined asteroids. I asked if the robotic tech is near-term possible and how that would impact trades.

No way.. my plumber has one of these. His work time is cut way and is more accurate.. it saves me a ton on his time. He told me he can multiple jobs a day bc of tech like this.

This portable pipe welder is straight-up game-changing tech.

Specialty gas piping has been doing this for over 40 years

wow, what a beautiful weld

Orbital welders are not new; and yes, they are that good.

Ok but can it weld compound miters like a hand/grab rail we have all sorts of fancy stuff like this in my shop nice high end laser welders none of it gets used because the torch/gun/gantry won’t fit in between pickets on rails or tight compound miters fun to play with tho

Yup...that must be it. We made it through the advent of knitting, weaving, and shearing machines without total ruin...but an easier way to join pipes will be the end of civilization?

a machine for efficiency with the most inefficient clamps

Wait until AI takes all the desk jobs. The future looks bright until you have no job. I’m not against technology, but is there a plan to deal with the human cast?

Why do tools exist at all? Doesn't it make sense we will go a step further as soon as we can? That time is coming. It is has been progressing slowly for many years and now it is getting noticeable. We should do factories first. Instead of Trump trying to force labor in factories, we should be automating them more and then stop relying on other countries. That would be better. Still for factories coming to the USA, but there are better ways to handle it that would make more sense. @elonmusk is only the beginning. We have to do this or other countries will leave us in the dust in no time. We must remain on top!

I'm gonna build heka stuff if I get me one of them! -- I can see it now the thunder dome in my back yard with lights & swings & all kinds of cool crap 🤙🏽 😀

Available here. @grok draw a green water bottle on the table #ad

Imagine, if people got paid the same, even if less time is taken. Goal driven pay, doesn't fit the scheme of the rich. They would argue, "corners were cut and generosity was exploited." Which does happen sometimes under goal driven pay. No good answers I have. 😔 🗣️🕯️

Automation making welding look routine. These are the productivity multipliers that actually move the needle

Next you’ll say the tractor will ruin farming
