"AI-powered" and "20 foot robots" are not phrases that should be used in the same sentence. Also, surely leasing an autonomous robot for $20k a month is more expensive than leasing a regular machine and hiring a worker or two to operate it. Construction workers aren't paid anywhere near $240k a year, and you'll need someone with an emergency stop button watching the autonomous robot anyways.

I didn't even let my latest laptop boot to Windows when I first turned it on, the Linux USB stick went in right away. But for those who use Windows for one reason or another, always perform a clean install; manufacturers love including all sorts of crap by default.
I'm so glad I deleted my Instagram account.
And they say 5G signals are harmless! Tips tinfoil fedora.
It's a good plot for a book, but as for actually happening in the real world haha no way.
That comes out to a speed of 7.5km/h or 4.7mph, barely above a brisk walk. Good to know if I ever need to outrun humanoid robots it won't be hard. (The self-driving cars are another matter).
Robots are a lot more energy efficient than humans. Human muscles are around 25% efficient while robotic motors can be >90%. However they lose massively in energy density. 100 grams of carbs has 1.7 MJ of energy, which is equivalent to 2-3kg of lithium batteries. A human can run for hours on a kg of calorie dense foods, while a robot would need a bulky battery or constant battery swaps/recharges.
It's certainly better than using a random online service, but I still find the idea of being emotionally dependent on a computer algorithm deeply unsettling. I hope someday you can find a real girlfriend to talk to. :)
A small test reactor paves the way for bigger, more practical reactors. You can't start with a full-sized gigawatt model; you need to test and validate your designs at a small scale first.
Let me guess, the old "change the text background to black" redaction trick? A classic.
Minecraft itself is really easy to pirate; if you don't mind it not being open source you could just do that.
This is the kind of AI that will change the world, not the word salad machines that burn through massive amounts of compute to sound kind of intelligent. The ability to train an AI model to identify problems is incredibly useful, whether it's sewer blockages or cancer cells.
