That's just for new construction though. What about all the existing homes that need repairs?

- tucnak 2y agoWell, there's going to be less of those. As construction industry is further incentivised to use more efficient methods and materials for their plumbing, driven by the ever-competitive housing market (that would likely see a crash in our lifetime, you know?) making the point moot. I think nobody is delusional that there's blue ocean in plumbing, or some hidden plumbing Renaissance of human labour. Do people even want to do manual plumbing in the first place?
- thatcat 2y agoGood luck given the codes in place for all these things, not to mention trade unions.
- tucnak 2y agoThe unions only protect employees from the employer, not the market. The point of contention here is whether modern-day trade school could ever provide that which they say they do—career security, that is. Nobody dreams about becoming a plumber when they're little. Clue
- treis 2y agoSure, but it's still an AI plumber even if it can't replace every single plumber.
