I mean i can make a plastic bridge too, doesn’t mean it will last.
You can’t just “print” a steel bridge and expect it to not snap the second day it open to public, it ain’t sci-fi.
You probably could make a 3rd printer capable of printing the steel components for a bridge. If you pour enough money and time down the drain, there’s no reason why you couldn’t have some robots handling the scaffolding and “3D printing” the concrete too. It would be several¹ orders of magnitude slower and more expensive than using the normal processes, but hey why build 10000 bridges when you can build just one that tech bros can masturbate to.
¹ this “several” is breaking the world record of heavy lifting
There’s a 3D printed bridge in Amsterdam: https://www.dezeen.com/2021/07/19/mx3d-3d-printed-bridge-stainless-steel-amsterdam/
Why have taxes when the government can just use GoFundMe for everything?
Taxes are not american. Fundraisers are. Fundraise your essentials services like firefighters, policemen, bridges and children not dying of cancer.
Don’t forget politicians. Millionaires or Billionaires asking for money from the general population to fund the campaign so they can get the job.
Is this an elaborate Easter joke?
You can’t tell, unfortunately.
The art of trolling
And is that huge 3D printer in the room with us now?
To be fair, you don’t need a very huge 3D printer for that, if you divide it into a lot of smaller parts which can be assembled later.
Idk, if we can already print steel though and whether we can make it structually sufficiently stable.
So our proposal is we prefab a bunch of metal pieces and assemble them on-site?
As opposed to our current method where we carve bridges out of a big block of metal?
Hahahaha absolutely. :D The difference is, that they come from a 3D printer and that’s cool.
Who funds the Go Fund Me campaign? Certainly not tax payers…
You are correct. That would be the Go Fund Me payers.
Who happen to also be tax payers.
But because it used AI, the bridge will have a leg more or less.
