I recently read that data collection/sale as an “edge service” has been a part of Toyota’s strategy for a hot minute.
“You may not be surprised that a company like Toyota uses technology it installs in all the cars it sells in Japan to produce data that powers its onboard GPS service. You may be more interested to know that Toyota recognized that the value of this data was not uniquely associated with its primary use. As we will discover in chapter 8, this insight enabled Toyota to successfully launch a new business offering traffic telematics services to businesses and municipalities across Japan using the same data.”
Weirdly hostile, but ok. It’s like any other tool that can be used to accelerate a process. Hopefully at some point it’s useful enough to streamline the minutia of boring tasks that a competent intern could do. Not sure who is specifically targeting welders??
If it frees up your time to focus on more challenging stuff or stuff you enjoy, isn’t that a good thing? Folks are dynamic and will adjust, as we always have.
Don’t think there’s a good excuse to come at someone with animosity over this topic.
Good song, great video

Grilled veggies, crispy garbanzo, some Greek yogurt and zaatar. Super quick and easy.
Cool, do it
