HOW SHOP BOTS ARE USED TO BUY YEEZY’S

Artificial intelligence has been on a high rise for the last ten years. With so many devices and soft ware programs, artificial intelligence is almost every where. E-commerce companies like Amazon and eBay began to advise their consumers about personalized assistants called “bots.” These “bots” come in different strategic methods: Shop-bots and Chat-bots. These bots give a leverage to buying items online before they sell out.

​Today, we see this happening more in the sneaker community. Online shoppers use bots to buy items in bulk or to fast-click the shoe they want to purchase. Brands like Nike or Adidas could release a new shoe online and online users buy bots to get their shoes. A regular person who would like to buy a pair of Kanye West's YEEZY sneaker now has to compete with an online boutique or user that has a bot. A regular person can click only one time to purchase the shoe, whereas, a bot sends 100 clicks per second, making the chances of purchasing the shoe greater.

This is Josh, he explains to me how he uses his shop bot.

Pretty proud of this #toybox I made for my munchkin! Designed in #illustrator and cut out on a #lasercutter and #shopbot #cncrouter. It has a #map of #Germany and #USA, #gameboard, #letters and #numbers in German! #proudpapa

Finally got in to use the CNC router! I cut some fancy shelves to put on my desk and hold my stuff! They’re made out of 1/4″ birch plywood. This was basically my test piece for making furniture on the router, so now that I’ve got it partially worked out you may see more of this from me!

Oh, since I haven’t posted this tool to the internet before, here’s the brief rundown three different ways:

• It’s like a laser cutter but huge, and with a router instead of light.

• It’s a computer-controlled cutting machine for large sheet goods like plywood, particle board, acrylic etc. It traces lines like a plotter. Since it’s hard to make a simple saw cut curves in arbitrary materials, it uses a high-speed router bit (like a drill, but set up to push sideways through the material) to eat through the material.

• Plywood goes in, furniture comes out.

I originally put together the design for these shelves over a year ago, but then Everything Kept Happening All The Time and I didn’t manage to make it in to actually use the router for a long time.

Also, wow it’s cheap to use this router. I went to an artists’ shared work space near me called Artisans’ Asylum to do this. It’s like $25 to get in for the day, then it’s only $20 per hour of cutting time. This only took 25 minutes. (Their laser cutter, when it’s working, is $1 per minute of cutting. Compare that to $3 per minute at the place I used to work at, which is now out of business.) (Of course there’s the cost of the training on this machine to factor in, but it was almost a year ago so it doesn’t feel too immediate.)

Today I have been taught the folly of saying a thing will be easy. I wasn't feeling well, but I thought it important I finish running maintenance on the machines so the parts wont dry out. 3 hours and then home I said. It's 7 hours later, the machine still isn't level. Though hopefully in 15 minutes I can finally go home and sleep before I come back on Sunday to be told once more, to go eat shit, by a machine that does nothing but hum.

When people ask what I make... the answer is mostly a mess. But at least at the shop I always clean up after myself. If only I could learn that trick at home. Trying out a new box bit to see if I like it I'm not sure I do though, but I was brave enough to router the inside of a box which terrifies me but worked out okay. #cattrays #shopbot #shopvac https://www.instagram.com/p/CXkaAvkMbIp/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sometimes things go great, and sometimes you have to Frankenstein jury break up board clamp hold down system just to cut a few trays. Today was the second. #shopbot #cnccats #cnccat #makersgonnamake (at Maker Works) https://www.instagram.com/savingthrowpillows/p/CXP8RnUsgH6/?utm_medium=tumblr
