In Jewish folklore theres a non living creature called a Golem (yes , I imagine thats where Tolkein got the name from) which is made from the soil. Not strictly a robot but certainly shows people could imagine solid creatures (as opposed to spirits) that weren't natural that could be created out of mundane substances.

In Islam, jinn are sentient beings created by God from smokeless fire, existing in a world parallel to humankind.

We are two-person software developer company. Our greatest hurdle was to hire and retain help. I use DeepSeek now and it is like we hired someone. Mainly, I ask it to review my code. Nearly all of its suggestions are spot on. I also asked it implement well defined modules a few times. I had to fix some glaring bugs, but it still managed to produce nice code. My general feeling of AI in software development is that as long as an experienced developer is in the command it is helpful and productive. Another thing is that this is nothing new. We had Internet before and you could just search and find solutions, good practices, gotchas, examples and templates. AI makes it very efficient. It is like an elaborate copy and paste system.

jerryjamesstone writes "Everybody is into rail these days; it is the greenest way to get around next to a bike. Leonid Mulyanchik has been into it for years since before the Berlin Wall fell, since before the first Macintosh, building his own private underground Metro railway system. English-Russia says that he has been doing it with his pension, that it is all legal and approved and that he is still at it. Gizmodo calls it 'Partly the traditional, inspiring, one man against all odds type of persistence, but more the obsessive, borderline insane persistence.'"
