Clayco 2025: A Day in the Life

One of my favorite annual Clayco projects.

“A Day in the Life” photobook returns with a visual snapshot of the people, projects, and experiences that shaped 2025 at Clayco. Built from photos, sketches, renderings, drone images, and submissions from teams across North America, it reflects how our people show up every day to solve our clients' most mission-critical problems.

This book celebrates the partnerships we have strengthened, the communities we serve, and the shared commitment to safety and innovation that guides everything we do.

Together, these images tell the story of a year defined by growth, impact, and momentum.

TAKE A LOOK at the book here:

The Risk of Making Robots Too Human

Are human-like robots a breakthrough or a mistake? For decades, automation transformed American industry quietly, from robotic welding arms in auto plants to laser screeds revolutionizing concrete work. These machines improved safety, speed, and precision without threatening human identity. But today’s push toward humanoid robots—machines designed to look, speak, and act like us—marks a cultural shift with serious implications. As artificial intelligence accelerates fears about job displacement and economic insecurity, the rise of human-like robots risks deepening public distrust. Unlike industrial automation that stayed in factories and job sites, humanoid robots blur the line between tool and replacement. Work is tied to dignity, identity, and social standing. When machines begin to imitate people, the issue moves beyond productivity to something far more emotional and political. This article explores the social backlash, economic consequences, and cultural risks of making robots overly human-like. It argues that innovation should expand human capability—not compete with human identity—and that trust, not novelty, will determine the future of robotics and AI adoption in America.
