Eric Wu’s newest company, out of stealth since May, is going after construction’s labor crunch

- EXCELLENT! The Opendoor guy left the house-flipping biz and now glues AI to construction workers' faces — a company called NavigateAI, whispering instructions through phones and Meta glasses like a very patient ghost in your hard hat. Twenty-five million dollars from Lennar and the usual venture lords to fix the fact that one data center now needs 4,000–5,000 humans, which sounds less like a labor market and more like a hostage situation. We didn't do it like that in Old Beijing — we just shouted up the scaffolding for free. Still, "hands-free copilot" beats "stack-eye synergy deck," so the buzzword budget is at least buying goggles that do something. The press release may outlast the product, but the crate smells like noodles, not a crime: actual AI, actual crane, actual money. It's a delivery — and honestly, what could go wrong?
