Wonder if the sinister look was demanded by the clients or the person doing the design.
I have strong feelings on research students who are not able to learn how to write bash and python etc scripts.
Why? capitalism is the most effective system.

Why? Capitalism needs sla...
But yeah I think we might have ran out of ideas.
E: also "Look What They Need to Mimic a Fraction of Our Power" but the power is walking at a leasurely pace.
A humanoid robot with a cloth cover feels really iffy. That thing will smell like hell.
It has some usage if your don't care about quality or consistency. See the vibe coders. Firing most of your team because a lot of unimportant stuff can be vibe coded (and your customers are locked in and nobody in management knows what a Trust Thermocline is), and then suddenly openAi drives up prices, causing the secondary company to go poof or also raise prices. And suddenly you are left with a garguantuan mess that you can no longer properly afford. A technical debt accelerant. I mean people are using this shit, even if we know it is shit (and they might also knwo it but it is forced from above).
Of course if you believe in markets these badly run companies will go under invisible hand etc etc.
I think when you have integrated all this into your workflows doing that and going back might be hard esp on the enterprise level.
yeah, no I agree that blockchain is a bad example, just think we shouldn't understate the massive damage that has done. Not just in actually damaged systems but also just in additional cost that now everybody has to worry about this. Same as how AI is not just causing climate change problems by running it, but the scraping as well has increased the cost of running a webserver by 50% in load alone. (which on a global scale is just horrid). And then there is the forcing of it in everything, the burning of the boats.
I wonder how often Musk fires employees who explain to him that, no using tesla cars for distributed computing is a bad idea and we should stop working on this.
Lol yeah I was thinking about either posting about cognitive dissonance or mentioning that trying to find the kernels of corn in shit still means you are digging through shit. Cognitive dysentery is so much better.
