Went to a trade show where a mechanical factory arm was spinning and moving a car around in the air, demonstrating its dexterity and strength. Also just a marketing stunt because there’s no practical reason for a mechanical factory arm to be doing such things. Just 100x less engineering effort gone into it.
Are you all shocked and writing about it. Mission accomplished.

It’s like he’s a bad product manager, forcing you to build things nobody actually wants. Except make that product manager a trillionaire surrounded by sycophants. Nightmare shit.
