  • People who’s roles mean they live off stolen credit of workers. People can add value to a company in lots of ways - Organisers, managers, leads, and grunts.

    However, there’s a class of people that do nothing. They’re often in high level positions, and talk a good talk but do nothing. Their teams have no respect for them and have to do their role for them. They should have been fired long ago, but there’s often a cluster of them protecting each other. They gravitate towards roles like project manager, sales, customer relations, but I don’t want to say it’s everyone in those roles because sometimes you get good ones. It’s also not limited to them.




    • Buy CPU from AMD
    • Buy GPU from Nvidia
    • Buy motherboard from MSI
    • Buy RAM from Corsair
    • plug them together and put it in a case.
    • plug HDMI cable between GPU and handy LCD monitor.
    • Install Windows

    The point I’m making is there’s so much technological development in manufacturing that has to take place before you can even start, it probably wouldn’t happen any faster. Just the technology that builds the machines that builds the machines that build the chips is beyond the 1920s.

    Turing’s papers on computing were all pre-WW2 anyway.


  • There was a British charity, The Spastic Society. They became fairly high profile in the early 80s being involved in children’s magazine shows for fund raising. Often children with conditions would be featured. The intent was that featuring them would make the condition more relatable, but kids saw them more freaks to be mocked.

    It resulted in “spastic” / “spaz” becoming school playground taunts to the extent that the charity changed it’s name to avoid the term.




  • Inference of 3D models exists. Combined with a rule deck of what the machine is capable of (i.e. so tools aren’t broken) I think you could be very close to “prompt to object” prototyping flows — if they don’t already exist.

    Still might need a pair of hands to clean up.

    Now, how many botched tries are people willing to to pay the material cost of, who knows?
