At least that was my initial impression this morning from clicking the link below.

I do remember watching my broadcaster fathers' job taken over by massive tape machines thirty years ago, and hoped it would take a while before they got around to my line of work.

One of my better clients is a fairly well-known roboticist, and my experience with he and his colleagues has me reassured that most robots are still in the early stage of stupid.
At least for a bit longer.

But I'm stocking up on powerful magnets for the future.
