I hope you enjoyed my stupid take yesterday, let’s try if I can make a less stupid one.

When you start trying to do something useful, like DIY electronics, or furniture, or art&craft (with uncle rob), at the beginning of the journey you won’t get proper organization with shelves and boxes and categories (unless you’re made of money, have spare room and someone competent set it up for you). As your hobby progresses, you will likely end in a situation when you have many medium-sized containers with completely unorganized contents - like, one part of each type in each of the containers. And there could be many kinds of parts, so it’ll be completely disorganized mess without any way of finding any of that.

I am saying this for a long time that the most critical application for AI now is a machine which can sort garbage. You know, all that stuff you dump into recycle bin, which then gets to some real people who basically do slave labor and sort that shit out into categories. That is the real problem to solve, not any of this vibe science bullshit (which will not work anyway, but try telling that to people peddling it - it’s like trying to tell a jehova’s witness that no, your bible-themed fanfic doesn’t contain all the answers to everything).

Anyway, once that problem is solved, it should be a short hop to solving functional hoarding described above. Just when you release a part, it gets sorted into a bucket! We can even have dynamically printed gridfinity-style buckets! How cool is that!
