@mavica I've had a think and come up with some ideas, no idea if they're any good

Assembly robot: you always see industrial robots making cars and you can too! just like, with scale models of stuff

Computer vision: there's a thing called https://www.bemyeyes.com/ where you can volunteer to identify visual things for blind people, could be a helper robot!

AI doing things: mechanical turk or similar maybe? Short tasks that just have you working as an AI, also gets you some beer money

putting all the stuff needed for a beowulf cluster into a docker so you can cluster your docker things

I mean, yes, duffel bags full of money, but what on earth led to that?

how the hell did just eat (uk equivalent of uber eats) manage to get Snoop Dogg to do their tv adverts?

@twitter @djsundog minus the quadcopter bit that's a thing

very good at wiggly walls

@noelle huh, I'd have assumed it meant "light's borked", we don't have those over here

sea bunny

they're actually a type of sea slug but they look bunny-like and are cute

@mavica blubb!

@halcy their favourite data type is BOOlean

@Nine feel free to report them and I'll do the banhammery thing
