From what I understand his initial reveal of the Tesla robots did have a human in a bot costume dance on stage which is why some people assumed it was the same situation with the more recent demonstration. That demo was remotely controlled as you said.

I remember watching that one Brian Lunduke talk about Systems and being convinced that it was bad. But honestly I ended up really learning Linux after it had dominated everything and… I don’t really know if I would ever want to bother with another init system.

All I remember is that it was breaking the “do one thing and do it well” philosophy. Also it has become a bit of an monolith.

But it is also a power users wet dream.
