"It feels like my brain finds a way to do something else and avoid painful situations like boredom or hard work."

You just described ADHD.

You just described 90% of todays music videos made by humans.

Vinyl records were a pain in the back, tapes were a pain in the back, CDs were a pain in the back. I still remember the day when mp3 became publicly available. I immediately started ripping and converting everything, and never looked back.

Nowadays, I can buy a $3 microcontroller board and make it play mp3's. And it'll outlive most CDs that are pressed today, so what?

The site has CAPTCHAs, and I'm too dumb to solve them, because the pictures are so bad that I can't make out anything.

How did we get there?

I can totally see pcb manufacturers like JLC integrating this into their websites, with a set of customized design rules and an order button.

Just yesterday I tried to find an annoying and persistent bug in the cummunication between a Lyrion Media Server and my player. I used Opencode's native Big Pickle AI, and first it was a pain in the back, because it gave me a new code, I had to start the player and test the control in the server's web GUI, report the errors back, and so forth, and it tried a lot, but never found the real cause.

Then I got tired, and told it to use PlayWright to control the browser and test by itself. After some hangs, that I had to stop manually, it did all by itself, and finally fixed the bug. I had to increase the agents' steps setting in the config, but that was it. While it was fixing the bug, I surfed the web, and kept an eye on it, but it did everything on it's own. impressive.

Thy're probably using their own AI to find violations. Go figure.

"5% of every knowledge workers salary to go into tokens. 20% if you're a developer"

Not unreasonable. I'm a hardware developer, and my employer spends ~10% of my salary on software tools. Add hardware tools and their maintenance and it's more like 30%.

"deletion of the Private Cloud subscription triggered deletion across both geographies"

It's called single point of failure, and it's the nightmare of everyone who was ever in charge of safety.
