So, what is Cutlass, can someone explain whether checking for kernel names makes sense here or is a form of cheating?

Yeah, its just the contrast between the very exciting intro video and the completely baffling main menu was kindof crushing

Yes but that only works if the child is listening. Children dont listen to wiggly mad dudes waving around on the screen. They just randomly click around and giggle at things.

I remember watching my young nephew play Lego Island and the introductory video where the camera flies around the island is amazing. But then he was totally baffled by the 'main menu' when some excited lego guy babbles instructions at you in flowery hard-to-follow language, and you had to do abtract things like write in a book or drag icons onto the map before you got to do anything fun like racing cars. I think he could have clicked around that screen for hours and never realised he had to drag the people onto the map.
Great game but they wouldn't make it like that now. Its like a grown ups idea of an interface that a young child would like, rather than something actually tested.

Absolutely nothing should be getting called "legos", dear god, its "lego" or "lego bricks"

The same author was on twitter until recently giving his take on AI

There are people around who successfully predict new modes of creativity when humans and AI will be working together. Seriously: “working together”. Not: “humans using software”. One such software is called “Botto”. An artist is its inventor.

I read, there are machines that take an input text to generate images from it. That’s meant to be surprising. Haven’t programs always been texts? You mean, natural language texts are different? So what? Isn’t there Natural Language Programming?
I've got to say though, I dont think his takes were very good
"COBOL was one of the four “mother” languages, along with ALGOL, FORTRAN, and LISP."
