I'm mostly too old to go to clubs, but to me techno and other electronic music is not about stages or visual effects, quite the opposite. Well OK, VFX can be cool.
But getting lost in music, in a darkened room with some intentionally disorienting VFX; or simply none, loud electronic music in a room with many people is already quite an experience...
that's quite different from being at a festival or at a show like this, which looks more like a musical opera performance to me.
For big room EDM, was there ever a time when it was not about laser shows etc?
I mean there's nothing wrong with stage shows, pop music and lasers.
As far as I can understand, the set of all computable numbers (including all algebraic numbers and many transcendental numbers, such as Pi), even has the same cardinality as the rationals, and thus the natural numbers.
The reason we consider uncomputable numbers "numbers" include some definitions about infinite series and analysis that would need to have stricter requirements for convergence when looking only at the computable numbers, not the real numbers.
And defining a concrete bijection between the natural numbers and the computable numbers would also solve the halting problem and is impossible, we only know that such a bijection exists: defining it would mean to have an algorithm that can prove for a specific Turing machine that it is the minimal one computing it's output, among a given set of universal Turing machines / UTM encoding.
(please take this with a grain of salt as I'm stepping outside the bounds of my knowledge here)
In addition to the limits of human planning and intellect, I'd also add incentives:
as cynical as it sounds, you won't get rewarded for building a more safe, robust and reliable machine or system, until it is agreed upon that the risks or problems you address actually occur, and that the costs for prevention actually pays off.
For example, there would be no insurances without laws and governments, because no person or company ever would pay into a promise that has never been held.

Sounds like (good) taste to me!
Like you mentioned, ofc nobody wants ugliness.
But "good taste" in software can mean things that are not just decoration. And presentation is not irrelevant because it is our interface to any software.
It's far more than "frontend" or even "how things look like".
Words like "user story" are made from grains of truth!
But aren't you ignoring that the headline might be simply critical of the very idea of autonomous agents with access to personal accounts etc?
I haven't even read the article, but just because we can, it doesn't mean we should (give autonomous AI agents based on LLMs in the cloud access to personal credentials)?
You don't need to give OpenClaw access to personal stuff. Yes, people are letting it read email. Risky, but I understand. But lots of others are just using it to build stuff. No need to give it access to your personal information.
Say you want a bot to go through all the HN front page stories, and summarize each one as a paragraph, and message you with that once a day during lunch time.
And you don't want to write a single line of code. You just tell the AI to set it all up.
Yep, I’m in this camp. My OC instance runs on an old MacBook with no access to my personal accounts, except my “family appointments” calendar and an API key I created for it for a service I self-host. I interact with a Discord bot to chat with it, and it does some things on schedules and other things when asked.
It’s a great tool if you can think of things you regularly want someone/thing else to do for you.
I have a somewhat similar use case. I do want it to go through my insta feed, specifically one account that breaks down statistical models in their reels, summarize the concepts and dump it to my Obsidian.
Personally I was thinking this is more similar to the "ruler issue", but at scale.
When the LLM is partly a black box, it could – in theory– mean that it's developed some heuristic to detect the environment it's run in, but this is not obvious to the developers?
But I agree about your main point... LLMs or AI in general as a black box behaving autonomously in some unexpected way is not something I currently fear.
The erratic behaviors are less of a problem than LLMs acting as obfuscators of bias and their own training data, I guess.
