Endless robotic loop of a toy train

posted by Jason Kottke   Apr 26, 2017

This video of robot continuously building a looped track in front of a toy train is definitely a metaphor for something. Procrastination? Living paycheck to paycheck? Life with small children? I don't know, but it makes me SO ANXIOUS! Why does it wait so long to place the next section of track?!! I couldn't watch for more than 10 seconds or so.
