Behold the wire-bending machine—a video I though would be curiously satisfying to watch, right up there in the “robots making things” pantheon of satisfying videos depicting repetitive movements, but which isn’t satisfying at all, really, even if it is briefly hypnotic when it makes the loops. It’s too staccato, too arrhythmic, too angry. You get the feeling the wire-bending machine hates its job.
