Performance

gollark: Unfortunately, shipping container houses have various issues.
gollark: I would much prefer a giant plastic/metal cuboid with some holes in it over the bespoke designs of today if it was fairly modular.
gollark: Even if it costs half as much and you can actually replace bits?
gollark: It does seem like houses are overcomplicated in various ways, and poorly optimised for maintenance.
gollark: General robotics is still not very advanced compared to other AI things.
