#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

So we've written a pilot episode about forks.

Lex Fridman Podcast

And it's all about like...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

Why do they look the way that they do?

Like I spent, I made this fruit bowl.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

I had a fruit bowl and I was always annoyed that I had either too little or too much fruit for it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

So I made a fruit bowl where I can change the diameter of it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

It has a mechanism so you can like make it bigger or smaller.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

And that's just like the thing of being like,

bowls.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

Why are they the way that they are?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

I would happily live in that rabbit hole forever.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

Like if I could, if I can like dig out a little niche for myself there, because I think it's like,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

You know, they go so deep.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

Push-pull doors.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

Figuring out which.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

It is embarrassing.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

That was why I think it's so interesting with forks is that forks actually affect our eating behaviors.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

And they can get you to eat faster or slower, take bigger bites or smaller bites.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

And there are all these ways or like the social.
