+
+There's a difference, yes, but calling them "lock-free" feels like a marketing shtick still. Kinda like "UB". Maybe I'm too autistic, so to speak, but I don't like when words do not mean what they supposed to mean, even though I sometimes do the same.

+
+Human nature is to oversell things:
+serverless -> there are servers
+zero cost abstractions -> move cost elsewhere
+lock-free data structures -> hardware locks
+AI situation is even worse
+
+We must present everything as an absolute win, or it doesn't count. Why are we like this.
