Either I am growing stupider, or the words are getting more difficult. I just seem to struggle more lately, taking 6 rows to get the word.

In other words, only listen to what the "real" Musk is shilling at the moment? I see no difference.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

One of them has more depth and humanity.
The other one wasn't generated by a computer.

This news has invariably increased the rounds in the media. Elon Musk explained that how the BitVex project will provide individuals who deposit their cryptocurrency in the platform with a 30% return on their investment every day within three months. Since the video is made from a real interview the Tesla CEO gave to TED head Christ Anderson in April, it doesnβt immediately raise red flags until both of them start talking. Their voices barely match their mouths.

However, it appears I must have forgotten Wordle yesterday (a really long day out, knackered when I got home) as my streak of 38 has now become a streak of 1.

Could be worse. My streak of 67 ended because we were without power for 54 hours. 
Or maybe yours is worse. I hope you were exhausted knackered, not gelded knackered.

I am sitting here trying to do some work while alongside me my wife is attempting to set up a Zoom discussion with a friend. Neither of them know what they are doing, so it has been interesting hearing their learning curve. At least it was at the start, now I will have to go and chop some firewood before my blood pressure goes off the scale.
I know that I find that interface fairly transparent, but maybe they need a "just heard about computers" interface as an option?

people who design and write interfaces should have the interfaces tested by novices in their presence, from day one.
The designer is a bit subjective without this feedback.
Ideally the designs should be driven by objective user test results. Boeing learned this when designing interfaces for their users. They found that subjective test data from experts (pilots, etc.) was not as good. Pilots all had various opinions about interfaces so Boeing went to objective testing results to find the most efficient design.
Side note:
I once flew in a Boeing simulator with zero flying experience. With the destination already set, I took off, flew and landed with minimal instructions. Very cool, except I blew out the tires landing too fast and steering too sharp. Their simulator even had that part of the landing modeled. That's the objective test results they were getting.

Thatβs a fantastic post & a great example. UI Designers often blame the user or say βwell itβs complex software so the UI is complicated.β But your example shows that even something as complex as piloting a jet aircraft could be simplified for general use if the designers cared to do so.
Have you read The Design of Everyday Things: Revised and Expanded Edition - Kindle edition by Norman, Donald A.[^]
The book explains how designers often do things wrong then blame the user and the users often feel stupid even though they really arenβt. The design just makes them feel that way.

You overlook the stupidity of management. Before I retired, I tried to design based on real user input. Often, when I demo'ed the result to management, they just had to change it, making it needlessly complex and cumbersome to use. Instead of putting the most common two or three items at the top of a list followed by the remainder of the choices in alphabetic order, they required full alphabetical order.
For example, let us look at selecting client language. In the United States, English and Spanish are the most common languages; they would require Africaans and Arabic at the top of the list and Spanish way down below Farsi, German, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and a host of others.

I wouldn't call this management "stupidity". It's trying to make it look as if you add value even though you're far from expert in, or have only put superficial thought into, what you're commenting on. Code reviews are just as useless when "reviewers" harp on variable names or formatting because they have nothing to say about design or merely skimmed the code and missed bugs that could have been spotted with due effort.
I would have told them that the UI was carefully considered, that their input would be noted but that they would not be making decisions on the UI, and that the demo's purpose was to show that a milestone had been reached and provide a preview of what would be shipping.

The software in question was for in-house use only by company staff. The language choice was for matching clients with clinical providers and translation services. After several months of use, the language breakdown of our new and re-evaluated clients was something like:
- English - 80%
- Spanish - 55%
- Korean - 15%
- American Sign - 5%
- All others - 1%
The total is higher than 100% because I allowed multiple language selection. If more than one was selected, I would pop up a box asking for the order of proficiency. The numbers given are approximate - I do not remember the exact figures, as I retired several years ago.
