The archaic “wrought” for “worked”, now commonly found only in set phrases such as “wrought iron”, makes me think of the interns as apprentice blacksmiths bashing red-hot pieces of OCaml on anvils. :-)
…Then I open the article and I see they’re doing… something with a table and fire and pointy metal sticks and… things? What are they doing there? Alchemy? Pyrography? Cooking? ó_o
I wouldn’t be surprised, but I figure the author or other person who wrote the prompt for it might have had something more specific in mind than just “interns doing stuff”. (The file name doesn’t help; it’s just “interns.png”.)
On the other hand, looking at the details, maybe it’s not AI? I very well might be underestimating AI image generators, but could they do “and put a fuzzy version of our logo projected into the sky from a searchlight”?
Looking at the picture again, I notice some details I had overlooked the first time I looked at it, like what looks like a large bucket overhead — a “ladle” for moving molten metal? — and what looks like a very large “micro”processor on a brick wall at the left, with a symbol on it that looks vaguely alchemical-ish (reminds me of the magic microprocessors in Gunnerkrigg Court), although that might be merely three circuit traces (that are on the casing of the processor for some reason?).

AI generated imagery, am I right?
