I think it is a good idea and has its place I also think both teams working on it are overselling it, downplaying its limitations, hiding the risks from users, and discouraging safe use of their software by prioritizing a venmo-like user experience that only works when users trust the server.

Yes, he is a magician called Michael Carbonaro and his gimmick is that he presents his magic tricks as if they were real products for sale in regular stores. Some of his tricks involve juicers with unlimited juice, impossibly packed "mini" versions of real products, a smart fridge that magically fills up with contents you select from a tablet, and many others. In this one he presents a suit jackets, pants, and hanger that supposedly all pops put of a credit card sized package. (I didn’t show the hanger part, you can find the full trick on his youtube channel.) But it reminded me of how Ark packs many user funds into a single utxo, and how surprising it is that a user can "unpack" their funds from that one utxo.
