> We don't call architects 'vibe architects' even though they copy-paste 4/5th of your next house and use a library of things in their work!

Maybe, but they do it through the filter of their knowledge, experience and wisdom, not by rolling a large number of dice to execute a design.

LLMs are useful, just less useful than people think, for instance, 'technical debt' production has now become automated at an industrial scale.

How many friends do you have that are (convicted) pedophiles?

If you had any, would you tell anyone about them?

If no, why is that?

Patently false on both counts. There is always some level of intoxication and many people use pot to manage anxiety, pain, nausea and lack of appetite, while avoiding the high.

I've had someone tell me "pot isn't a drug" and what they meant is that pot is like alcohol.

In my experience (short term) memory completely recovers after you stop smoking pot.

If we've learned anything from this administration it is that the government can ignore the law longer than you can stay alive. Arming yourself against lawless government in every legal way is advisable.

I'm not even saying you're wrong, I'm saying what does that have to do with a valid search warrant being executed?

There's a fair bit of dispute about whether this is valid. The active criminalization of journalism is worrisome.

It's signed by a judge, it's valid. What is in dispute, exactly?

It's a con, his AI business is failing, so he's rolling it up into the profitable business. Did a similar thing with Twitter.

This is so obvious, but it's so stupid and at this scale that people find it hard to believe.

If they AI business is failing why did they just do a successful large raise?

Your implication is that investors are in some way infallible? Hilarious.

WeWork or Theranos. Have we forgotten about them?

If the AI business is successful why does it keep changing hands? Where are the profits?

No ai companies have profits yet.

I've had some amateur adventures with my jury-rigged equipment (pressure washer, wet-vac) involving the long term collision of an idiot who pours grease down the sink drain and an in use toilet.

The most notable thing was the smell I encountered. It could literally knock a man down. It was the most unbelievable thing I'd ever experienced.

> to leave those allies with only American companies to buy from

This is conspiratorial nonsense, the EU has Sweden's Ericsson and Finland's Nokia and along with South Korea's Samsung there are plenty of choices. I can't actually think of comparable American companies.

> The ICE person states they will not try to enter and if the clerk touches them, they will yank the person out of the building.

I'm not sure what the agent has to do to qualify as a threat to you, but at the very least this is thuggish behavior. The embassy is Ecuadorean sovereign territory where the staff have immunity from US laws, threatening to yank someone out of there is like extracting someone from Ecuador by force. It's highly offensive.

If you tried that at a US embassy you'd probably be shot, but it's generally impossible because they are all heavily secured and fortified.
