> You cannot sit down and ask an AI to write you anything long and complex and expect it to do so successfully without ... ... a lot of debugging. With practice, it can do long and complex and succcessful, and do so in less time than it would take to write it yourself.

It will still take a *lot* of debugging. It will be at least an order of magnitude longer than the time it took to write it, and the last 10% of production ready will take 90% of your time. But, it can still be significantly faster than writing it yourself.

In the grand scheme of things someone being here illegally and working construction is about last on my list of priorities

They bother me.

They are taking up housing that US citizens could use....everyone keeps complaining about needing more housing, eh?

They are a burden on our schools and other public resources.

They are dead weight on our medical system...in many cities they overrun the ERs of hospitals making it difficult for true US citizens to get emergency care in their own country.

Just a few examples.,,....the US budget would save a lot of money if they were GONE.

It turns out that immigrants commit fewer crimes than citizen

There you go again, conflating ILLEGAL migrants with LEGAL migrants, especially those that actually wish to come legally and become US citizens because they want to melt in and believe in our principals ans way of life.

Add some guard towers with machine guns and the border is starting to look like post WW2 Berlin.

Except in Berlin they were trying to keep people IN....there's a big difference from letting people freely leave if they want....and invasion from foreign entities.

Frankly, iI'd be all for settting up our snipers, they could get some free practice...

And a No Man's land....complete with a field along the border of land mines.

Ok I have a name for the project...

Operation: Hot Tamale

Thank you...thank you....I'll be here all week...

The DOD/DOW have been working on this for a while. They discovered, early on, that the device had a propensity to cause permanent nerve damage.

It's very unlikely the US have fixed that, as they'd largely sidelined the work as a failure. However, at 36%, Trump needs something he can call a win, no matter what the long-term consequences.

Am I the only one that finds her to be somewhat strangely attractive ?

She's not beautiful by any stretch.....but something about her, maybe the big eyes....I find somewhat attractive.

Anyone else?

...Now, does anyone have a spare $30K they could loan me?

I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a......

Are there any wearable countermeasures available to wear that will at least notify you these devices are in your vicinity....and, even better, emit some kind of signal or sound that will fsck up any AI recordings going on around you?

"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.â

I think we're seeing this in droves right now....

Do not taunt (Happy Fun) Claude...

"...99 luftballoons...."

Oh JFC.....

What's next...Trans-Bots and DEI for underserved Bot minorities?!!? H1-Bot....?

It sounds interesting from a hardware perspective ....

....but "Windows"? Ick...no thanks.

So...there's really a shed that people build to store bicycles?

Again, is this a European thing? I've never heard of a shed dedicated to storing bikes....I can see this is brewing used as an analogy for something else, but the shed/bike concept itself is foreign to me.
