Just tell him respectfully, sometime.

As a parent, myself:

  • I totally don't mind if my kids tell me they can hear me. I appreciate knowing our communication lines are open.
  • I am still going to continue having (probably still loud) sex in the house. Unless my kids fully paying a roommate's share of the costs to run the home, they're still kids, not roommates.
  • I'll probably buy the kid some nice noise suppressing audio headset as a shopping surprise, sometime soon.

That sounds entirely reasonable.

The answer is 2.

Cling to known humans who write their own code.

Snake oil salesmen always encourage the public to bet against the experts, with predictable results.

Someday ethically sourced AI can be used responsibly by trustworthy coders.

But the key is choosing to collaborate with trustworthy coders.

There's been some great ideas here, but I like yours the best.

Bill Burr complaining about being forced to be the pope would be amazing.

Delightful quote:

Great analogy.

I think it's fair to tweak it and leave that second library with full accountability for the lack of desirability.

Domain names don't start out undesirable, they build their reputation from the content and users.

So it's like building a second library in a perfectly nice spot, and having that library attract people who dump pollution into the surrounding area, making it undesirable.

The actual act of exercise is pretty miserable for most of us. It's the hours in between exercises that for better, for me. I just generally feel better when I'm exercising more.

It sounds like you're getting plenty of exercise, so it's time to check into vitamins, meditation, mindfulness exercises and whatever else.

In your shoes, I would keep exercising, to keep that variable controlled while I tried the next change.

I don't know enough about it to confidently say they're going to lose all their money

It happened to my relative. They didn't lose everything, but they lost enough that they're shopping for a mobile home for retirement, when they previously could have bought a small house.

Plausible explanation.
