I've seen some terrible AI-written tests. You have to check that code too. You have to check all the code.

Code review done properly plays a very big role in ensuring programs are correct. Everybody knows how hard it is to get complete test coverage. You need layers.

> No, it wasn’t a Nazi salute (unless Biden, and Hillary and Obama are all Nazis too having made the same motion)

Yeah just like this car's motion is the same as that of an aeroplane.

   "Mythos5, make a presentation about X,Y,Z with nice and meaningful transitions"
The only way this could possibly produce acceptable output is if nobody was going to care or pay attention to your presentation in the first place.

In this context good faith means not saying you're here to negotiate only to stall for time while you're secretly planning to invade the other country in the background, which is exactly what the US did. So Iran has no reason to take US "negotiations" seriously ever again.

Pretty sure this is correct. You only notice it when it comes right out of the top. Other days it may be 25%, 50%, or 75% of the way up. And that's still bad for your oesophagus over the long term. My dad got cancer right at the bottom and one potential cause was chronic acid reflux (GERD leading to Barrett's eosophagus).
