"If you don't figure out how to be excited to live here, you're just going to be left behind."
"It is coming and everyone is doing it so you just have to figure out how to use it."
This is closer than you think. Take this lovely floorplan (and that's one of the better ones I've seen):
And yes, there's multiple companies offering this as a service:

I don’t see the issue. Americans love cars and they love AI. This has both

Sarcasm: They must also love both the hospital visits and their insurances scamming them.
Hey I mean on first glance it just looks fine.
Then you notice the cars can't leave.
Then the bedroom goes into the garage. Then you can't enter the dining hall except through the front door.
Then the bedroom where you walled in your child without any way out...
That last one is like if Escher went to arch school
I kinda dig the double balcony tbh.
I'm with it. Like, you can choose not to leave me the fuck alone when I need some space, but you're going to have to put a little intention into that shit.
Seriously, who wouldn't want to hang out on bunk balconies
I like Escher. I did a project on him in Art class. We had one each year. I did Du Champ and Dali as well. I have become a fan of Basquiat recently because of my life partner.
Rings some bells, but it was Matisse and Manet for me. Didn't really know Basquiat's work until I saw the Geoffrey Wright biopic in the 90s.
Number one radiates "It broke and was easier to do stairs, saved budget on railing." Which I get.
I just like number three. Good use of space.
Wait until you find out about how this is pretty much new home construction anyways.
What do you mean? We shouldn't let men who constantly lie about what 9 inches looks like be the ones measuring insulation in the attic?
But seriously, buddy just bought a brand new home and I did a once over for him. Pretty sure my cat has made more well done hairballs

You must watch Cy Porter.
If you can believe it, it’s more to do with the commercial interests that develop these properties don’t want to pay to do things right so it ends up being cut corners and underpaid labour on anything that doesn’t help you sell it for a quick buck
I was helping my dad put some shelving into the alcoves at their new house and it was horrendous. Those things weren't even close to square. Fortunately we cut them based off how wide it was at the front and not the back... Just looking around that place there's a ton of shit that was clearly half-assed. I still don't understand what they were thinking with this because their old place was rock solid and they didn't gain anything by moving.
I still don't understand what they were thinking with this
They were thinking, "damn, we can't even afford this half of an ass with how low we bid to get this job."
I hope for your sake that was it. Some of the walls in those new houses I've seen lean from top to bottom. Like, a crown is expected, this is a straight up Michael Jackson Thriller impression. It blows my mind that's it's cheaper to slap them together and have to redo whole walls post drywall than do it right the first time.
Before it was cool
Is that GroverHaus?
I pitched the idea of an AI clock at a meeting once. Basically you ask what time it is and the AI checks it's LLM and then confidently tells you the time it thinks.
Now, do you believe it?
Take it a step further and have AI set meetings for you or tell you what is on your calendar.
Do you trust it or do you check your calendar?
The amount of trust we are putting into a machine that is effectively a probability script is mind boggling.
People keep telling me "That's not how you're supposed to use it."
And I keep having to remind them, "But that's how it works."
Yet there are people who believe in agentic AI, and I think I heard that some are actually using it in their daily lives. Not sure I believe them.
American engineering...
The difference is that LLMs generate something that is designed to blend in. It's supposed to convince someone that it was made by a human.
So, a "vibe constructed" house would probably look like a real house to someone who didn't know much about houses. But, the pipe from the sink might just go into a space between the walls. The electrical system would be a random mess of lines that would short out as soon as it was connected to the grid. The doors might look right at first, but when you tried to open one you'd see that the hinges were installed in a way that opening it was impossible.
One good way to realize how unreliable LLM is was to ask something that you are expert of.
Manny people say that they aren't experts in anything so that won't work well for them, but here is one way.
Reddit made a deal with Google and OpenAI to send their data to them. I don't know if the deal with OpenAI is still valid as ChatGPT responses were a bit outdated, but Gemini definitively is getting the latest data.
If you have a Reddit account ask it about yourself, or someone you know well IRL. This works really will of it is an old account.
First responses might sound right but as you talk you see how it invents things and does so in convincing matter. You don't correct it, just ask more about it and how it will provide additional information backing it up, including links to Reddit posts (which don't mention any of it).
It is quite amazing. LLM is being sold to us as it can automate jobs but it real purpose is to be used on social media to manipulate our options. The bullshitting (oh, sorry, I mean "hallucination") is a feature.

You might be shocked to hear this but all of those issues happen with no AI involved at all. Every time a bastard is born you should slap an engineer.
Imagine if all plumbing was made out of cardboard. Sinks, toilets, pipes.
That’s modern computing.
There will be a 3D printer some day that prints at a molecular level and then you'll have vibe manufacturing. That will enable vibe construction.
"Uh I wouldn't take it down if I were you. It's a load bearing poster."
When even M C Escher would mock your architecture.
Fun fact: Texas doesn't require general contractors (the ones actually building structures) to have any kind of license or training. Vibe construction is pretty much how it's done - especially outside of cities where building permits aren't required and plans aren't reviewed.
I think it requires that everybody is smashed together with no room to breathe or wiggle or move, we are all smashed into that cube. That's the only way the world population will fit in there.
