Is this a gemini vs Antigravity-cli thing? I use agy as my cli at home and it's as good as Opus/Sonnet for me -- but I haven't tried very taxing tasks. I use Aragon/Flash. I'm not modifying large code bases, more like vibe coding throwaway projects at home.
Plastics are genuinely useful. They make a lot of existing things more convenient, and a lot of new things possible. Our world has been absolutely transformed since they became a thing. Things that used to be heirlooms (cutlery, plates) have become literally disposable. They are in every household, on every person, and in every person, whether anyone wants it or not.
It's not just about mass production either; 3D printing wouldn't be there without plastics, and I don't need to tell you how empowering it is.
At the same time, plastics are also fucking up the planet on an unpecedented scale. The waste, the pollution, and the consumerism / disposable culture plastics helped create are unsolved problems.
Plastics are still effectively unregulated; plastic bag bans are not even a band-aid for this problem. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch [1] will outlive all of us, and we have no idea how to get microplastics out of - well, everything now that they are in everything.
The true statement is: "This is not considered treason in the current legal framework of the US".
Which is exactly the point the OP is making: it is not normal.
What Russia is waging against the US is war according to their own doctrinal documents[1].
If we're stupid enough to accept this as peace while they make one gain after another, it's not a basis for saying that Elon's meddling isn't treason.
This should be a wake-up call.
The world has changed. War has changed. And Russia was brazen enough to publish the new rules.
I hope at least people here have the clarity of mind to read them and understand the implications, beyond "the Constitution uses a particular wording to define treason".
