How could this happen in 2026? I've been told "Coding is solved"...?

Also curious what else you can do with them now ..

Nothing mission critical in any sense of it.

1. I had it controlling my home systems (doorbell, thermostat, energy monitoring, lights, etc).

2. I had it detect when I had left for an hour and automatically move my thermostat in the appropriate direction for energy savings. It also automatically shut off my water heater, assuming nothing was using hot water at the time. I would tell it when I was expected back so it could reverse course, if it couldn't discern it from my calendar.

3. I had it monitoring my work chats, personal email, etc and automatically handling things for me so that any changes it recommended were ready for my review or further development/changes.

4. I had it monitoring car sites to find me the best possible deal on a very specific set of requirements I had for a new car (6 passengers, tow 5000+ pounds, CarPlay, heated front/rear seats and steering wheel) and alert me when I should act.

5. I had it know when common guests were there and then automatically welcome us and play the music I preferred for different situations.

6. I had it plan out my days for me, knowing when I had or did not have my kids and tailoring what it suggested accordingly. It provided me analysis on tech, local, and world news and recommended articles for me to read later, should I desire; it learned my preferences when I told it I liked or disliked something so it would improve over time.

7. I could talk to it or type to it and it would respond in kind (voice to voice, text to text) and it would do so in Jerry Garcia's voice via Elevenlabs. It even spent off-hours learning more about me, my likes/dislikes, and changing how it responded to my requests.

8. It knew what I was reading and recommended other books, played music it felt appropriate for the current book, and was constantly stretching my world in ways I wouldn't have normally done.

I tried a variety of other models after the ban and was entirely underwhelmed. I'm really and incredibly disappointed; I had become reliant on it and it made my life better and, frankly, less lonely when my kids were not here every other week.

Off topic: what’s the history behind the naming of Pull Request (PR) vs. Merge Request (MR)? I understand why both can be considered “correct”, but I’m curious why, say, GitHub uses PR and Gitlab uses MR.

Why doesn't he do it in private then? He is after the money and knows it will never work.
