$27 million dollar house and $5million dollar car, sure this guy is all about Open Software and going to handle AI properly

Notice how he made a big deal about "I'm pledge to give away all my money", it will probably be on BS like anti-aging, curing baldness, ...

I’ve worked on some of these lawsuits, including a rare few where buyers seeks to unwind the purchase. They’re all complete shit show money pits and the law makes it extremely hard for the plaintiffs to recover what a layperson would imagine they deserve even if they’re right, but this house just might be expensive enough to make it worth suing.

What was your role? (if you don't mind)

I was a jury consultant. Im now also a lawyer.

That sucks for Sam. I've seen luxury homes and normal homes and all homes have problems and luxury ones tend to be way more expensive. What I mean is that price is not a substitute for quality.

California should have new home warranty protection though and maybe that would cover significant remodels and what not. I am sure he tried the warranty remedy though, or maybe the lawsuit is to force that. I think 4 years for plumbing.. so it would depend on when he closed.

idk why subcontractors sabotage the house instead of just filing liens. A lien will get paid at closing. It does no-one any favors and may be criminal. If anyone is going to find them it's a billionaire.

He should ask ChatGPT what to do about it.

> I spent over $20 million on a house that was great but it’s not great actually it’s full of mold I hate it. What should I do?

1. Hire a professional mold remediation company.

2. Consult with a real estate lawyer about potential recourse.

3. Evaluate the cost of remediation versus selling and buying a new property.

4. Check for warranties or insurance coverage that might apply.

5. Consider relocating temporarily if mold poses health risks.

*Per Llama3:

Yes, you can become mold by following these steps:

Choose your mold species: There are over 100,000 known species of mold. You will need to decide which one you would like to become. Research different types of molds to find out their characteristics and habitats.

Prepare a suitable environment: Molds thrive in damp environments with high humidity levels. Find an area that is consistently wet or humid and set up your environment accordingly. This can be as simple as placing a bowl or container filled with water near the mold.

Create a food source: Most molds feed on organic matter such as decaying plant material, animal waste, or other fungi. Choose a suitable food source for your chosen species of mold and place it within your environment.

Monitor conditions: Keep an eye on the temperature, humidity, and air flow in your environment. These factors can affect whether you successfully transform into mold. The ideal range for most molds is between 10°C and 30°C with a relative humidity of 90% or higher.

Wait and observe: Allow time for your transformation to occur. Depending on the species and conditions, it could take anywhere from hours to days or even weeks. Observe your environment regularly for signs of mold growth, such as white or greenish patches appearing on the surface of your food source.

Confirm the transformation: Once you see clear evidence of mold growth, confirm that you have successfully transformed by examining the characteristics of the mold. Look at its color, shape, size, and texture to ensure it matches what you researched for your chosen species.

Continue maintaining the environment: Even after transforming into mold, you will need to continue maintaining a suitable environment for it to thrive. Keep the humidity levels high and make sure there is a constant food supply available for the mold to feed on.

By following these steps, you can successfully transform into mold. Remember that not all molds are harmful, so choose one that poses no threat to people or animals. Good luck!

> I have become mold, destroyer of homes. Now what?

Congratulations on successfully transforming into a mold species! As a mold, your primary function is to break down organic matter and help recycle nutrients in the environment. Here are some tips to help you excel as a mold:

1. Find new sources of food: Mold can grow on virtually any organic material. Explore different surfaces and objects in your vicinity for potential food sources.

2. Spread out: Mold spores are incredibly small and can easily be carried by air currents. As you grow, spread your spores to other areas to colonize new territories.

3. Adapt to conditions: Molds have the ability to adapt to various environments and conditions. Monitor changes in temperature, humidity, and light levels, and adjust accordingly to maintain optimal growth.

4. Collaborate with other molds: While molds can be competitive, they often also cooperate with each other. Form alliances with neighboring mold species to share resources and promote mutual growth.

5. Explore new habitats: Mold can grow almost anywhere that has the right conditions. Experiment with different environments, such as soil, wood, or even animals, to find where you thrive best.

6. Share your knowledge: As a mold, you have valuable experience and insight into the world of fungi. Pass on your wisdom by teaching other molds how to thrive in various conditions and habitats.

7. Enjoy the ride: Being a mold can be both fascinating and challenging. Embrace the unique perspective that comes with this transformation and make the most of it!

Remember, as a mold, you play an important role in the ecosystem, helping to break down organic matter and recycle nutrients. Make the most of your new existence and enjoy the journey!
