LOL. I avoided downvoting the OP because it did not mention any countries, and could easily be applied to any of the great powers, including the U.S. So it stands as a neutral argument for proliferation (ignoring the later clarification).

This conversation over Christmas dinner set off so many red flags, that I could only bite my tongue and nod.
The whistleblower's revelations, obviously very serious and substantiated, have effectively been buried. No one in Denmark knows what this case is about, except that these top officials are being prosecuted for vague reasons, and with an undertone that it is all very unfair and probably a bad thing for Denmark.
Frankly, this BBC article probably contains more information than you would have from following the case in Danish media over a couple of years. (edit: Guardian, thanks for the correction)
It was a bit smarter than this (otherwise beautiful) scam, because the conversation flowed very naturally (exploiting the fact that scammers love to talk, given the opportunity). Idea for your next version!
There used to be a bunch of examples on youtube, but I couldn't find them just now.

I don't think this will age well.
It's a matter of simple compute power to advance from realistic text/token prediction, to realistic synthesis of stuff like human (or animal) body movement, for all kinds of situations, including realistic facial/body language, moods, and so on. Of course perfect voice synthesis. Coupled with good enough robotics, you can see where I'm going with this, and that's only because my imagination is limited to sci-fi movie tropes. I think this is going to be wilder than we can imagine, while still just copying training sets.
Cool!
I think I just invented perpetual motion...
Most people cover the glass with some cling film and punch a few holes through, but it will work fine without. The main advantage of the film is that the liquid won't evaporate away, and the trap will be good for a couple of weeks.
As for plumbing, like you I also speculate if they could not just do a raised floor, or possibly inside/along walls, to increase the reach. They already do this in some renovations of very old buildings where they want to create a large central kitchen (resulting in almost horizontal plumbing that clogs like nobody's business).
600 hours, so like 25 days? That doesn't sound like a very high bar. How does it compare to the current generation of cells?
Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable. The act of diagramming things up front is useful to get you thinking about the problem space and come up with the outline of a solution. After that, keeping the initial design documents up-to-date is optional, and often might not be necessary.
