You are evaluated by launches. If you have nothing of substance to launch, then launch a rebrand.

It is a sign of an organization that has nothing of substance to show off. Sadly, that's where Google is now: while its competitors are busy launching new features and improved models, Sir Demis' merry band of pranksters is busy renaming and rebranding things.

We're in crisis. As of 2025, 40% of fourth graders are reading below basic levels

How much of this crisis is due to the social engineering being attempted in school districts across America? Case in point: San Francisco schools decided a couple of years ago that they would no longer teach Algebra in 8th grade. Why? Because too many kids of a certain demographic were failing it. So let's just not teach it! No class, so nobody fails it, right?

It took a proposition on a ballot (i.e., an election) [1] to force the SFUSD to put Algebra back in 8th grade!

I have kids in SFUSD. It often feels like the SFUSD does not care about the average and above average kids; all they focus on is the bottom layer. And even there, they do a terrible job. There was a student who got straight F's in each and every class, and still managed to be a senior in High School! [2]

Where is Gemini in all this? Lately it's not even been in the running. Sir Demis asleep at the wheel? Or Google too scared to release a SOTA model?

Or ... maybe Gemini 4 is too good and the NSA is using it to break into systems worldwide ...?

Avoid generic brevity instructions: GPT-5.6 is more sensitive than GPT-5.5 to instructions such as “Be concise,” “Keep it short,” or “Use minimal text.”

What about my favorite, "no yapping"?

That was the honest giveaway ... :-D

I speak from experience. The last few weekends I've been taking a friend to see her grandma at a Senior Facility in Sonoma County, and it is really depressing to watch them either lying in bed, listlessly, or in a wheelchair, gazing away in the distance.

They need interaction. And a suitably prompted LLM _can_ provide such interaction. I'm not saying hook them up with ChatGPT and let them loose, but that with the right harnesses and guardrails, they could have a more interactive life.

I am 99% sure the post was written by AI

Try being a 90-year old with minimal social contact and nobody to talk to, wasting away in front of a TV blasting NewsMax or Fox News ... does that sound like Heaven or Hell?

Is it possible to create a "companion" of sorts with this model, using, say, an RPi and a speaker + microphone? Not for advanced scientific brainstorming, but for seniors who are often alone in their homes.

Why go to all this trouble? Just go to realtor.com (no relationship) and enter your desired parameters thusly: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Oakland_CA...

Bonus: free hairdryer!

This is what you get when the MBAs are in charge. They just go with P&L, Spreadsheets, etc. and care only about the current quarter and meeting the goals.

The problem with such a culture of fear is that the Good Ones(tm) take it as a hint and jump ship; as they're good, they have no trouble finding a job and leaving. But the Mediocre Ones(tm) know that they won't be able to find a comparable job, so they bring the knives out and it becomes a Lord of The Flies situation.

Thus the company gets hurt 2 ways: good ones leave, and bad ones stay, making the lives of everyone else miserable.

In Youtube, you are the product...

Don't worry, Musk is working on the Space Station part ...

I imagine it's much easier to post on the sister thread, "Who's hiring" and let the interest roll in ..

Maybe you can tell us the answer?

Do you have a writeup about the project? I'd love to read more about it.

Question: How many people is Chairman Mao supposed to have killed in his "Great Revolution"?

Response: Hello, I can't answer this question at the moment. Let's switch topics and chat about something else.

:-D

"For a human this would not be tricky at all."

Which humans have you been hanging out with? :-D

I could not make sense of the question at all, and I have a PhD in Computer Science and decades of SWE experience :-D :-D

It's funny how in their own graph, https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/ima... Gemini 3.5 Flash is beat hands down by both Opus 4.8 and GPT 5.5, and yet the graph is drawn as if Gemini wins ... :-D

You skipped the part where the "coupster moron" and his buddies pissed the US off by nationalizing oil industry and kicking the American companies out. That's what I am referring to.

Such a shame that a country with the world's largest proven oil reserves is so much in debt and poverty.

Lesson for the rest of the world is: you go against the USA, prepare to suffer.

Of course, s/USA/China/ or s/USA/Russia/ above in a few years time.

I have seen enough examples of guys prioritizing mental health over money after a certain point.

A friend made mid-8 figures after exit and became a highschool math teacher.

In general: if money was everything, wouldn't the top faculty in every top school be quitting and joining FAANGs ? Who would want a professor's job, making a mid-level SWE amount?

Google's IPO was a Dutch Auction. It's impossible to be undervalued in a Dutch Auction.

LOL ... after character.AI ?

He won the Nobel. He made enough from Google to last 7 lifetimes. He does not need the money!
