Response from Gemini 2.5 Pro for comparison -

``` Based on the search results, the new moon in August 2025 will occur late on Friday, August 22nd, 2025 in the Pacific Time Zone (PDT), specifically around 11:06 PM.

In other time zones, like the Eastern Time Zone (ET), this event falls early on Saturday, August 23rd, 2025 (around 2:06 AM). ```

Well currently Waymo is about double the price of Uber.

This is not accurate in my experience in SF. Most of the time, the price is comparable to UberX and during peak-times, the price is upto 20% higher than UberX.

I think the bard version is most likely a hallucination. I see the bard version from the latest update as `2023.12.06` in https://bard.google.com/updates with the title "Bard is getting its biggest upgrade yet with Gemini Pro".

I am guessing this update is not available in Europe.

Superintendent Dr. Monifa B. McKnight said at yesterday’s launch that when procurement of the 326 electric buses is complete, “We are going to be saving upwards of 6,500 gallons of diesel fuel per day, and immediately, this is going to cut costs by 50%.”

It would help if they include some information about the upfront costs of electrification. For example, How much does the charging infrastructure cost?

I agree with what the article says about news but I think the same idea is applicable to a wider category of 'flash consumption'. One common example I can think of are the Twitter threads with clickbaity titles claiming to give you knowledge about something in 7-10 140 character chunks. They induce a certain FOMO as you scroll by but leave you with no lasting memory about the subject.
