Do we need 6 front page topics on Gemini? (Plus 2-3 on Antigravity)

  It's a bit much, but Im having fun riding the hype :) Part of being a geek is getting excited with all the new toys coming out

  The amount of capital that rests on releases like these is insane. The incentive is just too high to not manipulate places like HN, which have a surprising amount of sway with tech industry sentiment. Edit: Check out how my claim against astroturfing did, one of the first comments posted on the primary release blog: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45967999#45968295 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45967999#45968295. Could always be over-eager Google employees, or maybe the tech community really is this excited for the Gemini 3 release. Seems fishy to me, though...

    I see the downvote shill brigade has arrived.

    People are likely downvoting you because allegations of astroturfing aren't allowed, you are supposed to just report what you suspect. >Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.

      That's a good point, although given I'd never seen this rule I question if it is commonly known enough that it is actually the reason I'm being downvoted. Do you not think what has happened today is suspicious? The Gemini 3 posts are, to my eye, out of hand..
