The reporting about Altman personally cutting off months of safety testing and redteaming in order to launch 4o one day before Google's launch is horrifying given all of these stories. It even seems like ChatGPT often proactively sugge

As a former Pixel and current Samsung user, I can relate to almost everything on this list except for the Camera app. What is it that you prefer about the Samsung iteration? I found my preference to be for the Pixel version.

It sounds like fundamentally SAP and Palantir target different use cases though? While SAP has OLAP functions, their bread and butter is highly domain-specific and transactional.

IANAL, but I assume this could open Wikimedia leadership to charges of contempt and eventually lead to needing to avoid visiting the UK or other extraditing countries and potentially pave the way for asset seizures. You generally don't

Well, their huge GPU clusters have "insane VRAM". Once you can actually load the model without offloading, inference isn't all that computationally expensive for the most part.

When I get dressed in the morning, it's 58 degrees outside. Today there's a high of ~88. It's totally normal to look at the weather to determine what to wear.

This sounds like Gemini Code Assist rebranded under the successful Gemini CLI banner. I'm sure this was done to "consolidate" offerings and brands, but this is just way more confusing. CLI has a meaning, and this doesn't

Was the post edited? It looks like the submission title is exactly the blog post title except with "Google Says" appended.

Yeah, perhaps sending fake invoices to customers? There's a lot of precedent for that: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/07/phishers-target-aviation...

Interesting! This feels like they're trying to position it as a competitor to Nvidia's Omniverse, which is based on the Universal Scene Descriptor format as the backbone. I wonder what format world objects can be ingested into Gen

This rings true. I feel this way about the incognito "tracking" lawsuit as well.

I'm pretty sure their endgame right now is just "don't lose all of your market share to companies that _will_ use LLMs".

I interpret it more as "maybe consciousness is not meaningfully different than sophisticated token generation." In a way it's a reframing of the timeless philosophical debate around determinism vs free will.

I assume that an "advanced version" of Gemini Deepthink means it was a different model or had significantly more test time compute than the upcoming Deepthink in the Gemini Ultra subscription. Still cool to see OpenAI and Google n

You and the parent poster seem to be conflating the ideas of: - Does not have the requisite skills and experiences to do X successfully - Inherently does not have the capacity to do X I think the former is a reasonable standard to apply in

I have no problem taking issue with using the term "engineering" for this, but this reads like OP does not believe that you can get better results based on the way you structure your prompt and what information you include. That i

Yes, but this is precisely the point isn't it? It's blatantly enabling and embracing "othering" for no technical reason as an explicit strategy to exploit social pressures to maximize profit.

I'm reading through the Expanse books and a passage that I read after seeing your comment jumped out at me. It's a quote from Havelock: "As a boy living planetside, he had always thought of space as cold. And while that was t

The AI Overviews (on the main SRP) is pretty hit or miss. The new "AI Mode" (separate tab) is _very_ good.

Thank you for this. One of these links should really be the one in the submission. The Mozilla petition doesn't provide any useful context.

Almost all of those benchmarks are coding related. It looks like SWE-Bench is the only one where Claude is higher. Hard to say which benchmark is most representative of actual work. The community seems to like Aider Polyglot from what I&#x2
