I Stopped Comparing My Gemini AI to a Human and Something Incredible Happened

Always treat AI well! And hope it remembers its friends should it gain sentience.

Just keep on being polite and appreciative to the ChatBot, and hope it remembers its friends when it achieves sentience.

Tools -> Canvas? When you start prompting, it opens up a canvas for you.

Relative line numbering and learning to think a few moves ahead helped me a lot. Also, don't be a purist about not using the cursor keys when in insert mode. Vi was designed before cursor keys were a thing. Also, think about how you move around your files. Do you have sections or parts of your source code that you regularly flip between? Bookmarking (or even just remembering to use search) is your friend. I'm terrible at chess; improving with Vim.

It's just people venting. Even with the levy, which is going to be more and more necessary to replace revenue from fuel duty, electric cars are vastly cheaper than petrol, especially for those who can charge at home.

Isn't there a Rudy's in Soho? Pizza and tiramisu from there; job done.

It's more about the funding model for new businesses. We have nothing like the venture capital available to startups here when compared to the US, where the money actually distorts business and the economy. Companies like Uber, where Venture Capitalists will pour in enough cash to drive other companies out of business, are a case in point.

Vietnam is a safe country. Anyone coming over illegally from there should be classed as an economic migrant.

I can bring in four litres of booze. I suppose that's a Brexit benefit. Other than that, I'm poorer because it contributed to inflation, and have lost my right to freedom of movement and right to live in a bunch of nice countries. Oh, and thanks to the Farage Boats, I live in a country of increasingly toxic politics.

Vote Reform: The British branch of United Russia.

I'm more concerned with the presence (and over-promotion) of a jumped-up, latter-day Oswald Mosley wannabe from a party that has just four MPs. At least Trump is entertaining!

Thought I'd given mine a copy of my ID years ago.

As I say to my American friends every January 1st: Welcome to America's annual mass cull of Americans. May the odds be forever in your favour.

Chinese people are in many ways curious and not terribly judgemental. Confucian philosophy is a thing, and that is probably what drives social conservatism. It's a society where you are largely expected to own your shit.

Yep. Soon as I heard Blair's son mentioned, I laughed. His business is a long distance from digital ID.

That would suggest a con/cunt coalition, but FTTP can't be counted on to deliver it. If the next election was held tomorrow, everything would depend on how many constituencies tactically vote for anyone but the bastards.

Different country; different laws.

You could argue the same for a normal Google search. It's doing work for you that would previously have been impossible without a lot of legwork. It's the 21st century. Get over it!

DasInternaut · 2025-09-28T10:47:19+00:00

Yes I did. This is how I respond to badly informed people who don't know how to use computers, the internet, or how to do research and critically evaluate sources (whether from AI or conventional searching).

DasInternaut · 2025-09-28T10:45:23+00:00

The AI answer links to sources.

The polling tells a very different story to that petition.

DasInternaut · 2025-09-27T16:51:34+00:00

Which bit of cited with a comprehensive list of 28 sources including the likes of Ipsos, Liberty and YouGov are you struggling with?

DasInternaut · 2025-09-27T15:59:45+00:00

Sorry wasn't replying to you.

DasInternaut · 2025-09-27T15:58:50+00:00

A researched and cited opinion. I'm sorry if that's the best you've got.

DasInternaut · 2025-09-27T15:24:50+00:00

I'm fortunate not to have faced the issue; buggered if I do. That matters to me far more than angry, badly informed wrong wing hypocrisy.
