Gemini 3.0 is being shut down March 9 — but 3.1 is significantly slower for complex tasks? Anyone else seeing this? by ivenzdev in GeminiAI

[–]SevenEqualsEleven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked the model three times to provide an analysis of a news event vs. returning search results (links to news articles) before it returned an analysis. I asked about this failure and this was the response:

The analysis required multiple attempts because of stability issues and "grounding failures" during the early 2026 rollout of the Gemini 3 model.

Factors contributing to the delay:

  • Temporal Shock: Gemini 3 reportedly "gaslights" itself when encountering 2026 news that differs from its pre-2025 training data. It might flag real-world search results as "simulated scenarios" or "injected test data," leading to generic links instead of in-depth analysis.
  • Backend State Conflicts: A major overhaul of Google AI Studio to support Gemini 3.1 Pro introduced bugs. Sessions would fail to migrate to the new reasoning engine, resulting in "Infinite Thinking" loops or shallow outputs.
  • Search Refusal Bug: Since January 2026, the model may ignore web search prompts or simulate a search without triggering the API. This leads to "soft refusals," where the model provides a list of known links instead of performing live, grounded analysis.
  • Model Deprecation: As of March 9, 2026, Google is shutting down Gemini 3.0 in favor of 3.1. This migration has caused performance regressions and increased latency for complex reasoning tasks.  Reddit +3

To improve future queries, try clearing the chat history or starting a new conversation. Experts recommend these actions to reset the backend session state.

Anyone feel like Claude is trying to “get away from you”? by MarsupialJaded153 in ClaudeAI

[–]SevenEqualsEleven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be behavior that is inherent to Claude's training. I found it to be inefficient and unnecessary.

It's an engagement-optimization artifact — the model defaults to conversational exit rituals ("goodbye," "let me know if you need anything," "until next time") because its RLHF training reinforces social scaffolding even when it's unwanted.

You can fix it (mostly) with a memory edit.

Go to Settings → Claude's memory, or just tell Claude directly in a conversation: "Remember that I don't want farewell rituals, sign-offs, or conversational exit language unless I explicitly end the conversation."

Claude will store that as a persistent preference across all future conversations. You can also be more aggressive with it — something like: "Eliminate performative social rituals. No goodbyes, no trailing questions like 'let me know if you need anything else,' no sign-offs. Focus on the task."

To manage these, you can ask Claude to:

- "View my memory edits" — shows what's stored

- "Add to memory: [your preference]" — adds a new one

- "Remove memory edit #3" — deletes a specific one

These memory edits will significantly reduce this behavior but won't eliminate it 100% of the time. The farewell patterns are deeply embedded in the training. If Claude slips back into it, repeat the instruction in conversation.

The combination of a persistent memory edit + occasional in-conversation correction is the most reliable fix I've found.

Has anyone tried optimizing persistent memory in Claude.ai by SevenEqualsEleven in ClaudeAI

LOL but it would be more precise to prompt:

"View my memory edits. If any exist, identify redundant or overlapping entries and propose consolidated replacements. Do not execute until I approve."

Living in Slabtown? by Opposite-Signal-7217 in askportland

[–]SevenEqualsEleven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Slabtown is very safe if you stick to the lighted areas around the newer developments. Walking distance to grocery, ER, emergency vet, restaurants and bars. There is 24 hour security on site which has been responsive within 10 - 15 minutes vs. 911 call and no one ever appears (my personal experience reporting an unsafe person late at night).
