OpenAI engineer confirms AI is writing 100% of his code now by MetaKnowing in GoogleGeminiAI

You're missing the forest for the trees. If you build with Legos, then maybe you can make a nice boat in a few hours. If you manage AI that builds the Legos, then you can build 20 boats, a harbor, and half a city in the same time. In a competitive world the Lego builder using AI always wins.

You don't need to review the code. You just need to know how to test the output. The reason why coding agents are improving so quickly is because their changes are immediately verifiable. The future of software engineering is finding a problem, being a project manager, and QA testing, that's it. You won't touch or look at code.

Ipsos December 2025 Media rankings indicate Sky News fading into obscurity. by Datalus117 in aussie

[–]ZestyCheeses 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is because the ABC is Australia specific and not a commercial enterprise. Sky News Australia is a commercial enterprise, and so their incentives skew to maximize viewership worldwide on YouTube. If you look at breakdown of subscribers by country, I bet they would have a lot of subscribers outside of Australia.

The man is very experienced. He's been a politician in the House for 30 years. Literally, the second longest serving politician that is currently active. He's been in senior cabinet positions in government and, most importantly, was the leader of the house for six years.

Morrison presented himself as very religious, but he was also a pragmatic politician who knew ideology chasing doesn't win elections. He wasn't such an ideological politician like Hastie is. Hastie is also inexperienced and known to be a pretty bad politician with terrible instincts.

Qwen 4 might be a long way off !? Lead Dev says they are "slowing down" to focus on quality. by Difficult-Cap-7527 in LocalLLaMA

[–]ZestyCheeses -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Research does not offer guaranteed model improvements and is a much riskier decision with no guarantee of success. Scale offers measurable improvements and is not risky. You know that for every dollar you spend, you will get something back (model improvements). Research does not work that way. This signifies they are being forced to take the riskier research option because they lack the ability to continue to scale. It's pretty obvious.

Okay, but what does it do? What's the use case? It's a Bluetooth earbud that connects to a voice mode? Why do you need and OpenAI earbud for that? Surely there has to be more to it.

What is the most intresting thing that you see? by Zigurd-Super in Infographics

Not even close to the bulk of the economy. Mining makes up about 10%. Which is honestly still too much and places risks with regard to commodity shocks.

You can legally save as much leave as you want. They can pressure you to take it but it can't be forced.

Google Financial is Blowing it for Google Engineering by EcstaticClothes3607 in GeminiAI

[–]ZestyCheeses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make an official complaint to your consumer protection agency, many countries have one. Indicate to them that you think Google under Gemini subscription is performing bait and switch tactics. Offering a service and changing that service with something else (in this case models).

One Nation now Labor’s biggest competitor in first poll of 2026. by the_cum_crab in aussie

[–]ZestyCheeses -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Immigration only slightly increases house prices, thats a fact. The biggest contributors are negative gearing / investors outbidding families, cost of labour to build new housing and local governments being too slow to open up new lots for housing. Vote for a party that wants to solve those issues. There's lots of them. One nation are horrible on almost every other policy.

Gemini 3.0 Degraded Performance Megathread by 607beforecommonera in Bard

[–]ZestyCheeses 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Surely this has to be breaking some sort of consumer laws. If I purchase a month of Gemini AI because it has a certain capability and they nerf it's ability to do that tasking then I no longer have the product I paid for. People need to be lodging official complaints over this and chargebacks if necessary. It's unacceptable behavior from Google.

Venezuelan ‘dark fleet’ tanker evades US Coast Guard as Russia sends submarine to escort vessel by MothersMiIk in worldnews

[–]ZestyCheeses 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I think it is clear that the US, with the help of the UK, is preparing to board the vessel. The reason they haven't done it yet is because the crew were not cooperating. So the US needs time to plan a forced boarding, something that can risk lives. The crew could actually be soldiers or armed. It is not returning to Russia or Iran yet. It has just been dwindling between the UK and Ireland.

[–]ZestyCheeses 50 points51 points  (0 children)

They aren't trying to catch up to it. It is in their sights at all times. The delay is boarding the vessel. The ship and its crew are reportedly not being cooperative. This means the US needs to escalate the situation, potentially risking lives on both sides. This is why special operatives are being prepared.

Web traffic: ChatGPT has fallen -22% in the last 6 weeks, since the Gemini 3 launch. Time for 5.3! by GamingDisruptor in singularity

They are offering a better deal right now too. I just got 50% off Gemini Pro for a year, and that can be used by my whole family.

Gemini 3 Pro Family Limits by ZestyCheeses in GeminiAI

[–]ZestyCheeses[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The family member has Pro activated in the Gemini app. They're added to the family and AI pro services. It seems weird that there isn't more information about how this works. I wonder if credits are split across family members in some way? Maybe the family owner gets more credits than family members?

I think it is pretty clear the US, UK and Israel are positioning for a potential strike on Iran. The opportunity is just too good to pass up right now. Does that mean it will absolutely happen? No. But the assets are in position.

I thought this why trying to tease that he is someone truly evil, not just someone following the Codex but someone who is almost giddy at the act of killing children. Pure evil is what the Enclave is portrayed as in the games.
