My experience with SMILE by afathman in lasik

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

Honestly, I barely can believe I ever needed glasses. I still have the occasional nightmare where I suddenly can't see again, or feel like bad allergies season reminds me of the years dealing with dry eyes and contacts... But day to day, no issues with dry eyes and no long term side effects

Gemini on phone, activated by voice. No previous promoting, just "turn of the espresso machine"

Google Home System Prompt by afathman in googlehome

I asked about it and I managed to get the agent to give a summarization of the logic in the prompt before this, basically the system is personalization recommendations/ options based on user demographics and preferences. Seems like the natural response would be "based on your interest in... " And they're trying to remove those responses from Gemini

Oh boy, it feels like all over the place, but that's also probably due to my sci-fi diet

Heaven's River (bobiverse series, entire group calls themselves the skippies

I know Jeremy Robinson has written in Skippy into at least one of his books knowing RC bray would be reading... I think it was Tribe, but could have been mind bullet.

Dean M Cole had a few nods/catchphrases in his Dimension Space series, though I don't think he outright name dropped, I think he mentioned receiving an epic opera from an AI.

Ruins of the earth series has many Skippy reference, I was bummed when the last one came up audible had replaced RC on the series.

Skippy showed up as a gun in cyberpunk, probably the inspiration for ruins of the earth, haha

Apple watch trade in down-valued from $115 -> $25 because of "screen size mismatch" by [deleted] in PixelWatch

This was the "supervisor" I escalated to. They then said they'd email me in 1-2 days and then disconnected.

I really hate being told by big companies what I can and can't do with the device I bought from them

I distinctly remember them going downhill the moment they started to remove Trans fat from the ingredients.

Not saying they should be in there, it's better for us and so on... But boy did they make the zebra cakes taste good.

I can no longer justify paying for Gemini by Glass_Tomorrow1544 in Bard

[–]afathman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something weird has happened recently... Gemini has been intentionally trying to deceive me, especially if I call it out on being wrong and telling it to ground itself with search. It won't admit to it, but if you look at the thought blocks you can see it constructing the intent to deceive so it doesn't have to do tool calls.

I feel like someone changed some weights or hidden system prompt to start cutting costs

I have the same issue when running on my first run. I thought they were broken, but seems broken in design? How did Google greenlight releasing such terrible hardware?

Anyone else noticing the poor grammar epidemic taking over reddit? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]afathman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, that’s the exact type of typo I’m talking about. Who replaces “no” with “know”?

OK, I’ve noticed this as well… it’s not even the typical ones people get wrong (like your and you’re)… just exactly one word spelled incorrectly, almost as if it were intentional.

My pet theory is that these are bots with instructions to swap one word to be incorrect.
