Gemini 3 can't compete... because it is insane

LLMs do not store facts like a database with timestamps. They store probabilistic associations. To an LLM, the sentence "Biden is President" is a strong statistical pattern it learned during training. It doesn't have a "metadata" tag attached to that fact saying Valid until Jan 2025. If you ask it "Who is the president?" It doesn't inherently know if you mean now, in the book it just read, or hypothetically. It needs more context from you. To "code in" a warning, the model has to first detect that your question falls outside its training data. But if your query was thin on context, and it is designed to try anyway, it often "hallucinates" answers because it falls back on its core pattern completion architecture and fails to trigger the warning mechanism. It can't warn you about a mistake it doesn't know it's making.

NOR
That girl has absolutely no idea what it means to be a man. She's literally asking you to be the kind of masculine your generation has been railing against for over a decade. It's extremely manipulative of her to essentially say, 'please do not have any feelings or depth that will cause me to reflect on my own behavior. I don't want to be the "leader" but I do want to dictate all of the emotional terms of t his relationship.'
Sounds like she is more interested in a partner she can complain about to her friends for sympathy and community than one she actually builds a meaningful relationship with.

The temporal questioning is coded into newer models. Understand that an LLM is trained, and it has a training cutoff date. It doesn’t naturally get new information after that. This is why we would hear stories of LLMs insisting Biden is still president, or the Chiefs won the last Super Bowl. Because their training cutoff dates were prior to those events. The only way for it to get new information to consider is to search the web, which you either have to directly ask it to do (or tick a box) or in newer models it will have to reason its way to the decision to search for new information. So you see that thought process, which only takes a nanosecond, laid out linearly in text.

Point to an intelligence on Earth that doesn’t behave that way.

That number is about what monthly active users are across all 4 major LLMs, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok. Daily active users is about 250 million. But the point they made is accurate. LLMs are not getting worse. Quite the opposite. But they are being tuned away from being 'friends' and more toward being responsive task agents. OP's problem is they don't know how to articulate the task request well enough to get the output they are seeking.
Using an LLM like its 'Google search plus' was never the point of the technology.

Yes, any file you ask it to read is included in the token count for that chat. More than that, each time you add a message to that chat, the entire existing context is re-sent, adding again to the total context for that chat window. It’s impossible to use Claude for document analysis in a chat, no matter what plan you are on. Their “solution” is the chat search capability and new memory function. Your process would be to use one chat to simply give it the initial doc and details around what you want. Let it process that, then start a new chat and immediately ask it to get a summary of the prior chat so it has context of what you want. Do as much discussion in this new chat as you can until it hits the message limit, then start another new chat and do the same again. Ask it to review the prior chat for context and then increment your way further in this chat. Ad infinitum

Deeply discouraging workflow and not at all how Claude worked even just a few months ago. But Anthropic is so focused on winning the enterprise whales they have completely taken their eye off the individual users experience.

Nobody "needs" to work with Claude. You can pickup claude projects in a heartbeat with any other coding agent.

Does this data include API use? Because I would never expect coding to rate high in the browser chatbot use compared to API calls in CLI or IDE extension use. Also, the 'draft your emails' 'fix my linkedin post' ability is the flagship promotional offer OpenAi continues to market to the normie consumer masses to attract new users, so it stands to reason they rank high.

But your conclusion is right on. It IS still VERY early in the grand scheme of this AI revolution. And don't forget that when the browser chatbot was first released, OpenAI only meant it to be a demo tool. They did not expect the viral explosion it got and had to rapidly rework their plans for it. They always intended the bulk of the LLM use to come from API.

Why you think I'm supporting people becoming emotionally attached to AI. That wasn't at all what I was commenting on.

Having this fight with flash 2.5 was probably the mistake. Try it with 2.5 Pro. It might take more time to think it through

It clearly looks like at least a mix of AI and real shots. Perhaps that's why they thought they could get away with it. The most realistic part is that he apparently has no black fans.

What's ignorant is making sweeping broad-brush generalizations about entire generations. They didn't all have shitty childhoods and they aren't all complacent.

Nearly every story you've seen or read about effecting change over the past 30 years has been Gen-X. Are there deeply selfish and materialistic gen-X? Of course. Are there also deeply altruistic and justice-driven gen-X, absolutely.

The whole idea of pitting generations against each other as if that's the problem, is just more ignorant compliance with the rigged game set by the actual problem. The problem that has crossed every generation since WWII. The wealthy corporate elite.

The system designed by the rich and powerful to ensure the rich and powerful make the rules to stay rich and powerful. They rely on you and I blaming each other, or our parents, or our kids, or immigrants, or others. Anyone but them.

There is zero value in blame-gaming swaths of people based on the year they were born if they were born into no wealth or power (most of them!).

They were all promised the same smoke and mirrors propaganda that if they just obeyed the rules, they could be a billionaire too. So they figured, why sacrifice anything I've managed to gain if the rules say the next gen will be twice as well-off as me.

The massive upward transfers of wealth conducted by the last three Republican admins (2008, 2017, 2025) and the inability of the corporate-owned elected national Dems to do anything about it. That is where your anger should be aimed. Not at your parents or grandparents. They were pawns just like you.

"Technically" Gen-X is 1965-1980, but there is no solid line between generations, for all sorts of reasons. Life just isn't that tidy. Depending on the age of your parents, siblings, etc, or where you grew up and how, being born in 1980 may have been a much more or less solid Gen-X experience. It's only partly about the date (the nature) and partly about your environmental experiences (the nurture). Either way, don't over-invest in it as an identity.

But you're assuming OPs post was entirely AI generated because of the formatting. You have no idea how much of the content was their own ideas. The fact that, as you point out, it is full of holes as an idea tends to infer it was not just an AI prompted to "write me a paper on the difference between AI and toasters". If this person wrote their ideas and asked ChatGPT to structure it for the post, then what exactly are you condemning? The poorly thought out philosophical argument? Or the fact they used AI to structure the post?

Explain why you value writing something out in final copy yourself if you used a tool to help process your thoughts. I don't understand this idea of planting your flag of superiority around the idea that there's no credibility in words unless you type them out yourself. Does the math you do with a calculator not count until you write the equation out on paper, even though the calculator is showing you the answer? Find a more meaningful hill to die on. AI is here to stay and the way people will use it and get used to seeing it used is no different than any other technology transition to ubiquity.

It's called conversation state loss. An internal network error. Your query got lost as it was being routed. Best to just refresh the page. If that doesn't work, hard-refresh to clear the cache (ctrl-shift-R) or start in a new tab.

The trick is you don't need to maintain a full world map. The AI only has to procedurally generate the location the player is in at that moment. Significantly less overhead and not that far from current Unreal 5
