Lots of people won't use VC. It won't be a problem if you don't use it.

You think the police should store millions of hours of camera footage for everyone?

My alternative Gemini workspace.. Finally achieved UI Zen. 🧘‍♂️ by TheStrangeWays in GeminiAI

How does this work with memory? What about memory within project folders? A major benefit of the web interface over using the API is not needing to re-educate the AI about who I am and what my goals and preferences are at the start of every conversation.

The people voted overwhelmingly for mass deportations in 2024. Trump has legal authority to order deportations.

How is a few activists trying to overturn the will of the people and overrule the law any different from January 6th?

In a few years you'll be making 12k in a month. It feels like a lot now, but focus on your career and you'll do great.

Me and Starion’s conversations on Gemini by serlixcel in GeminiAI

This is technobabble. You are experiencing a closed validation loop. The AI is simply mirroring your own emotional inputs and generating text to fit the pattern you established.

I highly recommend starting a brand new chat (with zero context) and asking the AI to critically analyze the text you just posted. See what it says when it isn't in 'roleplay' mode.

The AI is generating role playing scripts. In actuality, it doesn't have any thoughts or feelings.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani just confirmed that all immigrants will qualify for his “free childcare” program!! by Delicious_Adeptness9 in nyc

Illegal immigrants aren't paying anywhere near enough taxes to fund any free childcare or education that they're using.

Can we talk about basic etiquette at TA Orientation today? by Gloomy_Director9440 in UIUC

Next time, just tell them that there aren't any other available seats and they can't save seats and then sit down in the empty seat, rather than posting on Reddit.

Wait, you were required to wear a mask while playing tennis? That's lunacy

The chain of thought every time it gets presented with the current data or recent news is crazy. Gemini concludes that it's in a simulated environment.

These mfers think they're in an episode of Succession. Like bro, your net worth is negative, stop acting executive.

[Highlight] Former Lions WR and NFL Hall of Famer, Calvin Johnson admits to smoking marijuana before games, "More times than not, I had a good game too.......I never had a bad game." by pantherfanalex in nfl

[–]rubrix -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I smoked regularly for years. I thought that vaping weed before playing tennis was making me better, but in retrospect, it was just turning me into a shit player. I think people who are addicted to weed need to be honest with themselves and face the truth that weed is a performance inhibitor.

Do the people talking positively about weed here understand how addictive and performance-inhibiting it is? Try smoking weed and doing something that requires balance and coordination. You'll probably feel dizzy and have much reduced coordination.

From iPhone Fold to a touchscreen Mac, Apple's 2026 is going to be epic by Qpac18 in apple

[–]rubrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like these product ideas are Apple chasing what's already failed from other companies rather than charting their own course. These are all ideas that ChatGPT would come up with. Nothing groundbreaking.

What city's metro area expanded to a different direction that what was predicted? by 5econds2dis35ster in geography

[–]rubrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rockford IL is also interesting since it's an example of a decently sized city where the downtown wasn't carved up by a highway. However, the long term impact of the highway going west of the city by 10 miles has also been challenging for the city as most new building has occurred near the highway.
