Gemini 2.5 - Hackdot

I wish I wish I wish Google put better marketing into these releases. I've moved entire workflows to Gemini because it's just _way_ better than what openai has to offer, especially for the money.

Also, I think google's winning the race on actually integrating the AI to do useful things. The agent demo from OpenAI is interesting, but frankly, I don't care to watch the machine use my computer. A real virtual assistant can browse the web headless and pick flights or food for me. That's the real workflow unlock, IMO.

This is useful feedback. I'm not here to shill for OpenAI, nor Google/Gemini, but can you share a concrete example? It would be interesting to hear more about your use case. More abstractly: Do you think these "moved entire workflows" offset a full worker, or X% of a full worker? I am curious to see how and when we will see low-end/junior knowledge workers displaced by solid LLMs. Listening to the Oxide and Friends podcast, I learned that they make pretty regular use of LLMs to create graphs using GNU plot. To paraphrase, they said "it is like have a good intern".

Upload a complicated PDF of presentation and ask for insights that require some critical thinking about them.

It can replace many junior analysts IMO.
