Gemini 2.5 Flash

Note sure why their comment was downvoted. Google the names. Hassabis runs DeepMind at Google which makes Gemini and he's quite brilliant and has an unbelievable track record. Buffet investing in teams points out that there are smart people out there that think good leadership is a good predictor of future success.

It may not be relevant to everyone, but it is worth noting that his contribution to AlpaFold won Hassabis a Nobel prize in chemistry.

Zoogeny got downvoted? I did not do that. His comments deserved more details anyway (at the level of those kindly provided).

> Google the names

Was that a wink about the submission (a milestone from Google)? Read Zoogeny's delightful reply and see whether it can compare a search engine result (not to mention that I asked for Zoogeny's insight, not for trivia). And as a listener to Buffet and Munger, I can surely say that they rarely indulge in tautologies.

I wouldn't worry about downvotes, it isn't possible on HN to downvote direct replies to your message (unlike reddit), so you cannot be accused of downvoting me unless you did so using an alt.

Some people see tech like they see sports teams and they vote for their tribe without considering any other reason. I'm not shy stating my opinion even when it may invite these kinds of responses.

I do think it is important for people to "do their own research" and not take one man's opinion as fact. I recommend people watch a few videos of Hassabis, there are many, and judge his character and intelligence for themselves. They may find they don't vibe with him and genuinely prefer Altman.
