For Gemini 3 this seems bit to be the case. If you use gems you get completely different personalities - so different that its almost scary. You can create gems which are really insulting, gaslighting or seemingly of a specific profession
As someone who’s been programming for 20 years, I have to say that programming itself often causes a kind of brain rot. I’m very glad that I can now focus on other aspects of software development. It was only with Claude Code that I realized I never actually enjoyed programming—I enjoyed building things. You can live a perfectly mentally healthy life without programming.
Re:Kids (With Phones) Are Alright on Saturday July 18, 2026 @03:18AM (#48955920)
I would say spending everyday hours on your phone especially on social media is way more harmful then being filmed by someone. That aside: This over-the-top behaviour is really damaging. That i sit here in Berlin and can watch how someone in Scottland is called out as a pervert over a minor event is modern lynch mob behaviour, and i am quite sure the intention of the people who spread this is less to protect the kids then just to feel moralic superior.
I think he meant : to be pushed towards China as a partner while moving away from the US.
Re:GPT-5.5 hallucinates 3x more than MIT-licensed GLM-5.2 on Saturday June 20, 2026 @12:53PM (#48610746)
I realized that people from india often show this kind of behaviour in my experience . They superconfidently give you a wrong answer and walk away or even help by making things worse and then dissappear shrugging .. Are you from india ?
Re:I'm Tired of Talking to AI on Thursday May 28, 2026 @04:22AM (#48306181)
I think this idea is also from an AI thread. I had quite the same sentence/prophecy from chatgpt a year ago as i chatted about the furure of communication
The first thing i let build AI in every projekt is a manual backup btn which just makes a backup to a dir AI has no access to.

Re:Software never had a soul on Sunday April 05, 2026 @05:45AM (#47647730)
I think it’s less about the fact that the drivetrain is electric — it’s more that modern cars no longer have analog gauges, no hand-stitched surfaces, none of that tactile craftsmanship. Last year I saw a beautiful Ferrari, and when I looked into the cockpit, there was a touchscreen staring back at me. The whole car loses its character because of something like that. One software update and your dashboard looks completely different.
Re:Software never had a soul on Sunday April 05, 2026 @05:06AM (#47647511)
I think the soul of a „thing“ not necessarily equals its function or form. Its perhaps deeper and resembles more something like the term quality i thougt lately about. So two things or actions or whatever have different quality not because of their directly measurable attributes but also because of how it was created so how the context of the thing was affected. Its just a thought i am lately playing with ..

Germany also went through hell in WW1. Hitler himself fought and was wounded. But still he was not a pacifistic politician.

Re:Laravel Cloud on Thursday February 27, 2025 @06:00AM (#43193227)
Today, after some years of not using Laravel, i took a glance at their website, planing to eventually use Laravel for a small project.

I was completely shied away by their super marketing strategy and their hundreds of "super useful" packages with all their glorious names.

Whatever you buy, you buy a part of lifestyle and self definition. If you buy a Tesla today in Germany, you will be identified as alt right. And these are the people which may habe fewer financial ressources and cant afford one.
Re:Our Paint is a featureless but programmable painting program on Wednesday January 08, 2025 @06:34AM (#42633151)
Interesting. I also had the idea of a web-based programable painting program, where new brushes could be shared.
Outcast was such a beautiful looking game !
