Did anyone else notice the weird subtle typos in the output? "Te harsh jolt of the cryopod cycling down rips you" "ou carefully swing your legs out" I find this really interesting that it's like 99% there, and the thing runs and executes, yet the copy has typos.

Maybe typos are non-ai signal until we have a typo-fidelity ai to redefine that.

> Gemini 2.5 Pro is incredible at coding, so we’re excited to bring it to Google AI Studio’s native code editor. It’s tightly optimized with our Gen AI SDK so it’s easier to generate apps with a simple text, image, or video prompt. The new Build tab is now your gateway to quickly build and deploy AI-powered web apps. We’ve also launched new showcase examples to experiment with new models and more. This is exactly wha…

I agree. Until about 2005 it was code-on-device and run-on-device. The tools and languages were limited in absolute capabilities, but easy to understand and use. For about the past 20 years we've been in a total mess of code-on-device -> (nightmare of deployment complexity) -> run-on-cloud. We are finally entering the code-on-cloud and run-on-cloud stage. I'm hoping this will allow domain experts to more easily creat…

Finally, companies can wrench back control from those pesky users. Only Google should have root; any other interaction should be routed through their AI! You wouldn't want to own your own device anyways, just rent it!

You're not explaining why you have such a good feeling - is their team uniquely good, far ahead? Is there something specific in how they architected it? I think a lot of people are headed in this direction, they have a bad brand, the need to totally restructure their team, and probably bad equity structure now and a need for a down round, it'll be hard to get good talent.

The rabbit OS project is literally the only correct path forward for AI. Hopefully they go for local on device inference, as they removes cloud costs, solving the burning pile of cash problem most AI companies have. Directly driving a user's device (or a device hooked up to a user's account at least) means an AI can do any task that a user can do, tearing down walled gardens. No more "my car doesn't allow programmati…

Maybe. But everyone else here is celebrating Google being firmly inserted between them and any cognitive work they might do.

Still feel like you’d have to be an ignoramus to use this beyond toy bullshit projects since they train AI on your work, humans read your work, and “You may not use the Services to develop [ML|business|mental] models that compete with the Services (e.g., Gemini API or Google AI Studio).”

What kind of smooth brain hears, “they train AI on your ideas and code, humans read your ideas and code, and you agree not to compete back against this thing a multi trillion dollar company just said can do everything, which competes with you,” and says yes? Oh, the smooth brain who doesn’t even realize, because it’s all buried in “additional” legal CYA documents.

ChatGPT still dominates the reach test since I can at least opt out of model training without losing chat logs, even though I have to agree not to compete with the thing that competes with me. Google is like a corporate version of a gross nerd you tolerate because they’re smart, even though they stalk you weirdly.

What a disgrace, we all ought to be sick about creating a legalese-infused black mirror dystopia, racing to replace our own minds with the latest slop-o-matic 9000 and benefit the overlords for the brief instant they count their money while the whole ecosphere is replaced by data centers

It’s like somehow the most magical tech in history (LLMs) comes along and gets completely shafted by elite grifter-tier scumbaggery. Chat bot speech is more protected than human speech these days, Google doesn’t give a crap about privacy, it’s all about the slimy hidden-opt-out of getting everything fed into the slop machine, and break everything if you do.

“Gee, should the app break if the user doesn’t want us to read their shit?” “Yeah, that sounds good, ain’t nobody got time to categorize data into two whole buckets, ship it!”

“How about we make a free better app that doesn’t even have the option of us not reading their shit?” “Oh, yeah, that’ll really help the KPIs!”

I use the R1 daily, it doesn't feel like a scam to me.

I have zero affiliation with the company, I don't know anybody there, never talked to anyone there, no kick backs, nothing. I also think I'm a pretty reputable member of this community...I don't particularly appreciate being called a shill. I don't know much about this Coffeezilla gentleman, he's a tech reviewer? Those videos are a year old. I've been using their R1 device for about 6 months now, I like it...?

> Though Grok has been very generous as an alternate. I don't need it inserting console.logs and alert popups with holocaust denials and splash screens with fake videos of white genocide in my apps.

Wasn't it Google's models that showed America's founding father's as being black women? They all have their issues. I just want to get things done, before AI just takes over everything.

They are very clearly different and grok is really indefensible (as is anything associated with Musk these days)

...as long as your application is only a few thousand lines of code. Context windows are still tiny by "real world app" standards, and this doesn't seem to be changing significantly.

I regularly put 50k LoC codebases in gemini, it has a 1M context window and actually uses it well.

Let me know when it handles 1.5M lines.
