Technically it’s actually a good idea …if you do it before publicly releasing and spending marketing budget on both products, giving them a full software lifecycle and a dedicated user-base that no longer trusts you to keep things running. Honestly, even in that case it sucks to be a developer there knowing there’s a 50% chance that the work you did meant nothing.

> Honestly, even in that case it sucks to be a developer there knowing there’s a 50% chance that the work you did meant nothing. Does it have to mean nothing? If there is a review at the end of the exercise, good parts from each of the teams can be explored for integration to build the best final product. Of course all these things are probably as much political as technical so it is always complicated.

I was certainly thinking of the more political case where one team simply gets laid off with no review. That case would be perfectly alright, to be honest.

Seeing these announcements make me nervous. I feel like I found some sort of cheat code by using AI Studio for free. Seeing them build it out, makes me wonder when they are going to start charging for it. Though Grok has been very generous as an alternate. I guess there's a lot of good options out there. I'm just used to hitting limits most places, and not as good models.

It's just a copy of all other models in terms of functionality. I didn't find anything controversial nor extra-ordinary in it. Image generation sucked.

Some Indian twitterers found a way to get it to utter Hindi profane words, that's probably the most controversial thing I know about it.

It’s also rate-limited, which means the model will silently start skipping the chain of thought after a certain number of daily requests. Definitely a downgrade over the old version, though really it’s just Google deciding to offer less for free.

Are you sure it's rate limited? I've been using it for quite a while today and it still appears to be thinking.

Hmm, maybe it depends? I was kinda far into a long conversation and it stopped thinking midway through. Maybe it’s based on context length and not a direct rate limit

Presumably Google AI Studio[1] and Google Firebase Studio[2] are made by different teams with very similar pitches, and Google is perfectly happy to have both of them exist, until it isn't: - AI Studio: "the fastest place to start building with the Gemini API" - Firebase Studio: "Prototype, build, deploy, and run full-stack, AI apps quickly" [1] https://aistudio.google.com/apps [2] https://firebase.google.com/

Oh crap I thought they were talking od firebase studio, which I was playing with yesterday and was curious to see if there would be improvements.

Why does Google suck so much at product management?

Why did they hide the model thought details? Thoughts look like this now: Analyzing TypeScript Errors I'm currently focused on the actions/user.ts file, where I've identified a few issues. Specifically, I need to address a "Cannot find name" error related to UpdateUserDetailsFormState, and confirm that the intended target is UpdateUserDetailsFormInput. There might be some other discrepancies in the file that I need t…

Their new 'thoughts' smack of "reticulating splines"

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)

Starlink is indefensible?
