Logging into Discord once a day and it opens and closes itself 3 times while that stupid logo spins and says it's fetching 1 out of 8 updates. What the hell. I actually hate Discord, I would migrate in a heartbeat if I didn't think it'd kill my WoW guild.

The amount of products and updates shipping from the AI-invigorated Google is mind-boggling. They are leading or highly competitive in every AI segment: foundation model, open-weights model, video model, image model, world model, AI IDE, AI CLI, text-to-music, text-to-speech, etc. etc. etc.

Really? Right now both Claude Code and Codex seem substantially more capable than Gemini CLI to me.

Tried antigravity and cli a few times. I'm unable to handle that prodigious toddler. Are you guys able to make use of it?

CLI is great, probably 90% as good as CC.
