Because naming every product "Copilot" is going so well for Microsoft, I guess?
But they renamed Gemini CLI to Antigravity CLI. And it's worse.
It's not just a rename, they broke the old one.

Oh wow, this is a great idea. Can I ask what your prompt looks like?

#63Earlier quoted context omitted.
I wondered when the name change was coming because this is Google: products be endlessly repackaged and renamed, some only to be killed later.
I reckon the same dipshits responsible for Microsoft’s product naming in the early 2000s all moved on to Google to wreak the same havoc there.
Their current product naming is still terrible.They went from the Xbox, to the Xbox 360, the Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X.
The latest console is the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X

That's not a rename, though, Antigravity is a new product.
Google is kinda famous for killing a product and replacing it with a worse one, though, so not very surprising.

Years? :-)
Re: NotebookLM is now Gemini Notebook
#66I admonish Gemini and demand explanation nearly every day of how it's possible that Google invented the thing, has the best infrastructure for inference, and somehow falls behind Anthropic and even OpenAI. NotebookLM is pretty cool since it can hold a ton of context but this is so far below my (and frankly just reasonable) expectations of Google. I downgraded my Gemini subscription and got Claude. Still can't believe…
My response is going to be about Gemini generally and less about NotebookLM.
Google's last frontier model release was Gemini 3.1 Pro, which was in February of this year[1]. At the time, it was ahead of the (at the time) flagship models of Opus 4.6 and GPT 5.2/5.3. From my recollection of the time, it was the best model in the world.
Anthropic released Opus 4.5 Nov '25, 4.6 in Feb '26, 4.7 in April, 4.8 in (late) May. Then Fable in June. 4.7 beat 3.1 Pro on multiple metrics. Fable eats it for breakfast. However, I want to note the 3 month gap between those first two Opus versions.
OpenAI released 5.2 Dec '25, 5.3 Codex Feb '26, 5.3 Instant Mar, 5.4 Mar, 5.5 (late) May, 5.6 July. 5.4 beats 3.1 Pro on agentic benchmarks[2], seems to be similar/losing on non-agentic. 5.5 seems stronger than 3.1 Pro[3].
Gemini 3.5 Pro is alleged to be launching within the week. Why do I type this all out? Because I think Google is getting a bad rap. They are delayed on a frontier release by a month or two and are being regarded as if they cannot release frontier models. I think their last release demonstrates strength and we need to see a weak release before we call them "behind" (in any reasonable sense). These companies swap back and forth constantly. I recall a multi-month span where 2.5 Pro was just the best thing out there by a large margin (in my opinion).

#67Not a big deal to be honest. Still works just as great.
Technically not https://www.reddit.com/r/notebooklm/comments/1ss53l5/halluci...
There's a lot of these in their sub.

I should have said replace.

Me:
Ok so I'm going on a walk. I'll dump a link to a Hacker News
discussion about an article.
You have to read the article and the discussion and walk me thru
all the interesting details, nugget by nugget, and move on when
I'm ready for the next piece.
ok, Great show me the link, I'm waiting.
Me:
Ok I pasted it. Now go.
For the Socratic quiz I say:
I want to understand this more deeply. So instead of you just telling me
everything, lay out the problem and a question for me to think about, and
I'll try to answer. Even if I answer wrong, you should resist giving me the
answer, and instead keep digging with more questions, so that I eventually
arrive at the answer myself.

Re: NotebookLM is now Gemini Notebook
#70Guys google, I know enough people in the company to know how this decision was made, but I must say as a user if you rename or kill another thing I will stop using any Google service I still use. This might be the one time I might forgive it but guys please don't it's annoying.
They've been doing this kind of thing for at least 15 years
