I’m French. We are hard working. That’s a cliché to say the contrary.

But we fight for our working rights, that’s not a cliché (even if we are losing, tbh)

Yes... and still, it thinks it's funny to play "Timber" after mentioning a natural disaster that killed thousands of people. So there is still some finetuning needed, I'd say. Reminds me of the song "Die perfekte Welle" ("The Perfect Wave" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfekte_Welle ), which was a big hit in Germany in 2004, until the Indian Ocean tsunami hit after Christmas, when it was dropped by most radio stat…

Why do we need to fine tune away that charm? You want to turn it into a droll ticker tape of information? That's boring.

I don't have a problem with Gemini being charming/witty, I was referring to stuff that people might find rude or offensive - yeah, I know, that's a fine line sometimes, but I think most of us would agree that making jokes about the victims of a disaster isn't funny.

If this wasn’t so last-stage capitalist dystopian, it would be funny.

“Let’s slap AI on it and see if we can make money” is…. Depressing as a world view. Besides the sheer amount of computational power it uses to produce a worse result than dedicated humans, the fact that if this wins out our future is promise to be replete with humans farming out any part of humanity they can to a dataset that promises to deliver a median outcome at the price the market is willing to bear to those that don’t care, from those that don’t care.

It’s not a matter of loosening up, but in his ideology collective bargaining is a form of evil.

That’s not at all uncommon in the United States.

This is far more hilarious than most commentors here seem to be picking up on. Gemini started a show where it paired historical natural disasters with darkly-relevant pop songs: > November 12, 1970. East Pakistan. The Bhola Cyclone. The deadliest tropical cyclone ever recorded. Winds of 115 miles per hour. A storm surge of 33 feet. They estimate 500,000 people died. ‘It’s going down, I’m yelling timber.’ 3:33 PM. Tim…

Hey Lukas,

Thanks for this. We really need this kind of crazy and levity and whimsy more on the internet.

Speaking of sponsoring, what is the best way to get into contact with them? I'm not really in the market, but I know of some church bake-sales that might be (no joke).

Keep going!
