A 50% increase over ChatGPT 5.1 on ARC-AGI2 is astonishing. If that's true and representative (a big if), it lends credence to this being the first of the very consistent agentically-inclined models because it's able to follow a deep tree of reasoning to solve problems accurately. I've been building agents for a while and thus far have had to add many many explicit instructions and hardcoded functions to help guide the agents in how to complete simple tasks to achieve 85-90% consistency.

#382I've been so happy to see Google wake up. Many can point to a long history of killed products and soured opinions but you can't deny theyve been the great balancing force (often for good) in the industry. - Gmail vs Outlook - Drive vs Word - Android vs iOS - Worklife balance and high pay vs the low salary grind of before. Theyve done heaps for the industry. Im glad to see signs of life. Particularly in their P/E whic…
Forgot to mention absolutely milking every ounce of their users attention with Youtube, plus forcing Shorts!
frankly when compared against TikTok, Insta, etc, YouTube is a force for good. Just script the shorts away...

I agree but if Gemini 3 is as good as people on HN said about the preview, then this is the wrong announcement to sleep on.
No LLM has ever been as good as people said it was. That doesn't mean this one won't be, but it does make it an unlikely bet based on past trends.
With the exception of GPT-5, which was a significant advance yet because it was slightly less sycophantic than gpt-4o the internet decided it was terrible for the first few days.

ah interesting. I wonder if this is a "safety guardrails blindspot" due to the placement.
Op is right. https://imgcdn.stablediffusionweb.com/2024/4/19/8e54925a-004... For the above pic I asked "What is wrong with the image?" Result: - It totally missed the most obvious one - six fingers. Instead it said this: Based on a close inspection of the image, here are the things that are "wrong" or anomalous, indicating that it is likely an AI-generated image: - The Thumb Anatomy: This is the most obvious error.

JFYI, Qwen managed to recognize the sixth finger:

Re: Gemini 3
#386Wow so the polymarket insider bet was true then.. https://old.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1oz6gjp/new...
These prediction markets are so ripe for abuse it's unbelievable. People need to realize there are real people on the other side of these bets. Brian Armstong, CEO of Coinbase intentionally altered the outcome of a bet by randomly stating "Bitcoin, Ethereum, blockchain, staking, Web3" at the end of an earnings call. These types of bets shouldn't be allowed.
Abuse sounds bad, this is good! Now we have a sneak peek into the future, for free! Just don't bet on any markets where an insider has knowledge (or don't bet at all)

They've poisoned the internet with their monopoly on advertising, the air pollution of the online world, which is an transgression that far outweighs any good they might have done. Much of the negative social effects of being online come from the need to drive more screen time, more engagement, more clicks, and more ad impressions firehosed into the faces of users for sweet, sweet, advertiser money. When Google final…
They're not a moral entity. corporations aren't people.
I think a lot of the harms you mentioned are real, but they're a natural consequence of capitalistic profit chasing. Governments are supposed to regulate monopolies and anti-consumer behavior like that. Instead of regulating surveillance capitalism, governments are using it to bypass laws restricting their power.
If I were a google investor, I would absolutely want them to defeat ad-blocking, ban yt-dlp, dominate the ad-market and all the rest of what you said. In capitalism, everyone looks out for their own interests, and governments ensure the public isn't harmed in the process. But any time a government tries to regulate things, the same crowd that decries this oppose government overreach.
Voters are people and they are moral entities, direct any moral outrage at us.

#390Looks like it is already available on VSCode Copilot. Just tried a prompt that was not returning anything good on Sonnet 4.5. (Did not spend much time though, but the prompth was already there on the chat screen so I switched the model and sent it again) Gemini 3 worked much better and I actually committed the changes that it created. I don't mean its revolutionary or anything but it provided a nice summary of my req…
You were probably stuck at some local model minima avoidable by simply changing the model to something else.
