    The lab described Gemini’s world as a “shared hallucination” among the agents, which is probably better than diverging hallucinations

    “We reject your reality and substitute our own.”

    Why should we trust this bullshit with anything serious again?

      Only the rubes trusted it. The rest of intelligent society has actively been warning people about this exact situation for decades.in books, in movies, in songs, and now memes.

      which is probably better than diverging hallucinations

      Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

        I think it’s meant as kind of a joke, but both are shit really.

        Shared might indicate they’re able to keep some level of consistency, but since it’s only consistent in the way it produces bullshit, it’s stil useless (and the worst part is it might be more convincing).

      I imagine that’s what it would do if it actually had any kind of intelligence, but this is just more evidence that there’s no intelligence there at all. Just mimicry and sycophantism

    I mean, on average is it any worse than modern politicians?

    Also, we’re talking about the same software that seems to do pretty well at fixing errors in spreadsheet formulas and sometimes coding. Not a huge surprise that it is not awesome at tasks with a high level of complexity. Not sure that this is at all a surprise.

    I am trying to fix an issue with my car where the mount for an exhaust shield broke off. Claude told me I should drill a hole in my gas tank to attach a mounting bolt.

    Everyone need to untwist their undies about AI. It’s neat, but it’s not taking over for a bit.
