Lie? Gemini CLI is unuseable. The IF of gemini models is atrocious. Honestly, how often does your gemini CLI go insane in thought loops and you have to stop it?

Antigravity's workflow is so slow and buggy with permissions, it is unuseable compared to cc/codex. the only part that is nice is that it allows usage of Opus.

Gemini CLI is an absolute joke. I dont know if its the harness, or the Gemini models' poor instruction following, but more than 50% of my sessions gemini turns insane and ends up in thought loops. In another 25% it does far more updating than I asked or is reasonable.

This is why next to no-one talks about either of them. Does Antigravity's agent manager even work yet without crashing and showing zero conversations? In typical google fashion they released AG and appear to have then set it on autopilot with a skeleton crew of less than 1 developer. Clear issues have not been fixed since day 1. Some settings just do not work. Permissions are not respected.

a bit out of left field. tell us how you really feel... about something that's definitely not this topic because this is nonsense

I dont understand this. All Costco memberships are functionally $65 at most. How is this beyond literally anyone in America? Am I so out of touch? Why would corner stores have to pool together to get a membership when they absolutely negate the cost of the membership from the cashback? You only have to spend roughly $6,500/year for the executive membership of $130 to cost zero. That seems like something a corner store in any neighborhood wouldn't have much issue doing. As for the non store owners... $65 is the cost of one or two fast food meals. I don't believe this.

because this is manual? are you an llm?

I think this sounds much more poignant than it is. Its actuallt pretty shallow. The same agents can audit the infrastructure lol

I'm pretty sure their mindset is pure cope. All top AI labs are agentically coding 100% now. There's a reason for that. Anyone not on that paradigm yet is either slow acting or purposefully resistant. (excluding workplace policies that hamstring you of course)

Nope not at all, but it's most certainly superior to the tokens your neural net outputs

15 years. But that's irrelevant to this point. The person im replying to clearly doesnt use the tools if they think there hasnt been constant improvement. "token-prediction subscription" is funny, coming from a glorified biological token predictor

Uninformed opinion of someone who clearly doesnt consistently use AI coding tools, clearly. And why are you limiting it to 6 months? Whats wrong with you?

all being equal, a 130 will completely trounce a 100 on almost every mental task. what are you talking about? do you honestly think otherwise?

curious, how is forgecode? have you compared it to codex/opencode/claude code?

...there is no way that this is what you believe. This is such a pseudo-complex definition of art that I cant even fathom the levels of twisted cope that are fueling it.

I simply don't believe you are arguing in good faith when you say this is your thought process for all music.

"I simply do not hear or see that with AI Music or Art, even If I don't know it is AI generated." This is just a bold faced lie. You are claiming you can tell its AI generated even if you dont know its AI generated. What.

Strange how people will actively hamstring themselves rather than use powerful tools.
