Is your source code worth only $40 for them to train their models on?

I guess it's access to Gemini, because that's the plan I'm on and you can access Gemini using gemini.google.com or their phone app (Android/iOS). I couldn't find information on the API, maybe it's on that page, but I couldn't find it from my phone browser. Anyway, I use OpenRouter pretty much, so I have no idea if the API is part of my plan.

I guess if you choose the business standard, you get "Pro access to features & models with enterprise-grade security & privacy"

Absolutely.

The catch: If you don't pay any subscriptions to Google, they will use your data for training their models. Agreed on competition being good.

Yeah, in most threads you will see anyone recommending Gemini be downvoted. Ironically, Gemini (with Workspace subscription) is the only model that explicitly states it doesn't use your inputs to train their models right under the chat box. AFAIK no other provider does that explicitly - usually there is a hidden toggle in settings you will need to turn off.

I pay for Google Workspace, so pretty much the Gemini Pro included with that suffices my use case. I can't say it will work for everyone, but I do use it for random tasks - all the way from wood working to building complex software projects, and so far I've rarely hit the limit too.

Thanks, been meaning to try it. I heard the limits on that is an issue and people are supposedly blowing the limits off way too easily? How has your experience been so far in this regard?

> not a professional software engineer

I think this is where we might have differing opinions. I'm a CTO by profession and I know what bad code is, so it is quite easy for me, based on my professional experience, point out when Claude generates bad code. And when you point it out, or ask it why it didn't take the correct/simpler approach - the response is always along the lines of "Oops, sorry!" or "You're absolutely right to question that..."

Claude is good, I'm definitely not saying it's bad. But if you work with LiveView, it will tend to choose more complexity over simplicity. Weirdly enough I have a feeling it's trained more on Python/Ruby (Object oriented paradigms) style code than functional code, so it tries to get things done not so functionally.

Been my experience as well, but generally the anti-Google sentiment here is pretty loud so you'll never see anyone praising Gemini here pretty much

Anecdotally, I would actually argue tbe opposite - Anthropic is overrated, ass-kissed way too much here for mediocre coding abilities (especially for Elixir). ChatGPT most of the time one-shots complex solutions in comparison. The only reason why people shit on OpenAI so much is because of the defence deal, but, it's not like Anthropic is a saint either:

> A competent developer could whip up a more axios-like library with fetch in a day easily.

Then you would have created just an axios clone. AKA re-inventing the wheel. The issue isn't the library itself, but rather the fact that it's popular and provided a large enough attack surface.

You can actually just clone the axios package and use it as is from your private repo and you would not have been affected.

Hi, sorry, just new to this entire story, could you please share light on the fake audits? Trying to understand what exactly happened.

Honestly, I think if anything, we need an app to replace the dealers. Every other problem might evaporate (albeit not completely) if this is addressed. Dealerships are the largest extortionist racket in the car market IMO.

I completely agree with all the points made. It is 100% less likely for one to get ripped off buying used cars - mostly because I think you can skip the dealers in this process. The problem is the dealers and their insane markups. Maybe bad salesmanship is just a consequence of that.

Honestly used car salesmen are far worse and should be replaced by AI too

> their evidence is just stronger than yours.

What evidence? There is 0 evidence. It's deployed to production, but that doesn't mean it works fine or is free of bugs - which is exactly my point and why you use algorithms for these types of things. They're testable, repeatable and scalable.

With LLM slop it's just that - slop.
