> Granted, PCI is so weak it is almost useless, and yet still better than anything congress could have come up with.

Elaborate, please?

I'm all for regulation of AI, but it's not practical.

I fear we're going to regulate ourselves to death (hyperbole) with regards to AI in the Western world, while China is just going to go brrr.

I've been using Gemini for the last 15 minutes. It's been fine for me.

Please, this is not Reddit. Don't bring this here. And to top it off, this isn't even funny or original.

You actualy think METR is complicit in this marketing stunt? If OpenAI was withholding data, do you think they would not call it out?

Respectfully: If it's able to deploy without you asking it to, that's a you problem. There are no safeguards?

> but if, in 2026, you aren't able to have an LLM generate decent quality code... IDK what to tell you.

I think the author's point still stands. At some point you need to determine whether the output is of decent quality. A lot of people don't have the ability and experience to do that.

Some are. Some aren't. Usually a good indicator of career trajectory.

I also switched to 5.6 Sol for this very reason. It was so exhausting and cringe to read.

I know this is hyperbole to make a point even this is ridiculous. A lot of YouTubers mess around with their audio/video files, and am sure they have heard of ffmpeg.

I don't understand. If a public github project's CLI was being used to access workspace, then clearly they had the APIs for it open? How can they restrict how people do that?

I'm actually impressed by how much the Hackernews crowd is sleeping on Google & Gemini. Yes, it's lagging behind in coding, but it's consistently much better and more reliable at literally everything else.

Also there was a period of time when Gemini was the best model out there...
