They clearly have at least a decent bit in the tank bc whenever either lab releases a new update, the other one matches benchmarks in like 24h

Egregious & consistent mistreatment of the horses.

The past four mayors have all tried to end the practice but the jockeys (drivers?) are part of a powerful transportation union.

The “hacker” community (for lack of a better term) has a longstanding and well documented skepticism towards the concept of intellectual property in general. “Information wants to be free” and all that.

Some people still make wood furniture by hand too. Do what makes you happy. Just don't get caught up insisting that you deserve to be paid for it.

I would be surprised if, in the "mature" future of AI tools/products, the labs building the models are also selling/building to end users like they are now.

>I think I'm at 1 success out of 15 attempts for Gemini to explain how to do something in Google Sheets/Docs, though, so I'm not hopeful that anyone can actually implement this.

People love to talk about this as one of the helpful features of AI (knowledge extraction from documents/summarizing), but I'm really not convinced. The last generation of models seem to have 70-90% accuracy on tasks like this, which is way below what i'd consider a reliable tool

e.g. https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/digital-health/articles...

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11197181/

I don't know if there are any benchmarks for this sort of task, maybe the new ones are improved but I also doubt that people are using GPT5.5 pro ultrathink for these tasks anyways
