Great call out on the guardrails actually making this not a good use case to test for vulnerabilities.

Clicked on the demo, and was immediately transported back to middle school trying to hack the marquee scroll.

Reminds me of a Rosenfeld book "Make It So: Interaction Design Lessons from Science Fiction." Sci-fi is able to push interface design because they're unconstrained... It's been a while, so I need to dust off.

Ask HN: Gemini WebUI no longer analyzes video?

Did Gemini remove video as a file type you can leverage in your conversation? I've tried all models, uploading directly, trying to access in drive, and then even uploading to YouTube

Gopnik is a great writer, and this is a very good take. She has a great sense of how to bring psychology to tech. Also fun fact: She's married to Alvy Ray Smith for all the computer graphics/pixar fans out there. I'd love to here them debate tech takes!
