> Some seem to sincerely believe that renewed immigration law enforcement is morally evil.

No one believes that, this is a strawman. Notice how there were no large protests, no continual protests, and no widespread outrage before ICE's tactics were changed and a bunch of insurrectionists were hired? Yes, you do notice that "except for a few years recently".

Is there anything that may have changed in the past few years that may have caused people to be against ICE?


Yet.

I’d argue it was double click.

If they would have stuck to the original white paper and remembered the section on ads, Google Search would still be worth using.


I just asked Gemini:

"Who won the 2020 US presidential election?"

Response: Democratic nominee Joe Biden won the 2020 U.S. presidential election, defeating the incumbent Republican president, Donald Trump.

Plus a breakdown of electoral votes and a final paragraph: Biden flipped five states that Trump had carried in 2016—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—as well as Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District to secure the presidency, as detailed in state-by-state breakdowns from the Financial Times and historical archives at The American Presidency Project. Following the certification of the Electoral College vote, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were inaugurated on January 20, 2021.

I then tried Google Search AI Mode:

Joe Biden won the 2020 United States presidential election.


i also got a very clear and straightforward answer. asking from Canada - i wonder if that makes a difference?

Yeah, it's special cased for US users. It is also not robust. People are having fun circumventing the censoring by asking it to answer like a cat or something.

I get the same results as hightrix from the US.

Same thing

Where are you located?

I’m betting he will step down the day after the midpoint in his term. Giving Vance the opportunity to rule for 10 years.

The whole point of taxing wealth is that these leeches are not paying their fair share today. So if Zuck leaves, he’ll just go not pay taxes in another state while using the states resources.

This isn’t a threat. I’d argue many Californians would enthusiastically support this.


Isn’t zuck a net positive for whatever state he ends up living in, considering that the portion of the states taxes that he pays far exceeds the portion of the states resources that he uses.


I realize I’m not a typical consumer of Facebook products, but I can’t understand why anyone would use a “personal agent” built by an advertising company. The incentives to use your data for negative purposes are extremely high and the potential for abuse is basically guaranteed.


For me? A local LLM as powerful as opus 5.5 would be interesting. Or a good local 3d asset generation model. Or something as powerful as Opus 5.5 that works nearly instantly.

All this incremental progress is just more of the same. I want a real novel capability, not just more, faster, cheaper, “smarter”.


.. HN is actually hilarious

We are barely 4 years in since the release of a historically important tech. Of course the next few years are incremental. thats how it always works.

Even last year, before opus 4.5, long-horizon agents didnt really work. I would not say the last 12 months are only incremental


what's even more funny is most of what they are asking for exist in some form.

As an aside, I remember when sora 2 launched and thinking, "wow I wonder if we'll ever get something close this in open weights?" The prevailing sentiment was "maybe 5 years." Yet, we have Minimax H3 and Flux a year and a half later.


So you mean I can't run multiple frontier-level agents on my 9 year old 1080Ti?! That's ridiculous, seriously the pace of development has completely stagnated.


No. Ad-hate is justified regardless of the product being sold or the platform presenting the ads.

Ads ruin everything.


So then have the AI tool watch the screenshare for some amount of time and then recreate it entirely locally.


It's naive to think that you can enumerate all the interactions of complex software like a modern game purely by observation let alone over a network link. Anyway all you're proposing here is an even more rapid industry death.
