Asked Gemini 3 Flash Preview to help debug a Python CLI error. It started with Undefined name 'sys'. Then, for no detectable reason, it became a copywriter for an Innova disc golf basket and gave me specs, dimensions, and marketing copy. Absolute non sequitur.

It’s extremely good that Anthropic has not backed down, and it’s siginficant that OpenAI has taken a similar stance. In the future, there will be much more challenging situations of this nature, and it will be critical for the relevant leaders to rise up to the occasion, for fierce competitors to put their differences aside. Good to see that happen today.

Black Monday

It’s not about talent. It’s not about your brilliant idea. It’s about relentless personal accountability.

Today is World Autism Awareness Day. My wife and I want to raise awareness of and help decrease any stigma around autism by sharing that my wife learned she has autism later in life—in her late 30s. It’s common for girls and women to have autism overlooked due to their often subtler signs. Reflecting on her childhood, she realized many signs were there but were framed as something else; one example would be her teachers' complaints that she was constantly “daydreaming” in class (to this day, her ability to “check-out” is phenomenal). Autism usually presents differently in girls and women, and society is particularly demanding of them socially, so my wife tried to fit in by unknowingly masking her autistic traits and devising hidden techniques to manage the influx of information (stimming). That said, autism has given her some true superpowers, such as how she perceives the world, processes information, and quickly notices patterns. She’ll also tell you how it is—unvarnished and direct. However, her autism can come at a cost, one of which is requiring a lot of alone time (the fur kids and myself excluded) and downtime to rest and recover. There is an incredible, invisible effort required to navigate the world. A beautiful trait of her autism is her deep connection to animals and attention to understanding their needs. If there’s a social event with an animal present, poof! she’s gone and you'll find her with the animal. Her health journey has been intricate, as she has Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). Learning about her autism was a gift to understand a large missing piece of herself, giving her greater self-empowerment to advocate for her needs, especially medically. If given the chance, she (and I) wouldn’t change her autism even a little (though we can’t say the same for her hEDS, POTS, and MCAS!). My wife likes to say we all have universes within ourselves, and her autism is a wonderful universe.

Trump’s “Liberation Day” → “Inflation Day” #TrumpTariffs #Greatrecession #stockmarketcrash #inflation

April 2, 2025 will be a day of infamy. It is the day an adjudicated rapist, fraud, felon, and reality TV conman signed the biggest tax hike to America's working class in US history — and likely ignited America's second Great Depression. #TrumpTariffs 😳👇

Can you guess which one was generated by ChatGPT and which by Gemini? #ChatGPT #Dalle #Gemini #Imagen3

ChatGPT generated and simply upscaled... I'm considering canceling my Adobe subscription #ChatGPT #NoPhotoshop #dalle3art #dalle #adobe

ChatGPT vs. Gemini / Dall·E vs Imagen 3 ... same prompt #ChatGPT #Dalle #Gemini #imagen3

From sketch to this with a single prompt. Some flaws, but a solid start. #ChatGPT #dalle

This image would've taken some time in Photoshop. With ChatGPT, it was two prompts and done. #ChatGPT #dalle #dalle3art

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.
