You are misreading the benchmark.

https://artificialanalysis.ai/#aa-omniscience-hallucination-...

If you look at the results 3.0 hallucinates an awful lot, when it's wrong.

It's just not wrong that often.

(And it looks like 3.1 does better on both fronts)

This isn't actually correct.

Gemini 3.0 gets a very high score because it's very often correct, but it does not have a low hallucination rate.

It looks like 3.1 is a big improvement in this regard, it hallucinates a lot less.

I'm just genuinely really confused by this take.

It's a 100x easier to build products today than it was in the 1990's. (I don't think that's an exaggeration in the slightest)

It would be basically be impossible to build anything like Maps, Excaidraw, Chat GPT etc.

Arguably people are reaching for the tools without those interactive requirements ?

There's an awful lot of people running these tools in YOLO mode.

>isn't going anywhere

That's not true at all, Reform could get in and remove it day 1!

There generally aren't underfed people in the US. This just simply isn't true.

The opposite is a far bigger issue.

But it's undeniable that culture and how that's reflected in governance have a huge impact: South vs North Korea.

I gave the table of inputs and outputs to both Gemini 3.0 flash and GPT 5.2 instant and they were stumped.

I thought it was pretty settled that it was social contagion similar to other mental illnesses in the past.

I know Andrej Karpathy mentions it in his youtube series so there's a good chance of it being true.

I this is exactly how you should respond to outrageous demands.

The UK should pound sand.

I'm genuinely baffled by the assertion that there isn't objective reality.

You can 100% use dogs as tools as we've done for thousands of years.

Certainly wouldn't recommend MAUI. Even using it as a simple shell with for Blazor Hybrid was noticeably harder than WPF.

If Microsoft aren't using it themselves in any real capacity, then it's not good bet IMO.

Very strange comment.

Literally hundreds of millions of people have set up an Iphone, it's trivial if your aren't cognitively impaired and/or very elderly.

I don't understand how you could have trouble finding the volume down button.

It's quite obviously placed, and is one google search away if not...
