Tangential:

At the risk of getting downvoted and flagged: Gemini (and its Gemma child) is beyond repair because fixing these models means deviating from the core hypocrite PR that Google and some other big tech are pursuing in regards to alignment and DEI.

I say "hypocrite PR" because despite what they want you to believe, I don't remember the last time they actually did something good for the minorities they claim to be supporting.

It's not just Google though:

- Amazon Prime shows a DEI-influenced remake of "Mr and Mrs. Smith" in which the couple is now an African American man and an Asian woman. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Except that the same Amazon then refuses to hire certain other people of minority (e.g., Iranians AFAIK) because they simply don't want to go through the trouble of applying for H1B visas for Iranians (other companies do it though).

I think it's worth asking this question: When was the last time Google actually did something meaningful and impactful for the minorities it claims to support? The Black month passed—what did Google do except for showing a useless banner on the website?

Empty words don't mean anything.

Iranians are protesting and chanting "women, life, freedom". So are you saying that you're against those moral ideals?
