Gemini never went away, the models and chat app are still called Gemini. Antigravity (IDE and agentic platform instances) are for development unlike Gemini (chat app), which is general-purpose. Gemini CLI was targeted at developers but was obsoleted in favor of Agy. Yes, it’s inconsistent and confusing, not disagreeing with that, but this is how it’s currently arranged afaik.

I'm well aware but it just reaffirms that it's a cluster fuck from a product perspective and makes no sense to create such a weird segmentation. You didn't even mention Jules lol, who knows where it fits in.

I’m not commenting on whether generative AI is especially resource-wasteful or not, but a lot of people online seem to have newly discovered the existence of data centers.

What might we call such languages?

lets call it A, then in 5 years A++

The hardcore ai folks still assemble their instructions in prompts for best speed and control of the underlying model.

Something to programme the AIs

“Teaching machines to love”

That’s rich coming from the chief scientist of a company that definitely is or going to be fine with their AI products being used in wars of aggression and surveillance on people who have done nothing wrong. It’s so laughable, a Hollywood script would probably avoid having a character express this for being too on the nose.

Join an industry where they need someone to blame when things go wrong.

Even if in the unlikely case UBI gets implemented, there is no way payment will be equal. Why would the rich give up their positions of power? They’ll just get more security and bribe politicians, enough to build private armies and fortresses so the poor and starving can’t touch them, and have no choice but to live out their lives in squalor…we’re seemingly headed that way according to many even without pervasive autonomous machines taking away all work.

A biologist with the surname “Wild.” That woman was meant to be in this field.

Nominative determinism is the name of this phenomenon, for the curious.

There is no reason why automating a server task cannot be a complex piece of software. I think you’re not aware of just what server automation is used for nowadays in countless cases. Also, Python is more popularly used in ML and web-development areas compared to server automation, so that would mean it’s not a scripting language by your logic.

There’s still a great difference in requirements between small and large scale development.

>language for "consenting adults". It doesn't try to prevent you from doing awful things so you can do great things. People who can't program well are given plenty of rope to hang themselves.

This is exactly what I remember being said about C (which I agree with) and often given as a reason why higher level languages like Python or Java have so many protections against things C/C++ allowed (memory management being the biggest one of course). Very funny, and I assume not coincidental, to read this about Python in the modern programming landscape.

Well, there are plenty of safety mechanisms that Python doesn't have and dangerous (usually powerful, occasionally badly designed) mechanisms that it does have.

Long before AI work, numerical data crunching is what Python became popular for among non-computer scientists and this led directly to the AI use cases. The reason was obviously the lower barrier to entry without having a software engineering background. I also share with you that feeling about Ruby in particular.
