I agree. The original reason [1] for the gemini name seems artificial for a generic chatbot. It is OK for the model, and I'm sure a lot of "work" was put into "validating" it …

I'm confused: Is this GPT-4 or GPT-3.5? The last reasonable answer I found (I forgot where) mentioned that they only downgrade it to v3.5 during peak hours. Still, even if it is v4, it seems to b…

The article does not discuss two-wheelers, although I assume they are included (?). Can one imagine a ban imposed solely on internal combustion motorcycles ? Could this be a simpler first step for pop…

On a related note, with the (tens of) thousands of "custom GPTs" coming up in the next few years, it would be interesting if the chat would automatically recommend using any one of them in r…

Phind [1] uses the larger 34B Model. Still, I'm also curious what they are gonna do with this one. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38088538 …
