Sound like Google suffered from FOMO and felt the urge to appear in the hacking news, along the big AI players. No way Gemini is state of the art, but perhaps it's where Claude and OpenAI were 6 months ago, which would be not bad at all.

They all want that regulatory capture so badly.

It’s embarrassing anyone is falling for this.

I think Gemini focused on integration and practical goals instead of coding intelligence.

It doesn't look it was their decision to announce this, and regardless it happened -- hopefully no one thinks that they got Irregular to permit yet another accidental hack just so they could cop to it months later as a marketing ploy.

Y'all, it's Google. They own a money printer and the boring ~half of the AI field. They don't need these weird games to influence the government, and regardless, there is precisely a 0.0000000% chance of regulation happening before Trump's ouster anyway.

So please take it seriously. I'd like us all to survive this, ideally :/
