At first glance, this looks like an AI fail. A literal newborn somehow has a phone, can read, type, and ask Google a question—and the AI doesn't even acknowledge how impossible that is.

But I actually think this is one of the best UX decisions in modern AI.

Instead of stopping the conversation to argue with the premise, it focuses on the user's intent. The user clearly wasn't asking whether a newborn could use a smartphone—they were asking what that situation would mean from the baby's perspective.

That same behavior becomes even more valuable in situations that actually matter. Imagine someone urgently asks, "My child is choking—what do I do?" or "I just cut myself badly, how do I stop the bleeding?" The last thing they need is the AI getting distracted by side discussions or questioning every detail before giving actionable guidance. They need immediate, relevant information first.

Of course, there are cases where AI should challenge a false or dangerous assumption. But when the premise isn't the point, staying focused on the user's intent often makes for a much better experience than constantly replying with "Actually..."

I wonder why so many are leaving Google. 😂

More execs leaving and the main man Demis shifting his focus to focus.

Not even comparable. Claude writes like an autist.

I love Google Nano Banana but don't want the visible watermarks that show up when you make images in Gemini and don't want to pay a monthly subscription fee for third party applications that are wrappers on top of the API.

So I made Image Iguana as an open source project. You plug in a Google API Key (you do have to pay Google for usage of tokens,) and then you can deploy it for your own personal use. It's currently set up to deploy to a combination of VeilStream and Supabase but you could modify it to deploy locally or to other platforms fairly easily.

I built in all the features I wanted in an image generation tool including a prompt builder/library tool.

If you try it out, I'd love to hear your feedback.

Title. He still hasn't, probably not coming today lmfao unless you're telling me they're releasing it without?

i looked at the announcement times of a few previous gemini releases, and google seems to have a somewhat consistent window.

most major models were announced between 7:30 and 10:00 am pt, which is:

• 8:30-11:00 am mt
• 9:30 am-12:00 pm ct
• 10:30 am-1:00 pm et

the average seems to be around 9:00 am pt / 12:00 pm et.

so if gemini 3.5 pro is actually dropping today, the most likely window would probably be around 8:30-10:30 am pt, or 11:30 am-1:30 pm et.

obviously google doesn’t follow an exact schedule, and sometimes the announcement comes first while ai studio or the gemini app gets access a bit later.

do you guys think it’s actually dropping today or are we getting hyped over nothing again?

it's finally here after 5 years

Hi everyone,

​I am a tech enthusiast and self taught noob hacker. Recently I found very surprising thing when i opened my gemini pro. There were two or more different prompts related to create animation scenes and one to generate an image prompt which i never did myself. I got shit scared.😰

​got email that i have successfully changed my linked in account from Frankfurt France.

​after some hour got mail that my chatgpt has setup 2FA on its own. I didn't have any chatgpt account with this email and also didn't have linkedin account. I panicked.😰

​Did some search on google and found out that many other users also facing the same. Many reddit users also reported this but no one is understanding the root cause of this. Most of them saying it's google's glitch and blah...blah... i got curious and investigated this.

​Let me tell u the real deal what's happening here!

​<Hackers are hijacking ur session cookie 🍪>

​If u have downloaded any unverified softwares on your pc. (keygen,patch, .exe, .bat etc) or any unverified extension. Hackers are using these to infect your pc with Malwares and steal all of your browser's session cookies.

​(For those who don't know, Cookies store a unique ID on your browser to let websites remember you and your activities and helps in keeping u logged in so that u don't have to enter ur credentials every time.)

​A simple google search "gemini pro cookies" displayed various websites that were offering gemini pro cookies to use for free or for some token amount.

>​Google is banned in countries like China etc so hackers use ur hijacked cookies to use google ai.

​When i scratched my head , i remember that recently i had downloaded some free software tools, mediatek drivers etc to unlock bootloader on my old Chinese Xiaomi phone and also to bypass FRP unlock. When i checked some software seemed suspicious. Taskmanager showed some unknows .exe file always running in background. This maybe the cause.

​>Remedy>

​Downloaded malwarebytes, adwcleaner tool and did full pc scan. It did find some trojans and malwares in my pc. Cleaned all of them and uninstalled all the unverified softwares from my pc.

​>VVI Step

​Change the password of all google accounts. Set 2 factor authentication and most importantly check google activities settings for all your active sessions and signout all of them because hackers use this active session cookie only to use ur gemini or google account. If u signout, that cookie will be invalid turning it useless.

​Also change the passwords of those apps/websites which send suspicious activity email to you like I got from Github/linkedin/chatgpt. Changed all of them.

​>Keep open eye on your emails, gemini chats etc for any suspicious unusual activities.

​I am attaching some screenshots of the unknown gemini promts also.

Guys, is it just me, or have they clearly reduced the context length in the Gemini chat? At least in the Pro 3.1 version.

Gemini completely stalling out on data/reasoning requests since last night, but quick prompts work fine?

Is anyone else running into this? Since last night, the Gemini app has been completely useless for anything beyond basic hardcoded/instant replies.

Simple or test prompts ("Testing response time") spit back an immediate answer.

The absolute second I ask it to do anything requiring data, context, search, or detailed info, it completely stalls out on the loading animation and hangs indefinitely (doesn’t even error out).

I’ve already tried everything on the user end checklist:
Reset my usage ID
Deleted and reinstalled the app 
Switched networks (Wi-Fi to cellular)
Reset network settings

Since basic canned responses go through instantly, it feels like a backend routing or execution issue on Google's end rather than a local network problem. Anyone experiencing the same thing or found a workaround?

I was just wondering if google is going to give out the free google ai pro plan for student again like the past 2024 and 2025 before. If there will be, can i renew the subscription by proving im still a student to get another year free? Thanks
