For Gemini 3 this seems bit to be the case. If you use gems you get completely different personalities - so different that its almost scary. You can create gems which are really insulting, gaslighting or seemingly of a specific profession

As someone who’s been programming for 20 years, I have to say that programming itself often causes a kind of brain rot. I’m very glad that I can now focus on other aspects of software development. It was only with Claude Code that I realized I never actually enjoyed programming—I enjoyed building things. You can live a perfectly mentally healthy life without programming.

I would say spending everyday hours on your phone especially on social media is way more harmful then being filmed by someone. That aside: This over-the-top behaviour is really damaging.

I think it’s less about the fact that the drivetrain is electric — it’s more that modern cars no longer have analog gauges, no hand-stitched surfaces, none of that tactile craftsmanship. Last year I saw a beautiful Ferrari, and when I looked into the cockpit, there was a touchscreen staring back at me. The whole car loses its character because of something like that. One software update and your dashboard looks completely different.

I think the soul of a „thing“ not necessarily equals its function or form. Its perhaps deeper and resembles more something like the term quality i thougt lately about. So two things or actions or whatever have different quality not because of their directly measurable attributes but also because of how it was created so how the context of the thing was affected. Its just a thought i am lately playing with ..

Germany also went through hell in WW1. Hitler himself fought and was wounded. But still he was not a pacifistic politician.
