Normal people, including most social recluses, also generally don't get the luxury of house arrest, so there's that.

Since Google owns YouTube, this refusal by Gemini seems suspiciously too aligned with their interests. Just a conspiracy theory, though :)

No, AI can't do anything by itself even if it was "conceived" by its creator. A human can.

Your experience is similar to mine. I feel like my most stupid and forgettable comments generally get more attention and upvotes, but when someone makes a comment that's clearly false and I respectfully disagree citing authoritative sources, people get defensive and in some cases reply with ad hominem.

Tried to clear a confusion between DDR5 / LPDDR5 / DIMM standards and cited the relevant JEDEC standards with specific quotes? Get downvoted, all of arguments ignored and replied with more false information.

Tried to argue that, even if given a charitable interpretation, some units of measurement could be confused if not written correctly (on a conversation where such confusion was clearly happening already)? Downvoted.

Explain the difference between latency and throughput? Explain that O(1) ⊂ O(n)?

Reddit is full of idiots who are too confident about things they don't understand and aren't humble enough to admit they're wrong, so they just insist and I just don't care anymore.

And let's not even get started about having nuance and a balance point of view in politics.

I think it is not a matter of whether it is more of a "physical problem" or a "mathematical one". They knew a solution existed but it was physically unfeasible, which prompted them to mathematically optimize the solution by using fewer sides. They found a solution using only 120 sides, and a lower bound of 30 is known but brute-forcing it is still computationally expensive.

The criteria for accuracy is a bit mysterious to me, I drew Cinnamoroll instead of this "Pillsbury Doughboy" that I never heard about but still got 88% score.

I skipped straight to the end to find exactly what I expected the tutorial would cover: security and isolation.
