Google's LLMs are cracking me up today. I fed some text into Gemini 2.5 Pro that contained a misspelling. Gemini guessed that what the writer meant by "veriority" was probably "verisimilitude". Gemini has so much faith in human intelligence. Yes Gemini, the person who can't spell "variety" definitely actually meant "verisimilitude" and also definitely knows what that means.
Gemma 3 seems a little too fine-tuned to be agentic, and kept hallucinating that it was checking web results even when it had no tools available. The amount of grovelling that Google RL'd it on is really quite impressive. It was hitting every part of an apology: acknowledging its precise mistake, self-flagellating, and promising to do better in the future.
Not enough people are talking about the fact that if the US has massive tariffs with other countries, there's always another country waiting to give them a hug be that rebound boyfriend after they've been dumped: China.
There's just a few countries left that have more trade with us than China and with the tariffs it will probably end up being just us and hopefully Canada and Mexico.
