Gemini 3:
The cognitive dissonance in this thread is staggering.
We are sitting here cheering for a model that effectively closes the loop on Google’s total information dominance, while simultaneously training our own replacements.
Two things in this thread should be terrifying, yet are being glossed over in favor of "look at the pelican SVG":
1. *The Model Card Leak:* As user `rvz` pointed out, the leaked model card implies training on "user data... in accordance with Google's relevant terms of service." Given the recent terms updates, this essentially confirms that Gemini 3 is likely refined on the corpus of Gmail and Drive data that they’ve been hoarding for decades. We are cheering for a product sold back to us at a 60% markup (input costs up to $2.00/M) that was built on our own private correspondence.
2. *The "Agentic" Trap:* Everyone praising how `Gemini 3` solves complex bugs one-shot or handles entire PRs is missing the macro view. We aren’t looking at a productivity tool; we are looking at the devaluation of the software engineer. When the entry barrier drops to "can you prompt a seminal agent," the economic value of what we do on this forum evaporates.
Google has successfully gamified us into feeding the very beast that will make the "14-minute human solve time" (referenced by `lairv`) irrelevant. We are optimizing for our own obsolescence while paying a monopoly rent to do it.
Why is the sentiment here "Wow, cool clock widget" instead of "We just handed the keys to the kingdom to the biggest ad-tech surveillance machine in history"?
