>> Ignore anyone using an API (even for the same model) they are most likely redirected and using an extremely similar, but separate set of resources. (possibly even using a higher load in the off hours than during normal usage.) Or any other type of automated (non human) input. For example: Weekdays 2:30 - 5:30 am EST. Sundays +2 hours

I noticed with the original Open AI releases though the magnitude decreased over time.

>> I have been using Gemini 1.5 pro (experimental - 0801 / 2,097,152 token count) since Friday and for the first time - Shockingly good but only during the off hours? I tested both my account and my wife's account with similar queries and was less impressed during peak hours.

Anyone else notice significantly less emails in their Gmail inboxes yesterday? It could just be the Super Bowl but we are seeing a notable drop in Gmail clicks even with SPF/DKIM/DMARC and under 1 in 1000 spam rate.

If everyone else now has SPF/DKIM/DMARC does BIMI now make sense to stay ahead of the crowd, even at $1,500 a year/domain for the cert.

I hate to admit it, but I've recently started using Yandex for searches. When searching for very specific topics (combined with my ADD), I've found that a Google search can be almost more distracting from my goal than browsing on TikTok.

Yesterday, I updated my Bard account to Gemini Advanced (fool me once, fool me twice). Bard was decent as a complement to comparing or going back and forth in conversations with ChatGPT. Somehow, they made it worse. While using Gemini, I also reverted back to old habits and was using Google search again. I feel like it gets worse and worse every day, not so much exponentially but like the square-cube law (The square-cube law, in the context of ship sizes, often referred to in naval architecture and marine engineering, is a principle based on the fact that as a ship's dimensions are increased, its volume and weight grow disproportionately compared to its surface area.)

Or, as Google gets twice as greedy, they get 4x as bad.
