A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

14 days is not a long time between announcement and removal. This press article picked up on it even later/shorter. (Predictably. It takes time for the info to spread.)
If these are the models most damaging to vulnerable people their deactivation seems like a good thing though.
The free chatgpt switches to mini after x prompts in a conversation. What will it switch to now?
The free version of Gemini is incomparably better then chatGpt in a great many tasks including coding. I expect it increasingly doesn't matter what they do in the free tier.
