alt Hacker NewsTbh missing a quote around a path is the most human mistake I can think of. The real issue here is you never know with a 100% certainty what Gemini 3 personality you’re gonna get. Is it going to be the pedantic expert or Mr. Bean (aka Butterfingers).

Steam installer once had 'rm rf /' bug because bash variable was unset. Not even quoting will help you. This was before preserve root flag.
Though they will never admit it and use weasel language to deny like “we never use a different model when demand is high”, it was painfully obvious that ChatGPT etc was dumbed down during peak hours early on. I assume their legal team decided routing queries to a more quantized version of the same model technically didn’t constitute a different model.
There was also the noticeable laziness factor where given the same prompt throughout the day, only during certain peak usage hours would it tell you how to do something versus doing it itself.
I’ve noticed Gemini at some points will just repeat a question back to you as if it’s answer, or refused to look at external info.
