Gemini has done absolutely nothing for me. I can't even shut off the navigation feature on my phone using only hands free, when I get close to my destination. I have to take my eyes off the road, look down, and tap to exit.

Google's advanced AI cannot even exit a mobile app.

Jeff and Sanjay's contributions far predate LLMs and influence far outside of Google.

Jeff was a ACM Fellow in 2009 and published the massively influential MapReduce paper in 2004.

Antigravity + Gemini Pro absolutely RIPS through fullstack react + react-native apps / systems. I pay ~$20/month and I basically don't have to do my real work anymore. My time is freed up to learn systems programming and blender.

Oh nice have things stabilized with models/quotas and Antigravity is usable with the Pro plan again? I was getting a crazy amount of value out of Gemini CLI for “free” on my Pro plan but after the shutdown struggled to make agy work with the updated quotas/bigger models without instantly being rate limited and just started doing everything on Codex/Opencode Go.

I should give it another try…

Yeah can't remember how long ago but it was running out after less than an hour - then they announced they were loosening restrictions and I've been able to easily get everything I need to done without hitting limits.

I don't do huge automatic project wide hands-off agent loops though. I spent a lot of time architecting my systems to be easy to generate code on top of with pointed & detailed prompts. So I'm not abusing context... YMMV

How does this comment relate to the parent comment?

it shows an example of how their AI cannot perform a basic task, as simple as exiting a program.

What has that to do with the comment you replied to, which was about Jeff & Sanjay achieving so much?
