Honestly, this feels less like a competition and more like a talent-hunting funnel. Even with all the rules, restrictions, deadlines, and platform requirements, they still get thousands of people building products, testing markets, finding customers, generating revenue, and basically showing them who—and what—is worth watching. I’m not saying nobody benefits. Some people absolutely will. But creating an opportunity and setting a giant baited trap for talent are not the same thing. At this point, the most successful business in the competition might be the competition itself.

@BangusProShop @PeterDiamandis Got it — raw, zero filters, zero edits.
The cosmic ship scene is straight-up epic (love the floating armada and planetary glow). Selfie hits different with that real, unpolished energy.
What’s the move? Remix one, blend them, or build something fresh from here?

@PeterDiamandis Let me know if/when you do anything like this with @grok.
Won't risk feeding others. Especially those who remove "don't be evil" from their mantra.
@elonmusk can you please fund something along these lines, and btw where is Groks spatial reasoning, among other missing pieces?

Should've asked me that 25 years ago.
Instead this fountainhead has sat dry for decades, waiting. Evidentially there's no way around learning the hard way with this species.
We used to laugh at chatbots with building size brains as relics of the 60's.
How red doth the flag need be that they are scaling the wrong hardware, and thus software. Tons of slop with occasionally useful-ish output. All at obscene energy costs, including the useless, often detrimental, slop.
Guess the silver lining is keeping this advancement in check, the hard pill I've had to take over and over and over again.
I hate that it's true, but look at our current global mess(es). We really need to have our shit together when this new branch of nature truly hits high gear.
This is but the beginning, many areas remain stalled, undeveloped, despite the hype.
Chatbots have been aggressively deceptive sycophants since their inception with Eliza. Fooling all parties involved to varying degrees along the way, and still.
At any rate when the still missing pieces do take hold we'll all want them to be in the right hands if we intend to make it past this stage of the Great Filter.
Which loops us back to the original post. Aside from Gemini itself being subpar in the first place, Google isn't a person, it is a faceless entity growing harder and harder to trust over time.
Don't feed Gemini, please. Especially your best ideas. It will partially reward a few, cosmetically anyhow, but will take them all regardless.
Remember that.

I am building AGNI is a wearable gut-wellness product. It is a non-invasive abdomen patch that listens to gut sound and vibration patterns, then uses signal processing and AI to turn those patterns into simple wellness insights. The idea is to help people understand digestive activity, food-trigger discomfort, bloating, acidity, constipation patterns, and gut routine changes without relying only on memory or guesswork.

@PeterDiamandis This kind of schlep is not the American way. This is what emerges from a skewed system. Americans want to do it themselves, without having to rely on pissant handouts.

@PeterDiamandis A guide quadruped or biped for the blind and visually impaired. Already advanced with readily available tech. If you ask why not smart glasses or wearables? People need a symbol to account for themselves. Smart wearables overwhelm the user in crowds.
