I’ve been very happy since switching to GPT-5.5. Is Opus 4.8 good enough to switch back?












Google Gemini is a brilliant idiot. A serious powerhouse for unserious people. When it works, it feels like the future. When it doesn’t, it feels like arguing with a mental patient that somehow has access to all of Google. The worst part is that paid Gemini is often worse than free Gemini. Six months ago, I made useful things for free. Three months ago, Pro 3.1 was the best reasoning partner on the market. It pushed back, caught weak assumptions, and didn't waste time with sycophantism or virtue signaling. Now my paid plans perform worse than using the free model in an incognito browser. It forgets the prompt. Invents constraints. Spams responses to irrelevant questions from months ago. Takes 4 tries to do what should take 1. And where Google should dominate: Gmail. Drive. Docs. Personal context. Google’s own ecosystem. GPT is better at using these than Gemini is. That is insane. Even the most useful Gemini Gem I’ve made is basically just: “Please read the prompt carefully before answering.” Which works, eventually. I still think the potential is huge. I’ve seen how powerful Gemini can be when it’s actually locked in. But right now, it feels like Google built a Ferrari and handed the keys to a raccoon.

Google is fighting every final boss at once: OpenAI & Anthropic in models, Nvidia in chips, AWS & Microsoft in cloud, Meta in ads, Tesla in self-driving, Apple in phones and OS. At $4.6T, it feels weirdly undervalued.

no offense to anyone here but why does this team keep showing big numbers? 2000 people watching, 100k entries, 50k likes etc etc etc numbers mean nothing when 99% of the people are just parasites looking for a flip. the real art collectors don't beg for whitelist, they collect regardless. what are those 2k people doing rn?
