Here’s Ben Stein in 1979 describing television as an engine of cultural demoralization. He argues that a small clique of producers and writers pushed a left-coded inversion of reality onto the public. They despised traditional power centers and hated figures like Buckley. They propagandized the nation into accepting a fake world where businessmen are villains, criminals are the good-guys, small towns are sinister, military officers are proto-fascists, and work barely exists.

As part of the Gemma 4 release, we're launching Agent Skills: an Android app experience where you can import different skills and have Gemma 4 E2B reason and use the skills! Running entirely in the phone, available in the Google PlayStore. Try it now!

.@GoogleDeepMind Gemma 4 is here with state-of-the-art models targeting edge and workstations. Requires Ollama 0.20+ that is rolling out. 4 models: 4B Effective (E4B) ollama run gemma4:e4b 2B Effective (E2B) ollama run gemma4:e2b 26B (4B active MoE) ollama run gemma4:26b 31B (Dense) ollama run gemma4:31b Benchmarks 👇👇👇

Gemma 4 is out. ✅ Reasoning ✅ Multi-modal ✅ Apache 2.0 ✅ Supported in Cloud Run with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPUs

Meet Gemma 4! Purpose-built for advanced reasoning and agentic workflows on the hardware you own, and released under an Apache 2.0 license. We listened to invaluable community feedback in developing these models. Here is what makes Gemma 4 our most capable open models yet: 👇

Friendly reminder that Gemini has a built-in alternative to OpenClaw. Yes. Agent mode can literally perform any task: - Leverage a web browser to use any site/tool - Connected to Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Tasks, etc. - Generate presentations with Slides - Use YT videos as sources - Create tasks, archive emails, draft responses And much more like deep research, canvas and so on. You can also ask Gemini to run Agent every day, once a week, etc. for recurring tasks. Probably the feature that people sleep on the most.

You asked, we delivered. If you’re a U.S. Google user, you can now change your account username for tools like Gmail, Photos, Drive and more — while keeping your emails, data and account history. Here’s what to know: 1️⃣ You can choose any available @gmail.com username. 2️⃣ Your old username will become an alias, so you won’t lose access to it. You can still sign in and send and receive emails with both usernames. Plus, you can also revert to your old username. 3️⃣ You can choose a new username once a year — up to three times total.

@m_takewaka The Michelin Guide contains 58 BBQ restaurants, 31 are in Texas. Texas has 19 of the 33 with a Bib Gourmand recommendation, and all 4 BBQ restaurants in the world with a Michelin star are in Texas. The BBQ war is over, Texas won. guide.michelin.com/en/us/restaura…

@FedProm That was crazy

Holy shit!!!!!

@kyle_e_walker @mdancho84 I agree with this - but if LLM’s can recreate what you’re doing anyway? Sometimes better? … struggling with this a bit. I still feel the knowledge of “what to do” is more valuable than the code? In which case it doesn’t matter… I’ve argued the same with large commercial apps

@mdancho84 yeah I agree with this. it's more important than ever to be visible and put your work out there but there just isn't the same value in sharing code anymore

I'm struggling with an answer to "Can you share the code?" I've always been a big believer in open source software. I built my career on it. When I post a cool project / demo, inevitably I get the question "can you share the code?" Before LLMs, I would typically share - as this question was a request to be taught. Even if someone had the code, it would take time to reproduce what I had done. With LLMs, however, the question feels different. If I share a project repo, LLMs can often reproduce or adapt it in one shot. So the question intent changes from "can you teach me how to do this?" to "can I have your work product for free?" Even if that's not intentional by the question asker. I'm still going to keep open sourcing tools to build things - I've released more packages in the past few months than I ever have. But the value in open sourcing project code itself seems to have diminished. I'm still working through where the line is. But I'm pretty sure the answer has changed from where it was two years ago.
