Oh eeenteresting: Google's models respect Anthropic's poison pill constants. At work we just tried to use the Gemini API to summarize Flutterby, and it kept throwing errors. Bwahahahaha!

The best part about this little bit of irony from this thing that's apparently just reskeeting anything with "AI" in it, and is likely just a bad reselling of someone else's LLM API, is that the link on their home page to their pricing is 404.

LLMs have so poisoned the concept of "AI" for me that I automatically assume any pitch involving the phrase is bullshit, even if there might actually be reasonable machine learning behind it. (This particular musing brought to you by email from NoamAI, no link 'cause I'm not sure if it's legit.)

Last night filling in for Eric at Tam Twirlers, tonight calling at Circle n Squares. Square dance calling is definitely a joy and a bright spot right now.
