> This is not the same as the publicly available version of Gemini that made headlines for refusing to create pictures of white people. That will be forgotten in a week; this will be relevant for months and years to come.

I cannot disagree with this more strongly. The image issue is just indicative of the much larger issue where Google's far left DEI policies are infusing their products. This is blatantly obvious with the ridiculous image issues, but the problem is that their search is probably similarly compromised and is much less obvious with far more dire consequences.

Do you remember Tay? You don't have to have "far left DEI policies" to want to defend against worst case scenario as strongly as possible. Even if, in the case of this image weirdness, it works against you.

Google has so much to lose in terms of public perception if they allow their models to do anything offensive. Now, if your point was that "the same decisions that caused the image fiasco will find its way into Gemini 1.5 upon public release, softening its potential impact," then I would agree.
