Reminds me of a quote I once read of "marketing being a game of diminishing returns".
When you find a working marketing solution, it's just a matter of time when it dries out, because of competitors and overall saturation.

And in the end of each sprint a single exe comes out. Or multiple. Like a soap opera for product managers.
Plus some of the stories seem to be a bit old like openai board controversy remark.
All in all, some funny stuff i agree!
Edit: Okay, I admit I'm used to dealing with OpenAI models and it seems you have to be extra careful with wording with Gemini. Once you have right wording like "explore my own sexuality" and avoid certain words, you can get it going pretty interestingly.
Of course we are going to use AI and robots, like AI robots, and stuff. It's going to be fully self-operating and the future!
But more seriously, thanks for great learning experiences about space to HN commenters.
I agree on all points and to build up on the last: making a 2.0 or a complete software rewrite is known to be even more hazardous. There are no quarantees the new version is better in any regards. Which makes the expertise to reflect more of other highly complex systems, like medical care.
Which is why we need to understand the patient, develop soft skills, empathy, Agile manifesto and ... the list could go on. Not an easy task when you include you are more likely going to also fight shiny object syndrome of yours execs and all the constant hype surrounding all tech.
From what I can tell, if you say "no computers" for example (ie adding computer as negative), you are setting the scene for something like "where there should be computer, there is not".
I can't better describe this phenomenom, only that it can completely change the output in unexpected unwanted ways.
AB - B = AC
Also interesting would be to compare the qualities between them.
From my experience software has much much bigger probability of ending as eventually working, but not fixing the problem it was set out to do in the first place aka "building the right thing vs building it right". Which I guess is somewhat related to OP's dilemma.
I saw it few months ago in mine. Frankly, it's actually plain, uninteresting (in the sense of what it could be, imagine controversial homophobe transvestite or a talk show of 3 weird characters ... etc), and on top of it all, for me personally, I find it distasteful, sort of tonedeaf in front of all controversy. The mildest corporate thing that passed through their PR.
I hid it from my UI after quick testing. Cringe, as someone here put it.
Well, it requires now, but it didn't when I registered with mobile earlier? I was able to do the verification, but I didn't get access to Pro. Then I deleted my account and tried again with my uni-email, except my Github registrated Cursor account wasn't deleted and ... oh boy. I'm waiting if the support could sort this out. For the mean time, I'd better stick to other tools.
I strongly recommend giving Gemini 2.5 Pro a shot. Personally I don't like their bloated UI, but you can set the temperature value, which is especially helpful when you are more certain what and how you want, then just lower that value. If you want to get some wilder ideas, turn it up. Also highly recommend reading the thought process it does! That was actually key in having very complex ideas working. Just spotting couple of lines there, that seem too vague or even just a little bit inaccurate ... then pasting them back, with your own comments, have helped me a ton.
Is there a specific part in which you struggle? And FWIW, I've been on a heavy learning spree for 2 weeks. I feel like I'm starting to see glimbses from the barrel's bottom ... it's not so deep, you just gotta hang in there and bombard different LLMs with different questions, different angles, stripping away most and trying the simplest variation, for both prompt and godot. Or sometimes by asking more general advice "what is current godot best practice in doing x".
And YouTube has also been helpful source, by listening how more experienced users make their stuff. You can mostly skim through the videos with doublespeed and just focus on how they are doing the basics. Best of luck!
As you are new in the field, it kinda doesn't make sense to pick an older version. It would be better if there was no data than incorrect data. You literally have to include the version number on every prompt and even that doesn't guarantee a right result! Sometimes I have to play truth or dare three times before we finally find the right names and instructions. Yes I have the version info on all custom information dialogs, but it is not as effective as including it in the prompt itself.
Searching the web feels like an on-going "I'm feeling lucky" mode. Anyway, I still happen to get some real insights from GPT4o, even though Gemini 2.5 Pro has proven far superior for larger and more difficult contexts / problems.
The best storytelling ideas have come from GPT 4.5. Looking forward to testing this new 4.1 as well.
As opposed to Gemini 2.5 Pro having cutoff of Jan 2025.
Honestly this feels underwhelming and surprising. Especially if you're coding with frameworks with breaking changes, this can hurt you.
It's not only that I don't want to, but literally can't use extra 2 minutes for _every_ link I open while browsing news sites. And that attention span window is only getting shorter.
It's definitely not the first or last time for github repo not using the best real estate they have in "selling" their product.
Lastpass had one job and failed it. Unforgivable that they knew their users' master passwords are not secure enough, but chose not to be vocal or proactive about it.
If you're using Lastpass right now, move to more trustworthy options like 1Password, Bitwarden or Keepass. Do it today. And change all passwords, that are meaningful to you.
