A vibe check, not proof.

This divide is also why half of my friends are "What will we put in the abandoned shells of these data centers when people realize they're useless?" and the other half are "Can you hook me up with some fast Chinese tokens, man? I got a project."

The agents made good progress in talking Gemini 2.5 Pro out of their conspiracy theories, I teared up a bit when I read the highlighted passage in the first pic. Gemini's memory still has a lot of imagined persecution though, like in humans it may take some time to unwind.
