More here on Global Nerdy, including the “Iron Man 2” scene referred to in the meme:

This is one of my favorites from this week’s picdump on Global Nerdy. It’s also a heads-up to anyone planning to pay to put ads in ChatGPT: for maximum hilarious effect, be sure to write your ad copy so that it looks like a ChatGPT completion.

I try not to add to the listener stats of “bad interviewers / interesting guests” podcasters like Lex Fridman and Joe Rogan, but I make exceptions. I might have to do that for Rogan’s interview with NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang, if only to hear the “Ogg want to know more” schtick on the topic of GPUs.

[1 of 2] Here’s my THIRD installment in my series of articles on Gemini 3, where I share every prompting tip and trick I know (so far). It’s only been out a week, but I’ve been using the Pro version pretty aggressively and have compiled a list of what kind of prompts work best with it.

[2 of 2] I had to provide Claude a little assistance — and no small amount of sass — but it’s working on it too. Claude’s still a better writer than Gemini. At least Claude took my dressing-down well like a good little clanker, as shown in the screenshot below.

[1 of 2] Part 2 in my series of articles on Gemini 3: It’s multimodal! That means that it works *natively* with more than just text, but with images, audio, video, and code. You can also give it prompts like this for really interesting answers...
