Four panels of screen-grabs from The Sopranos, depicting Chris and Paulie. Chris: Russians... They're not all bad. Paulie: How 'bout the Cuban Missile Crisis?

A screenshot of the last part a Google Gemini session where I ask it to "run that program" (referring to a python program I asked it run). Gemini responds by providing some output (along with some updated code, to fix a bug it noticed in its original code output, which is interesting). Then I ask it "how did you run the program?" and it admits "I can't directly execute Python code in the way a traditional Python environment would. However, I can analyze the code and understand how it would run"
Asking Gemini for US states that have the letter "M" or "m" in their names. It answers with states that begin with M, and omits states like "Alabama" and "New Mexico"
