A detailed data table comparing the performance of four AI models: Gemini 3 Pro, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.5, and GPT-5.1. The table lists over 15 different benchmarks covering categories like Academic Reasoning, Visual Reasoning, Scientific Knowledge, and Mathematics. The column for "Gemini 3 Pro" is highlighted in light blue and displays the highest score (bolded) across almost every category. Notable scores for Gemini 3 Pro include 37.5% on "Humanity's Last Exam," 91.9% on "GPQA Diamond," and 100% on "AIME 2025" (with code execution). The only category where another model scores higher is "SWE-Bench Verified," where Claude Sonnet 4.5 scores 77.2% compared to Gemini 3 Pro's 76.2%.
Copy of another popular internet meme, which ironically “congratulates,” others while channeling stubborn jealousy or quiet rage. The meme is funny because the toddler is demonstrating a very expressive, pouty, uncooperative facial expression that conveys their disappointment, dissatisfaction, determination not to cooperate, all in the midst of the clear “picture-day,” / “photo studio,” blurred background. Audience can imagine, instantly at first glance of the photo montage (which immediately evokes a nostalgic reference to 80s/90s/00s strip-mall photo studio sets styling) the backstory: - this toddler throwing a fit because they did not wish to go to picture day, - child is clearly determined to undermine the picture day’s success against whatever parental figure brought them to the photo shoot that day Three images of a young toddler (dressed in an all-black outfit, black hoodie + black sweatpants + white shoes) who is wearing the meanest scowl while getting his photo taken - the photo collage has each of the three (3x) photos captioned (meme captions in quotes): 1.) “CONGRATS” - child is sitting, scowling while his hands angrily hold a spider man action figure toy; child is (presumably) so mad he is not looking into the camera, but staring away to photographer’s Righthand side, wearing a facial expression as if the photographer is playing with his favorite toy; 2.) “HAPPY FOR YOU,” - close-up photo of the child staring down, while facing camera head-on, wearing a facial expression as if the photographer just took all of his juice boxes and stomped on them one by one; 3.) “NICE,” - child is again staring juuuuust away from the photographer/cameral lens, wearing an expression as if they (the photographer) just tipped over the cookout grille in front of the whole neighborhood, before the child got served any food. Child is sitting, giving a “Do I have to put up with this shit?!” look while giving the photographer a side-eye death stare into the camera.
Popular internet meme meant to ironically “congratulate,” or share celebrations while channeling ironic & stubborn jealousy or quiet rage. Three images of a young toddler (dressed in a fresh haircut, wearing his Sunday best, rust/pink chinos, pastels plaid shirt, sharp shoes, for “photo day” presumably) who is wearing the meanest scowl while getting his photo taken - the photo collage has each of the three (3x) photos captioned (meme captions in quotes): 1.) “CONGRATS” - child is standing, shrugging while his hands angrily stuffed in his pockets; child is looking right into the camera like the photographer has his hands on the child’s mother; 2.) “HAPPY FOR YOU,” - close-up photo of the child staring at the camera head-on as if the photographer just took all of his juice boxes and threw them into a dumpster 3.) “NICE,” - child is again staring at the photographer like they just tipped over the cookout grille in front of the whole neighborhood, before he got served any food. Child is sitting, wearing a “I’m disappointed but not surprised look,” while giving the photographer a death stare straight into the camera.

"Ghiblifying everything is an interesting choice for zeitgeist meme-ification, particularly because its both an effective example of what Al is supposed to be able to do- make extremely labor intensive things much easier, but also because there's something sort of gross-feeling about it-like a soulless 2025 fax version of the thing. It's an example of the things people hate about Gen AI-its abil...' Otakar G. Hubschmann An image of an archeologist adventurer who wears a hat and uses a bullwhip THEAIUNDERWRITER.SUBSTACK.COM

The table offers a quantitative overview of these models' relative capabilities across diverse cognitive and technical tasks.
Text reads: In terms of immediate employee assistance, about 100 displaced Disney workers — from assistants to the company's general counsel - have been staying in hotel rooms at Disneyland, where operations have not been interrupted. (It's 30 miles south of Los Angeles.) Disney's employee relief fund provides up to $1,500 for basic household necessities. Disney is also giving some employees an additional $2,500 as a lump sum for incidental expenses. For anyone at Disney who cannot immediately return home when the evacuation orders are lifted - some houses are gone, while others require extensive repairs - the company is providing two months of free furnished housing, among other benefits. Disney has also opened its studio wardrobe warehouses to employees who need clothes and shoes, according to Sonia Coleman, the company's chief of human resources.

Clip from the Dark Knight Rises, as Batman shuts off the lights, Bane wryly says, “Ah you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!”
