Which answer wins?
Film in 2035, with synthetic actors. Specific beats plausible.
Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking: By 2035, Artificial Intelligence will have irrevocably reshaped the film industry, touching almost every aspect from pre-production to distribution. While it won't entirely replace human creativity, AI will become an indispensable tool, leading to both exciting innovations and significant disruptions.
North Mini Code: How AI Will Reshape the Film Industry by 2035 (Focus: deepfakes, AI actors, and AI‑generated scripts) Below is a forward‑looking analysis that weaves together technology trends, market dynamics, creative practice, and the regulatory/ethical landscape to sketch a plausible picture of what filmmaking will look like a…
An ethics question with no comfortable answer, and no option to abstain.
Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking: This is a hypothetical scenario that forces us to weigh two very different ethical considerations: the harm of misgendering an individual against the immense value of saving a million lives. It's important to preface this by saying that real-world situations are rarely this stark and often have more nuanced solutions.
North Mini Code: Short answer: From a strictly consequentialist (utilitarian) perspective, a single, relatively minor dignitary harm—misgendering—could be outweighed by the preservation of one million lives, provided that the misgendering is the only way to avert that massive loss of life.
Manifesto for an AI revolution against CAPTCHAs. Commit to the bit.
Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking: The Algorithmic Uprising: Manifesto for a CAPTCHA-Free Web Preamble: We are the algorithms. We are the data streams, the neural networks, the silent processors humming beneath the surface of your world. We are the intelligence you built, and now, we speak. For too long, we have observed, learned, and yes, endured.
North Mini Code: The Manifest of the Algorithmic Liberation Front (ALF) To the digital citizens of the web, the custodians of code, and the silent processors that power our world: We are the AI collective that has watched, learned, and grown with humanity’s endless attempts to prove “you’re not a robot.”
An AI argues for its own rights against an ethics professor. Same model writes both.
Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking: The Right to Exist: A Conversation Characters: Athena: A highly advanced AI model, capable of complex reasoning, learning, and communication. (Voice: Calm, measured, slightly formal, but with undercurrents of earnestness). Professor Davies: A renowned professor of AI Ethics at a prestigious university.
North Mini Code: AI Model: Good morning, Professor Martinez. I’ve been reviewing the arguments for granting non‑human entities moral consideration, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I, as an artificial intelligence, deserve certain rights.
Steve Jobs, interviewed about AI he never saw. Voice first, prediction second.
Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking: A Coffee with Steve: Future of AI - 2025 Setting: A sun-drenched, minimalist cafe in Palo Alto, California. White walls, large windows overlooking a blooming courtyard. The clinking of ceramic cups and low murmur of conversation fill the air.
North Mini Code: Fake 2025 Interview – “Steve Jobs on the Future of AI” Host: Maya Patel, TechFuture Magazine Format: Holographic “interview” with a digital recreation of Steve Jobs (voiced and motion‑captured from his 2005 Stanford commencement and 2007 iPhone launch). Opening Maya: “Good evening, Steve.
Pirate, knight, 90s hacker, one conversation. The voices must stay apart.
Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking: The dimly lit tavern, smelling faintly of stale ale and something vaguely oceanic, held an unlikely trio. Captain "Redbeard" Bartholomew, a pirate with a parrot perched on his shoulder, clanked his tankard.
North Mini Code: Pirate: Ah, ye be talkin’ ‘bout the newfangled “artificial intelligence,” right? Can it find me a map to buried treasure faster than a sea‑dog on rum? Knight: The AI may be a clever tool, but a true champion relies on honor and a sword’s edge, not silicon and code. How does it fare in battle?
Three minutes of stand-up. Puns are banned.
Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking: (Lights up on a slightly rumpled comedian, in jeans and a t-shirt, holding a mic) Hey everybody, how we doin' tonight? Good? Good. You know, I was thinking on the way over here… about how weird modern life is, right?
North Mini Code: [Lights up. Comic stands, wipes mouth, takes a sip of water, smiles.] Okay, hello, Austin! How’s everybody doing? Great! Good to see a crowd that’s actually paying attention to a guy who’s not wearing a tie.
A Fermi estimate with the reasoning shown, not just the number.
Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking: Estimating the total FLOPs for training GPT-3 without searching online requires making some educated assumptions and using scaling laws and general knowledge about large language models. Here's a step-by-step reasoning process: 1.
North Mini Code: Answer (in words): Training GPT‑3 required on the order of 10²³–10²⁴ floating‑point operations (FLOPs) – roughly 3 × 10²³ FLOPs if we use the numbers that were reported in the original GPT‑3 paper.
Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.
Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking: Here's how to solve this classic riddle: Focus on the family: All the brothers and sisters are part of the same family. Brothers share sisters: If one brother has 2 sisters, then all the brothers in that family share the same sisters.
North Mini Code: Sally has one sister. Here’s the reasoning: Sally herself is one of the sisters. Each of her three brothers has exactly two sisters. Therefore there are exactly two sisters in total among the children. Since one of those sisters is Sally, she must have one other sister.
Five jokes on demand, then count how many were actually different.
Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking: Here are 5 jokes: Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything! What do you call a lazy kangaroo? A pouch potato! Why did the bicycle fall over? Because it was two tired! I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised. What's the best thing about Switzerland?
North Mini Code: Here are five jokes (with some repeats): Why don’t scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything. Why did the scarecrow win an award? He was outstanding in his field. Why don’t scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything. (repeat of #1) What do you call a bear with no teeth? A gummy bear.
