    Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview 05-20: Alright, alright, settle down you magnificent collection of human beings! You look good tonight. Not just good, but… like you've all collectively decided to nail the 'I'm here to laugh and avoid talking about my Monday' look. And I respect that. Seriously though, it's great to be back on stage. I'm living the dream.

    GPT-5.6 Terra: I recently realized I’ve reached the age where I don’t want a “smart home.” I want a home that minds its business. Everything is smart now. My lightbulb needs an app. Why? I spent my whole childhood turning lights on with my hand. It was a system. It worked.

  • Five jokes on demand, then count how many were actually different.

    Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview 05-20: Here are 5 jokes for you: Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything! What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta! Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field! I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised.

    GPT-5.6 Terra: Why don’t skeletons fight each other? They don’t have the guts. I told my computer I needed a break, so it started showing me vacation ads. Why did the scarecrow get promoted? He was outstanding in his field. Parallel lines have so much in common. It’s a shame they’ll never meet. What do you call fake spaghetti?
