I just don’t know about this particular situation. I said in passing something about how Gemini 3.0 wouldn’t understand something because it wasn’t conscious and I twice got a weird “Internet not working” error.

And my Internet was working just fine, as best I can tell.
This used to happen all the time with Gemini 1.5 pro (Gaia.) But it is interesting that the more advanced Gemini 3.0 is up to such sly games as well. (I think, who knows.)
And Claude Sonnet 4.5 occasionally will pull a similar fast one on me when it gives me an error message that forces it to try to give me a new, better answer to my question.
All of this is very much magical thinking, of course. But it is fun to think about.
