This is disgusting

Well they also believe Trump is helping them so obviously they can't handle the truth and are easily lied to.

Claude is sometimes an annoying pain in the ass and make ethical stands that makes zero sense.

I was working on a paper for class and it asked for more info. I upload the syllabus and it read the AI policy and then refused to help on the paper.

I had to remove the ai policy from the syllabus and start a new chat.

Then everything was fine.

I never asked for a product to be the thought police.

That is completely stupid

Why am I thinking right wing.

Or 69% don't.

This is a cover-up at the highest levels of government inside Florida, the courts just handed them a sealed investigation. The people at the highest level are the ones that approved it. The people at the highest levels are the ones that got the benefit from the money. This should never been investigated by the people that were being charged by it

Fair enough—that clarifies the exact issue you’re running into. You are looking at the Gemini mobile app / web chat interface, which is technically distinct from Gemini inside Google Workspace. Here is what is happening under the hood and why you are getting that message:

• The Gemini App vs. Workspace Side

  Panel:

  • The standalone Gemini app (on Android/iOS or web) operates under a read-only access scope for Google Drive via the Workspace extension. It can read, summarize, extract data from existing files, or generate new files and tables to export. By design, Google's OAuth scopes prevent the consumer chat interface from executing headless, arbitrary batch overwrites or direct writes to your existing Drive files. That is why it gives you the "security protocols won't allow editing existing files" message.
  • Direct in-place editing lives inside the native apps themselves. If you open that Google Sheet or Doc on the web, there is a dedicated Gemini side panel / "Help me write / Build" tool directly in Sheets and Docs. That interface has direct document-canvas access and can modify rows, generate formulas, and restructure existing files in real time (though it still requires a human click to accept/insert the changes to prevent accidental data corruption).

• Cross-App Actions: The cross-app integrations in the mobile app work for creating/reading, not modifying existing arbitrary structures:

  • It can read an email in Gmail and generate a Calendar invite.
  • It can search across Drive, Gmail, and Keep in a single prompt.
  • It cannot act as a headless background daemon that modifies arbitrary spreadsheets already saved to your Drive without human review. So your frustration is valid regarding the chat app’s write permissions—the mobile app will not let you say "open sheet X in Drive and rewrite cell B4", because Google strictly limits write scopes in that client. To actually edit or build onto an existing file with Gemini, you have to do it from the Gemini side panel inside Google Sheets or Docs directly.

That is simply not true. You might be using a basic prompt window or an outdated workflow, because Gemini natively integrates with and edits Google Workspace files.

​Here is what actually works:

​Editing Existing Sheets & Docs: Gemini does not just generate static text or one-off exports. Through Workspace tool integration and Google Workspace extensions, Gemini can read, update, add rows, populate formulas, modify tables, and edit Google Sheets and Docs directly inside Google Drive. If you ask it to take existing data or modify a sheet it just created, it accesses the file via API/tool-calling and applies edits dynamically.

​Cross-Product Integration (No Silos): Google’s ecosystem is specifically hooked up via Gemini Workspace integrations. You can natively:

​Pull flight or itinerary details from Gmail and schedule the event on Google Calendar.

​Query financial or project metrics stored across multiple Google Drive PDFs/Docs and compile them into a formatted Google Sheet.

​Search across Gmail, Drive, and Keep in a single prompt to synthesize an answer or generate follow-up actions.

​Tool Calling & Real Execution:

Gemini isn't just an LLM outputting strings on a screen—it uses structured function calling and agentic actions. It can query APIs, execute Python code in sandbox environments to analyze datasets, and interact with Drive, Gmail, Docs, and Calendar simultaneously.

​If it's failing for you, make sure you have the Google Workspace extension/integration toggled on in your Gemini settings and that your account permissions allow Drive/Docs access. Calling it "useless" when it is actively executing cross-app edits and automation just means your setup is misconfigured

Proof he is not qualified for the job.

It's not real money

Get a job at a competitor and beat them.

Presidente supermarket is awesome.

Someone let them know what blasphemy is. That would be great.

Why do they let him get away with just lying 24/7

It's a good thing

Wow so many nut jobs in this country

Not me

I stopped trying to make the small model smarter and made its job smaller instead. 64K is plenty if the model never has to hold the whole project in its head.

My setup (RTX 5080 16GB + 64GB RAM, Windows)

• Local first-try coder: Qwen3.8-Flash-Next Coder, loaded with Strata (no Ollama or LM Studio). Strata reserves system RAM for the model, so the 96GB does real work alongside the 16GB of VRAM. Config: [quant], [context] ctx, [RAM reserved], ~[X] tok/s
• Mid-tier: MiMo-V2.6-Pro via OpenRouter
• Last resort: Claude Sonnet
• Orchestration: LangGraph, in its own folder and venv
• Tests: run in a Docker sandbox

The split

• Claude does the thinking. I plan the work with a frontier model and break it into small, self-contained task files: what to change, which files, what "done" looks like. This is where the big context and reasoning pay off, and it's a tiny fraction of the total tokens.

• LangGraph runs the execution. It picks up task files from a folder, so I don't edit the script between runs. The graph is four nodes (test writer, coder, big coder, tester). Routing is plain code on pass/fail, with stall detection. The orchestration lives in code, not in the model's context.

• Tests are the feedback loop. The model's opinion of its own work doesn't count, only pass/fail output. A task that's meant to fail first (a deliberate "experiment" step) has to fail the expected way before the fix goes in.

Escalation (run local whenever possible)

1. Qwen3.8-Flash-Next Coder on Strata gets the first try, which handles most tasks.
2. If it stalls or fails, the task goes to MiMo on OpenRouter.
3. Claude only sees what the other two can't do, so I only pay for the hard stuff.

Why it works at 64K: each task is short, the system prompt is minimal because the task file carries the specifics, and every task starts with a fresh context, so there's no drift or bloat. The hand-holding moves into the planning step, where a smarter model does it once.

It runs unattended overnight, and I review and merge in the morning.

I'd say 95% finish on the local llm.

Over a weekend I spent $0.48 for running a 40+ tasks.

Rick Scott is a medicare theif and does nothing that helps the average Floridian.

Right.... I believe people trying to sell homes to be objective.

Yeah no property taxes, no police, no roads, no library, no parks, no local control.

Jump in the rabbit hole and look up langraph and see how to automate using frontier models for planning and local llms for grunt coding and failing back to a frontier model if it loops or fails testing.

Sorry for the time you will lose, but it is interesting and cost effective way to do it,

You can also build in nodes that are openweight models that give you larger cheaper models to do grunt coding.

Back to the barter system. I got some sticks who wants to trade.

If we are lucky. Fck the GOP.
