Excuse my ignorance but last I heard they were explicitly not massacarring anyone or taking a strong stance in any way as to not get deposed before they were internally stable? And is the dictator part a jab at coming to power with a coup or is there something else?

Op please change the title as to not further fuel the misinformation. Arstechnica seems to enjoy burying the actual information 3 paragraphs in where they know nobody will read them and your embellishments aren’t helping.

Arstechnica suggests that humans have access to the data and as evidence they linked a site saying humans don’t have access.
Ars seems to want us to think the red rectangles in the image are contradictory. They aren’t as Gemini Apps can be individually turned off independent of Gemini Apps Activity (history) and vice versa. The forced 3 day activity storage doesn’t enable the apps themselves.

Im not sure I like the cpu utilization being based on the base clock. A percentage that can go arbitrarily above 100 doesn’t sound useful for determining bottlenecks. It must be difficult to accurately determine given all the dynamic boost stuff but since all other such utilities figured it out surely they can too. Hope they don’t just leave this as good enough.
This is literally the ‘colorblind’ argument
