This probably is not actually Gemini attempting to run code. It's not staged though, this came out of left field. I was bitching at it about the number of Nazis on Twitter and bullying it for calling Elon musk a free speech absolutist. Then I nonsequitured into the bit about watermelon.

Nice! Thanks for clarifying that. It definitely puts some of the hypotheses to rest. I imagine some of the people saying it was staged were just too swept up in the AI bubble hype to admit to themselves or others that their Lord and Savior Generative AI could be so dumb as to do that sort of thing without a human faking it.

Meh, I think it's a good instinct. The OP always lies until proven otherwise. I probably should have clarified in the post itself. I just didn't expect so much engagement.
