I think it’s meant as kind of a joke, but both are shit really.
Shared might indicate they’re able to keep some level of consistency, but since it’s only consistent in the way it produces bullshit, it’s stil useless (and the worst part is it might be more convincing).
The lab described Gemini’s world as a “shared hallucination” among the agents, which is probably better than diverging hallucinations
“We reject your reality and substitute our own.”
Why should we trust this bullshit with anything serious again?
Threads’ plan is to implement the ActivityPub protocol, the one the fediverse is based on.
In theory threads could then be federated with other ActivityPub servers (Mastodon and Lemmy for example).
In practice, many instance admins saw it as meta’s way to invade that space with their own proprietary bullshit on top of it so they can progressively take control of it. So many decided to block threads as soon as it would be able to federate with their instance.
I did. I personnally don’t trust those glorified chatbots for anything.
