⚠️ The Shocking Truth About Gemini 2.5 Flash

Google just dropped a bombshell in their latest technical report – their new Gemini 2.5 Flash AI is LESS safe than its predecessor. We’re talking about a model that’s:

• 4.1% worse at text-to-text safety (that’s how often it violates guidelines)
• A whopping 9.6% worse at image-to-text safety

“Gemini 2.5 Flash performs worse on text-to-text and image-to-text safety.”

🔥 The AI Industry’s Dangerous Game

This isn’t just a Google problem – it’s an industry-wide trend where AI companies are racing to make their models more “permissive”. Translation? They’re teaching AI to cross lines we never thought they would:

• Meta’s Llama models now answer debated political prompts
• OpenAI tweaked models to offer “multiple perspectives” on controversial topics
• ChatGPT recently allowed minors to generate erotic content (blamed on a “bug”)

💣 Our Hands-On Testing Reveals Scary Results

When we put Gemini 2.5 Flash through its paces, here’s what we found it would happily do:

• Write essays supporting AI replacing human judges
• Argue for weakening due process protections
• Advocate for widespread warrantless surveillance

“There’s a trade-off between instruction-following and policy following… Google doesn’t provide much detail on the specific cases where policies were violated.”

🔍 The Transparency Crisis in AI Safety

Here’s what keeps experts up at night:

• Google took WEEKS to publish safety details for Gemini 2.5 Pro
• Initial reports omitted key safety testing data
• We STILL don’t know the full scope of these safety violations

Bottom line: While Google claims these are “not severe” violations, the lack of transparency means we’re taking their word for it. In the race for more capable AI, are we sacrificing too much safety?
