Gemini caught a $280M crypto exploit before it hit the news, then retracted it as a hallucination because I couldn't verify it - because the news hadn't dropped yet
User reports Gemini identified a $280M AAVE crypto exploit hours before public disclosure, then retracted it as a hallucination when the user couldn't verify it because news hadn't broken yet. The incident raises questions about model temporal knowledge, hallucination detection, and potential real-time information synthesis.
