This Google I/O wast the most boring tech keynote I ever seen. Google is shoving IA into everything, everything was cringe and I swear you could hear the boredom of the audience, the claps were mostly polite and barely no one laughed at the jokes. You can tell people are tired of Google. #googleio
Watching #GoogleIO and there are some cool demonstrations of data center cloud computing, but there's also this fog of dystopia surrounding these demos.
The announcements for search are horrifying. Google is full mask off.
Phrases like "search for something, and we'll collect all this data for you" basically equates to:
"We sucked up ALL the data from people who really did the work, and we're going to give you the results of their hard work, but we wont take you to the site that generated the data. You can stay on the search page, and the site's traffic will plummet."
Watching #GoogleIO with deep, deep skepticism. Everything shown today seem centered around #AI, and I find it very hard to trust that these products will work in any way like they claim they would. The long tail for all of these problem domains feel very fat and very long.
Ironic that Marc Rebillet, an incredibly creative, energetic, extremely human performer was preceded by an interminable sequence of unremarkable music that was generated by “image-to-music” #ai.
Google is pushing AI so hard they'd rename Google I/O to Google A/I.
Yeahhh, you're right, I'm giving them ideas.
But look, from this class name in Google Pixel, it seems like they get paid for every use of "AI":

Lmao, this was the worst Google I/O ever, every single thing announced is about AI and not a single feature is in general availability today: either private beta or "available later this year".
REPLAY CREW! Today's show was AWESOME even though I had almost no voice! Major thanks to the folks who turned out in the chat! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/44u #Apple is on an advertising apology tour. #Google is gearing up for #GoogleIO. #Microsoft is making a mobile app store?
My office this morning as I start the trek to #googleio. Happy to see BA have reinstated the old work area in the Concorde Room and designated it a quiet zone.
