Google’s vision for the future of search shows how generative AI is all about increasing corporate power.
Instead of sending you to different websites, Google has scraped the open web to generate plagiarized answers to keep you looking at ads on Google. We need to stop being distracted by AI hype and fantasies about intelligent machines, so we can push back on the real threats before it’s too late.
Google announced yesterday that many of its major products will have AI integration, which includes one of the most widely used sites, Google Search. As Big Tech companies battle for AI dominance, Europe is taking the lead with specific guardrails. Vox looks at what Washington is doing to protect Americans from AI's rapid advancement.
But I will never join the Google ecosystem because all the data one puts into Google’s cloud is accessible by Google, by anyone who hacks Google, and by any government that forces Google to hand over data.
Contrast this to Apple’s iCloud, which is end-to-end encrypted. This means Apple cannot see the data you store with it¹ and therefore hackers/governments also cannot do anything with it if accessed.
"Auf der Keynote seiner Entwicklerkonferenz praesentierte Google seine neuen AI-Services & eine PR-Show, die vor allen Dingen Vertrauen schaffen sollte. Alle Highlights im Ueberblick!"
Ich bin spaet dran.... Moin #Mastodon und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Donnerstag.
Das Foto stammt von meiner letzten #GoogleIO aus dem Jahre 2017... damals hat man angekuendigr von "Mobile" zu "Ai first" zu wechseln und genau deshalb arbeite ich an einer #Metacheles Sonderausgabe... Die kommt dann hoffentlich noch heute Vormittag.
I may be wrong, but AI is not a thing yet, right? All the "AI" talk at #GoogleIO (and everywhere...) is really machine learning, not artificial intelligence, right? Learning algorithms are super impressive, but there's no real intelligence there yet, as I understand it...
My latest video review is for the #Pixel7a. There's even a bonus if you watch all the way through. Try to see if you can spot what it is... #Google#GoogleIO#GooglePixel7a
I think #GoogleIO was good, but my takeaways are #AI in Search, The Pixel Tablet, and some of the new app features. I will be buying a Pixel tablet on price alone. I then plan to compare it to the SamSung Tab S8 on the #iACast.
Today at #GoogleIO, it was announced that Interaction to Next Paint (INP) will become a Core Web Vital in 2024. Here's what you need to know about INP, including the answer to the all-important question: Does INP align with real user behaviour?
The next big “the algorithm is biased!” battleground will happen in search - once again - as generative AI results begin to include citations, and outlets scream that their version of reality has been censored.
Overall I wasn't that impressed with #googleio this year.
It was basically just AI, AI, AI and most of that looked like catching up with other companies. #google
Pixel Tablet is super tempting and seems fairly priced. I love the idea of a shared, docked tablet that functions primarily as a home hub.
Assuming the assistant works like a Nest Hub does when it's docked, it'd be great in the kitchen while cooking and plucked off the dock to read the news with breakfast. hmmmMMMMMmmMMM :blobfoxthink: #GoogleIO
For a company that just fired all their leading AI Ethics researchers, Google sure talked a lot about "responsible" AI in their Keynote #Google#googleio#ai#aiethics
