I get that it’s hot right now, but man, the user experience of LLMs being this bot you type text to seems like a huge step backwards compared to just integrating these AI features natively into products.
"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!"
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.
The quiet before the storm at #GoogleIO Connect Miami 🌴 where we’re demo’ing #ProjectFugu 🐡 in practice with LEGO Education’s use of the Web Serial and the Web Bluetooth APIs for their SPIKE Prime kits, and Salonhub’s web payment solution that uses the WebUSB, Web Serial, Web Bluetooth, Web HID, Window Controls Overlay, Screen Wake Lock, and Idle Detection APIs (and probably more that I’m forgetting now) for their product.
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."
