Be sure to check out Deepti Gandluri's and Austin Eng's talk on #WebAssembly and #WebGPU enhancements for faster Web AI: https://youtu.be/VYJZGa9m34w?si=_PPuJQJ9Zor5AyID. Running Al inference directly on client machines reduces latency, improves privacy by keeping all data on the client, and saves server costs. To accelerate these workloads, #Wasm and WebGPU are evolving to incorporate new low-level primitives. #GoogleIO
Our #GoogleIO talk is finally online 🎉! Thomas Nattestad and I share how Goodnotes ported their award-winning iPad app to the Web thanks to #WebAssembly, and SwiftWasm specifically. Next, we give an overview of how #Wasm is being used by various product teams at Google, including Google Photos, Sheets, Meet, and others. Lastly, I show how C++ image filters from a fictitious iOS and Android app called Delayedgram (🥁) can be ported to the Web and the filter code be shared!
What's new in view transitions? (Google I/O 2024 update)
In this video I introduce you to cross-document view transitions for MPA along with two improvements that allow you to more easily work with view transitions in general.
:cwy: I thought Google deepfaked Weird Al, but the truth turned out to be far more disturbing.
"Rebillet has over 2 million followers on both YouTube and TikTok, where he’s best known for his viral “Night Time Bitch” sound clip and songs in which he screams at people to get out of bed while wearing a bathrobe."
After watching OpenAI's presentation and, even more, an excerpt from Google's presentation yesterday, I asked myself: is this AI, according to the big tech companies (especially Google - for OpenAI it's their core business, so I understand their perspective), truly what users want and need, or is it just another method to lock people into using their technologies, which are not easily self-hostable?
I'm not arguing for or against it, but I noticed that (almost) the entire Google I/O yesterday was focused on this...
Proud moment. Just learned about a new web feature at #GoogleIO. So I searched @cloudfour's Slack to see if anyone has talked about it. thought maybe I would find someone linking to an article about it.
Instead, I found code from a current project that is already using the new feature and using it correctly. :)
What a horrible time to be an Android developer ffs. I wish I could forget everything I know about Android and iOS and learn something different. Fuck all this AI crap. #GoogleIO
Google I/O wrapped up, and I have a LOT of thoughts. Shot a quick reaction video on the keynote here https://somegadgetguy.com/b/455
Some really interesting AI tools are coming, but will Gemini search continue hurting website traffic?
I remember a time when I was excited about #GoogleIO, but for a few years now, it’s always felt like a drawn out death rattle with repeating information, cringe jokes and performances, and innovation that feels like it’s trying very hard to convince people of its usefulness when actually it’s just empty promises. 😅
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."
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":
com.google.android.apps.miphone.aiai.app.wallpapereffects.AiAiWallpaperEffectsGenerationService
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".
