The keynote was the most boring for me. I paused it to go to the bathroom, and even forgot that I was watching it.

I think they've lost track of the meaning of IO and its keynotes for users. They should rather have a separate Gemini event like they had a separate Android one last week.

They're collectively losing track of their product verticals because they're too focused on shoving AI down everything. Google Home is a cluster-f, basic things keep failing, and every other announcement from the Google Home VP is about Gemini. It took them years to reduce the frequency at which devices go offline.

Even their sessions seem underwhelming. It's a mixture of "what's new in X" and "AI" this and that.

They tell you that they increase invest from 10-30billion to 160 billion which will all go into compute and research.

This alone is such a crazy time to experience the amount of compute our society is adding globally.

Geminis quality increased again + long running agents. This will hurt so many people who do 'stuff on a computer'.

If this hits production, i probably would prefer to fire 1-2 collegues and get their salary in tokens. And its only a question of time until someone has the same thoughts about me.

Nothing of all of that is underwhelming.

How can we have such extrem opposit viewpoints to this?

People who were playing the drinking game to this are going to be feeling it tomorrow.
