Reminds me of "A a a a a Very Good Song" , a silent track designed to keep some random song starting with "a" from auto-playing when iTunes/Music/CarPlay opens: https://music.apple.com/us/album/a-a-a-a-a-very-good-song-si...

#52My fucking Google Home can't even figure out how to play the auto playlist "My Likes" on YouTube Music. Previously, I could say "Play my Thumbs Up" and it could do so on Google Play Music. It keeps playing a song called "My Likes". Jesus fucking Christ, Google. If I say "Play my My Likes playlist" something random happens. Do these guys even use their product? I'm just glad this album didn't come out before the force…
Most "Ok Google" assistance feels like a gimmick to me, but here's something very simple I'd love to have working:
I watch a lot of YouTube on my phone when cooking, I even built a cardboard stand for my phone for this reason. What I want is for YT to respond to these voice commands:
- Pause video.
- Play video.
- Rewind 10 seconds.
- Skip the (expletive) ad Sadly, this doesn't work. And it's the only voice assistance I really need :(

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
I have 5 Google Home devices (one Max, two regulars, and two minis) and I'm dreading the day Google Home shows up on killedbygoogle.com.
Apparently the new brand for speakers and displays with Google Assistant is now "Nest" -- as far as I can tell the Nest Mini and Nest Hub are the same hardware (?) as the Google Home Mini and the Google Home Hub. (And the "Nest Audio" is the new version of what was the original "Google Home".)
If you view the “Nest” brand as a thermostat brand, it doesn’t make sense. But if you view it as a “smart home” brand, it makes sense. However, rebranding to a different product name never makes much sense. It just confuses the public.

It keeps playing a song called "My Likes" Meanwhile, here in Siri Land... Me: Hey, Siri, add "tomatoes" to my Groceries list. Siri: OK, Reapreducer. Which list should I add it to? Me: Groceries. Siri: OK, Reapreducer. Which list should I add it to? Me: Groceries. Siri: OK, Reapreducer. Which list should I add it to? Me: Groceries. Siri: OK, Reapreducer. Which list should I add it to?

Siri is hit and miss, but setting timers (for cooking) always works. > Hey Siri, set a timer for 8 minutes. > Ok. 8 minutes and counting.
Siri is the world's most powerful AI-timer-setter.

#56YouTube Music is so bad. Comically bad.
I had an amazing indie music discovery service in Google Play Music. I found so many fantastic underplayed artists, and it helped me explore all the small music venues in my city. I've got a wall full of signed albums from artists I discovered with Google Play Music.
YouTube music recommends Britney Spears. It's so awfully wrong about my tastes.
It also randomly inserts YouTube parody videos into my playlist. Why the hell would I want to listen to stuff like this https://youtu.be/-5jWtz3rzco ?
I hate Google so much now. They're like evil 90's Microsoft, but incompetent. They've got their ad monopoly / web destruction engine to sustain them, but they're Dilbert Pointy Haired Boss bad with everything else.
No gamers will be surprised when Stadia gets canned.
It'll be hilarious when they decide to shutter GCP. Remember when it leaked that they were internally threatening to defund it if they couldn't hit growth targets? Imagine all their B2B relationships getting hit as hard as their consumers do.

My Google Assistant (on Sonos) will somehow always play the wrong version of the song. Ask for War Pigs? Here’s the live version Ask for a Come Sail Away? Here’s a terrible cover Ask for Magic Stick? Here’s an instrumental I swear it just picks the version of the song that pays the least royalties and plays that instead of the right one...

I am sure they're working on improving it. We've not yet reached late stage capitalism with voice assistants.

#60Vaguely reminiscent of when Marco V released a track called "C:\ del *.mp3"[0] out of frustration towards mp3 rips. Still amusing to me that he didn't quite get the command right. [0] https://www.discogs.com/MarcoV-Cdelmp3-Solarize/release/1334...
The other day a song called S01E02.Return.Of.The.Arsonist.720p.HDTV.x264 by Blood Command appeared in my Spotify Discover Weekly. I thought someone messed up, but no...that's the name of song!
