> Earlier today, we announced the PaLM API, a new developer offering that makes it easy and safe to experiment with Google’s large language models. Alongside the API, we’re releasing MakerSuite, a tool that lets developers start prototyping quickly and easily. We’ll be making these tools available to select developers through a Private Preview, and stay tuned for our waitlist soon.

> So if you’re a manager onboarding a new employee, Workspace saves you the time and effort involved in writing that first welcome email.

If you really can't be bothered to write the welcome email maybe just don't, rather than throwing some ML generated drivel as the first impression a new hire gets of your management. The direction this is going in is so focused on automating away the hassle of email, with the end state surely being that both sides of an email exchange are ML models churning away at each other.

Can't wait for Google to add ChatGPT-like features to Chrome and their suite of Web Apps so I can finally ditch Microsoft Edge with it's ChatGPT integration. The UI of Edge is god awful. It has the same issue as Explorer in Windows where Microsoft thinks showing you all UI buttons and other UI elements at once is a great idea. Microsoft can't make compelling consumer facing products to save their life.

It’s notable that at multiple points they sell this service as safe

- “easy and safe”

- “all supported by robust safety tools”

when the only things users really care about are quality, latency, and cost. Not sure where their head is at but unless they are oriented around these three things they’re never going to catch up.
