While I get your point, this kind of gives me "Old man yelling at cloud" vibes. Yes, all the AI talk and bullshit bingo became quite annoying at this point, and I also can't wait for it to settle. But AI is here, and it's here to stay. Wether we like it or not. It's like what dotcom was for the internet back then. We'll get through this eventually - with a bubble bursting here and there - but making fun of it with ov…

People thought Pets.com was here to stay as well

chewy.com is literally pets.com and it is thriving.

Remember HN is mocking the capability/technology itself not the ability of specific firms to survive.

Expect all models to increase in price 3x with new releases. They're easing us into the margins they're targeting. Flash 3 wasnt appropriately priced, it was priced to get you used to a certain level of spending, then they'll crank it up and get you used to the next level of spending.

I am aware that it was likely subsidized or at least did not have appropriate margins. But over time, that same capability should become profitable if parameter efficiency and chips improve. For many customer facing use cases outside of coding assistants, optimizing for speed, basic logic/maths and conversational texts matters much more than being able to use 40 tools simultaneously. I would have hoped that Google wo…

Is Gemma 4 31B not enough for your simple tasks?

the vibes are way off. i miss the old days when i/o was all about android and we were all full of optimism

I agree, they used to be exciting but now it's just AI nonsense, and they basically don't change Android now.

Except for taking ID of everyone writing Android apps

can't wait to hear all about the new Agentic workflows you can build with AI and build with agentic agent swarms and build more workflows to do more with Enterprise AI with Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and elevate efficiency with the power of AI and unlock value with AI agents. also can't wait to hear more about AI integrations across Google AI Workspace, like AI Gmail or AI docs (powered by Gemini Enterprise AI)…

Steve Burke, is that you?

"AI Mode" usage is up month over month. Almost like because they forced it upon everyone. Once again, is there any real AI demand?

Only speaking for myself, but I use it a lot, and intentionally. Enough that I set up a search engine shortcut for it in my browser (g type prompt here ). I much prefer it to having to click through links to find things. My last handful of searches were: - Looking up open hours for a local store - Defining words - "postgres select where string has prefix" - "cloudformation read parameter from ssm" Things where I want…

That's crazy. Those AI overviews consistently tell me wrong information.

They claim the AI itself built an OS and demoed Doom running on it. Personally, rather than Doom, I think I'll only truly appreciate the real value of this advancement when flawless real-time YouTube subtitle translation actually becomes a reality.

I don't think you can get much more real-time than what we already have? iOS and Android both do live translations through their respective earbuds at decent latency, you can't get much faster without running into fundamental linguistics limitations.

For instance, you can't translate a Japanese sentence into English until you reach the verb at the end; no amount of latency improvement can overcome the fact that languages have different word orders.

Erm - It is VSCode.

https://antigravity.google/ and https://antigravity.google/product Nowhere on their marketing copy do they own up to that. Even the majority of the UI screenshots intentionally exclude the full UI look and feel and most are plucked out to not even look contextually like they're part of a greater IDE interface. It very much feels like they want to call it their own and not a fork of VS Code. But wait, there's more ...…

The target users for Antigravity don't necessarily know what VS Code is.

Has your AWS bill gone down in the last decade? Despite "efficiency" and chip improvements?

Why would you expect text-generator-as-a-service to be any different?
