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.

Watching these bland presentations with choreographed delivery and reading off a prompt off-screen (I'm not completely sure they're doing this, but it looks like it) makes me appreciate Steve Jobs presentations from the past so much more. Steve really had product presentations down. I wish people at least tried to copy him.

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.

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

I've accidentally clicked ai mode probably 3+ times a week recently, so that's some real good metrics ;)

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)…

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

Theres no way Google won't win the AI race $INTC and $GOOG are good buys right now!

Funny how you are saying this now, but not 2 to 3 years [0] ago when OpenAI and Microsoft was eating Google's lunch and even 9 months ago when everyone on this site thought Intel was "dying". [1]

Now you want to buy Intel and Google just as I am about to sell it you at 9-10x and at a 3x multiple?

Yeah I actually use AI mode a fair bit. It has access to Google's index so it can be quite a good search engine interface when the normal one doesn't work (which is quite often).

Why would I want to vibe code a "fully functional operating system"?

Why wouldn’t you want to?

Because it would be sponsored by anthropic/google/openai? You cannot do it (typically) without paying for the tokens they only can offer. Programming used to be free, but slowly, we need to pay for every single line of code. It's sickening

I'm Gen Z..

and I'm just regurgitating what Google sends me via email and funny things like renaming Vertex AI to "Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform" (not a joke) even though Vertex is mostly used for inference, e.g. Claude via gcloud or fine tuning models etc.

and I use Claude code every day, so I'm not like completely dismissing AI/agentic stuff.
