Honestly getting tired of this knee jerk anti-AI stance here on HN. We’re talking about the most revolutionary technology in history that’s going to change every facet of our lives. It’s getting toxic, now we have people getting booed at graduations for just mentioning AI. There will be a transition but it’s not the end of the world. Don’t cling to the past, look forward to the future.

the most revolutionary technology in history Fire. Electricity. The wheel. The printing press. Assembly lines. Flight. The computer. Space exploration. Anyone else care to contribute?

Wireless communication. Antibiotics. Electric motors. Lightbulbs.

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.

I'd enjoy someone copying Steve Wozniak even more.

I'm proud to announce this little blue box, with a single button on it. You press it and you get all the value you can get out of AI. Let's press it.

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)…

I get that. but what kind of a future are we talking about? unlike previous advances, I'm not really that optimistic here.

Is Antigravity CLI replacing Gemini CLI?

Looks like it. Found this: > On June 18, 2026, Gemini CLI and Gemini Code Assist IDE extensions will stop serving requests for Google AI Pro and Ultra, as well as those using it free of charge using Gemini Code Assist for individuals. https://developers.googleblog.com/an-important-update-transi...

Another resident on Google graveyard then...

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.

> They claim the AI itself built an OS and demoed Doom running on it. Doom ran on MS-DOS, which - by modern standards - provided a shockingly minimal set of abstractions for programs. I think about the only thing you need to run Doom is the int 21h "API" to access the FAT filesystem and perform keyboard I/O. Note that MS-DOS did not provide facilities such as memory virtualization / management, process management, vi…

Wake me when the AI rewrites Doom completely from a single prompt.

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

In fairness I don't think that's Google's fault. Circa 2009 we were in a Cambrian explosion of possibility with mobile. These days the tech is just... fine.

Remember the good ol' days when we fully owned and controlled our devices? I want that back!

I am far from young, but I fail to see the appeal to this prelapsarian age when we controlled our devices.

In no uncertain ways, when things come to technogy things are so much better. Linux is awesome nowadays, self hosting is cheap and easy to get into, etc.

How exactly are things worse now in regards to controlling your own devices?

People thought Pets.com was here to stay as well

The analogy doesn't work at all. Pets is a single small company. The dot-com boom largely survived and was profoundly important. I just.. I don't know the mental model of the people who speak like this. What is the point you are trying to make..

Ok, then people thought Enron was here to stay, until it wasn't. Life is ephemeral.
