It's constantly overloaded and shits the bed. Gemini is so awful, it feels like a GPT-3.5 era model that fails to make basic tool calls.
Maybe I'm on a different plan or something. > It's constantly overloaded and shits the bed Or happen avoid all the downtime. Claude has one 9 of uptime, downtime for me multiple times per week. [1] When it works, it's great. It just doesn't work that often recently. [1] https://status.claude.com/
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.
People have definitely tried. Like Sinofsky when he announced the Surface Laptop several years ago. Or countless founders announcing their stuff. Steve was an absolute natural at the keynote and tech demo. Some people are just born like that, I think.

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.
The keynote was the most boring for me. I paused it to go to the bathroom, and even forgot that I was watching it. I think they've lost track of the meaning of IO and its keynotes for users. They should rather have a separate Gemini event like they had a separate Android one last week. They're collectively losing track of their product verticals because they're too focused on shoving AI down everything. Google Home i…
This alone is such a crazy time to experience the amount of compute our society is adding globally.
Geminis quality increased again + long running agents. This will hurt so many people who do 'stuff on a computer'.
If this hits production, i probably would prefer to fire 1-2 collegues and get their salary in tokens. And its only a question of time until someone has the same thoughts about me.
Nothing of all of that is underwhelming.
How can we have such extrem opposit viewpoints to this?
I was curious and just installed it, and... Antigravity is a literal clone of VSCode. Wtf? Honestly, it's so embarassing. I might write a blog post about this, but I remember falling in love with the art of product watching Google demo Google Wave. Janky sure, ahead-of-its-time maybe, but also visionary and mind-blowing. Here we are almost two decades later and Google is re-releasing something made by Microsoft. The…

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…
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.
It's discouraging to see Google price Gemini 3.5 Flash at 3x the cost of Gemini 3 Flash. I would think that most people that deployed this model in production would have used it for low latency tasks, classification/categorization, customer support or basic RAG-/RAG-style chatbots. Performance on coding benchmarks is nice and all, but where is the "intelligence too cheap to measure"? This new cost point is quite proh…
Gemini 3.5 flash beats Gemini 3.1 pro at all benchmarks.
But it's very competitive and significantly faster
