Everything happening at Google’s I/O developer conference 2024
Google’s AI bets are on the table.

- You get the idea.
This AI craze propped a lot of companies to new historical highs. It is of course logical that most companies would like to jump on that bandwagon.
Right now we are on the honeymoon period of AI and I can only guess we are fast approaching the limits of what the AI can do.
Some of this AI stuff could make for optional time-saving tools. I'm pessimistic because Google has a reputation for killing features and offering inadequate replacements. They'd rather change the default than let users have options.

I can't describe how much that can go fuck itself.
This sure felt a lot like I/O 2023 Part 2.
I was hoping for hardware announcements. Pixel Buds Pro 2 or a new nest hub.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The company is showing off key products like its flagship Gemini AI model at the event, which must prove itself as a worthy contender against OpenAI’s GPT-4 and its new and faster iteration, GPT-4o.
The company’s I/O event this year was kicked off by Marc Rebillet — an artist known in online spaces for pairing improvised electronic tracks with amusing (and typically loud) vocals.
Based on the user’s prompt, the AI model will now research publicly available information as well as tap into specific details like flight times and hotel bookings to work up a custom, multiday vacation itinerary “in a matter of seconds.”
Part of Google’s vision at its I/O developer conference this year has involved transforming its Gemini AI chatbot into more of a digital assistant that specializes in dealing with our day-to-day tedium.
In an incredibly impressive demo video that Hassabis swears is not faked or doctored in any way, an Astra user in Google’s London office asks the system to identify a part of a speaker, find their missing glasses, review code, and more.
The company announced at its I/O developer conference today that, starting next month, Workspace and Google One AI Premium subscribers will be able to use Gemini to summarize emails for them inside the Gmail app.
