Obviously experiences vary greatly, but I was on one of the largest AWS orgs and they were quite punitive. People would demand them for perceived slights, then assign reviewers that were tough or on their side. Many of my friends had different experiences, though.

Totally agree. Pixel devices are probably still the best Android offering, but I originally got into the ecosystem because it was less confined and that appears to be changing. While I'm likely not representative of most consumers, I would love it if I could choose both the right device and right software for my particular needs .

Isn’t YouTube premium essentially what you’re describing?

Ha, good call. I tried that, it seemed showed a bunch of examples that seem to leave out the extension name. I wish the tutorial was better.

Where did you see that? It seems this is integrating two extensions together, I'm curious how that would work. I asked it "@gmail summarize my last 5 emails" and that worked decently.

Edit: Actually, I'm not completely certain how the "@<extension>" syntax works. Are the results limited to that app?

I love it.

I've had success with it. The integration with other google services could be a killer feature, but I think it needs some more polish and control. For example, right now it can't add an event to your calendar. I'd think it could at least generate a link to create one. It sort of seems like they're being overly cautious when compared to the way ChatGPT was launched.

The article already states this. The person you were replying to is asking about a different - but similar - case where an employee's last name is "Null".

Obviously it doesn't change anything in the physical world. I think you're just misunderstanding the implication. If this software fulfills the need, individuals would not need to use keyboards that physically create the sound. Whether that would actually happen is a different matter.

Is it special files that begin with a capital letter, version sets, version filter instances, and massive symlink farms?

I'm not going to get a Pixel Tablet, but I really do like the idea of a charging dock speaker.

Do you have a source? I thought this has been thoroughly debunked.

For sure. The Dan Deacon AI concert at the beginning of this was was pretty good (mostly due to Dan being a crazy genius).

Yeah, it's more like "models used, results, example capabilities" and "how we're going to use this responsibly".

I had a OnePlus 1 and later a 3t for an impressively long time. I wish they would go back to the flagship specs / mid-range price model with the build quality they used to have.

> I remember going back in 2015. Biggest thing I remember were the "Smart" fabrics that would be integrated into your clothing for interacting with your devices. It was a cool demo but felt very silly and impractical.

I almost forgot about that! I think I pushed this into the back of my mind along with google glass.

Agreed. It seems like they have the capabilities, but failed on the product side of things, as it seems they do often these days.

I disagree with the GP that they "blew a 7 year lead". They still have a lot of the top industry minds in this area, and it's still early days; ChatGPT was launched less than 6 months ago (which seems crazy). I'm thankful OpenAI is forcing them to stop resting on their laurels. How they will deliver on all of this remains to be seen, but this Google I/O has at least made me hopeful.

That surprised me too - I read that they are restructuring their assistant team to focus more on Bard, so I don't know if that means they are less focused on the core assistant or not. I don't use Google Assistant, but seems like a clear integration point for these new tools. Will be interesting to see what shape that takes.

Maybe going against the grain here, but this was the best Google I/O I've seen in a long time.

In the past, they seemed liked incremental updates on their hardware (which I don't care too much about) or some new products like the pixel watch / glasses (which I probably won't use). I knew there would be a huge focus on AI this year, but I was pleasantly surprised by many of the new features and how quickly these integrations are happening. This is just the tip of the iceberg, I'm excited to see how the industry progresses.

If AI can generate them trivially, maybe that suggests cover letters should not have been that important to begin with.

To me, the main benefit of a cover letter is that it shows the applicant is engaged enough to actually make an application that is specific to a job posting. That is still the case with AI, it just saves everyone creating them a huge amount of work - most of which is completely wasted when the majority of application are thrown in the trash.
