If you thought burnout in a job was bad, try burning out trying to find one. Is it possible to quit unemployment?

thekenyeung,

@ChrisPirillo I feel this.

thekenyeung,

Five minutes people!

thekenyeung,

livestream update: Countdown has been replaced with pre-show from musician Dan Deacon...using generative AI to entertain the crowd.

thekenyeung,

Fun lil topical joke from musician Dan Deacon: "In the streets, it's Google Maps, but in the sheets, it's Google Sheets"

Derp.

thekenyeung,

"Let's just imagine how much better the world can be if birds had lips and that the bird invited us to live with it..."

We're really tripping on something early in the morning...

thekenyeung,

thekenyeung,

Just a little over 30 minutes until begins.

thekenyeung,

"Don't pay attention to the fact that the bird has lips...the bird has lips..."

thekenyeung,

Will the livestream show pre-keynote crowd reaction shots like before, with attendees cheering and holding up their dev group signs?

thekenyeung,

The countdown to the keynote is back on.

LESS THAN 10 MINUTES!

thekenyeung,

"Our goal is to make AI helpful to everyone"

thekenyeung,

1 minute!

thekenyeung,

We're at an inflection point. We can make AI more helpful for everybody. We've been applying AI to make our products dramatically better...

thekenyeung,

Dan Deacon: "I used Bard to ask how I could guide the visual representation for this event..."

thekenyeung,

will once again have a paired-down audience. It's only one day, not three. IIRC this is the first time since the pandemic Google has brought in live audience made up of non-Googlers?

thekenyeung,

And here we go!

Opening hype video about how Google is helping people discover information, searching for answers, editing photos, watching videos, etc.

And yes, "new breakthroughs in AI"

thekenyeung,

We're T-minus 1 hour before the keynote.

thekenyeung,

Sundar Pichai is now on stage at

thekenyeung,

And a bird with lips mascot enters the stage...

Seriously, you'd think this is something you'd see at the end of "Last Week Tonight"

What is going on this early in the morning?

image/png

thekenyeung,

First up is talking about generative with Gmail —Pichai is recapping smart replies, smart compose.

Introducing "help me write": AI can read your email and produce replies. EG if your flight is canceled, "Help me write" can create a message that could dramatically help get you a refund.

Will start rolling out with Workspace updates.

thekenyeung,

opening act: Musician Dan Deacon talking about how he worked with Google to use in his music-making.

Should I liveblog #googleio2023 news on Mastodon? Or is Twitter still "the place"?

Great piece by @film_girl on the history of Messenger for @inversedotcom. Wow, is this a throwback...
