Happy Google I/O day!

Hopefully some cool announcements (even though compose is open source and so we're probably aware of any cool things in the pipeline).

My prediction: Gemini Gemini Gemini

[Stylianos Gakis]

This was an incredibly boring keynote. I hope the dev one has something that isn't about Gemini

I’d have to agree there unfortunately, as far as I see it, the tools we have today, and the abstractions around those tools make AI usage as simple as an api integration in most cases (from an integration stand point, I am not reducing it to being simple under the hood lol). It kinda gets tired fast. Very cool tech, but it feels like the same announcement, just iterations of it

[Filip Wiesner]

Agreed, this was so boring. I literally fell asleep for a moment during the keynote. And worst of all, it felt like most of the stuff announced is "Coming Soon." It's not even out now

[Stylianos Gakis]

Oh and of course none of this will be available in Europe anytime in 2024 or possibly 2025 anyway.

[Filip Wiesner]

Yep, I don't even have access to the gemini mobile app that will "soon" replace google assistant

[Stylianos Gakis]

Yup

[Filip Wiesner]

Wait, I thought you were from Sweden. And Swedish is a supported Google Assistant language, right?

[Stylianos Gakis]

🤷‍♂️ I know as much as you know unfortunately 🤷‍♂️

[gildor]

And worst of all, it felt like most of the stuff announced is "Coming Soon." It's not even out now

Well, it's not unique for this I/O, it's always like that, most of stuff is not available, and some stuff will never be available because project is cancelled/transformed

[gildor]

And Swedish is a supported Google Assistant language, right

I think it's not about language, but because of some legal reasons, like Gemini on AS also was not available for some time in Europe

[Colton Idle]

well. the "commitment" to kmp was cool. and i like firebases new logo 😂 (but for real, being able to use a SQL database in firebase will be nice)
besides that... im pretty bummed. i think even more bummed because theres no youtube playlist available for videos yet

[Stylianos Gakis]

Thursday should be the day

[Colton Idle]

but like... didn't some of these sessions happen already? just seems backwards of how most of the past IO's have been. i.e. live stream and watch stuff (besides the keynote) right away. unless im going crazy

[Stylianos Gakis]

Don't know tbh, I think they are happening today actually. Last year everything was pre-recorded. So it's not the same afaiu.

[Colton Idle]

Oh. I could've sworn someone took a photo at I/O of "What's new in android"/"Whats new in android dev tools" and I was jealous that I couldn't watch it live too. lmao

[Stylianos Gakis]

And was that photo of a pre-recorded video? If yes then I am just wrong

[Colton Idle]

lemme check

so I'm assuming this blog post happened as a talk "What's new in jetpack compose"

https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2024/05/whats-new-in-jetpack-compose-at-io-24.html

[Colton Idle]

but anyway. its wednesday. i just wanted to have some io content to watch now. /rant

[Stylianos Gakis]

Yeah looks live. So since they're not live streaming it, and time travel isn't here yet, we'll watch them tomorrow

[Colton Idle]

yeah. so thats my point. they always live streamed (even when I attended in like 2012/2013 or w/e). oh well
