  • Gemini Nano. It's in Pixel Recorder and Gboard but multimodal capabilities are coming soon. It's very limited to a couple phones and not many companies outside of Google have access, but it has been used in production since last year.

    Apple does not have on device AI in production today. Microsoft's "Copilot+PCs" launched less than 2 weeks ago, but are significantly more powerful machines.

  • This feature seems entirely pointless, especially for this device (which should just be called the Pixel Fold 2).

    Since the device is basically square (resolution 2,076 x 2,152) why would you not just rotate 90 degrees to change the side by side to top bottom like we can today?

  • Because people don't understand the difference between using ChatGPT running in a datacenter somewhere via API calls and having a tiny model actually running on device.

    Even quantized down to 4bit the best 7B models barely run locally on the best mobile hardware that exists today. GPT4 is ~250x larger than that 7B model lol

  • Casting from your phone is occasionally convenient but for everyday TV/movie watching it's way more clunky than Android TV. And you can't really browse for something to watch together with someone else on a phone.

  • Yes. I went to my first Google I/O 10 years ago and my second today.

    2014: Introduced Android L, Android Wear, Android TV and Android Auto.

    2024: Gemini Nano... still not publicly available to app developers. 💀

  • Security-wise that is significantly worse. Google Pay generates a random card number per transaction and isn't active when the phone is locked.

    I keep my credit cards in an NFC blocking sleeves because the passive NFC can't be turned off. Someone could literally bump into you and cause a transaction.

  • I'm in California and it's been years since I've been somewhere that didn't have Apple/Google Pay at the register. I don't shop there but Walmart is the only place I know of that doesn't have it (because they track users via credit card).

    The only real annoying thing here is that restaurants still take your card instead of bringing the machine to your table like they do in Canada and Europe.

  • Not to be a dick, but how/why is that useful? It's not a package I need to physically go get or something. It's deposited into an account (super fast if you do your taxes early). This also assumes I'm getting a refund.
