  1. @mrzarquon Can't wait. And can't wait for Google to fuck it up again 🙈
    It's just staggering that every single thing I tried (and hated) on #OkGoogle simply just works with #ChatGPT. It just lacks the access to the OS APIs to make the most out of it.

  2. Am I the only one who is surprised that #Siri and #OkGoogle have not been replaced by the #AI alternatives yet? In my head this is the first, most impactful and most easy to improve segment (at least on #Android since their assistant even after years has functionality of a proof-of-concept)

  3. @mos_8502 Suddenly seeing this, imagining it suspended between the forked branches of a "staff",

    the Little One's of the Lost Tribe from Mad Max Beyond ThunderDome made some semblance of post apocalyptic sense to me.

    ...and recontextualizes every standup I've ever attended.

  4. Do you know what's cool? Having the ability to remotely wake up your computer via button or voice command through #Alexa or #OkGoogle. It's easier than you think. You can send it to sleep too!

  5. Obwohl wir sie wohl nie dabei beobachten, denn Spinnen haben einen langsamen Stoffwechsel, machen sie Häufchen. Die Spinnenhäufchen sind matschig wie Vogelkacke und sehen aus wie Farbtupfer, aber eben ganz ganz klein.

    Spinnen, sie sind 50% unheimliche Beine und 50% kleine Poopsknödel.

  6. A friend of mine was trying to start an ambient music for our board game session using #OkGoogle yesterday. And I died inside a little every time it failed and made this simple task a little more inconvenient and longer to process. I can't wait to see (this generation) of this technology to see at #KilledByGoogle.

  7. Ага, перевела стрелки 🤣 молодец ❤️👍

  8. A story of three parts why #OKGoogle is garbage:
    1) OK Google, volume 10
    - Hmm that sound too low, I thought 10 is maximum
    2) OK Google, volume 15
    - Still too low, what is the scale?
    3) OK Google, what is the maximum volume?
    - *panically disconnects the smart speaker from power

  9. The amount of #DogFooding at the #OkGoogle team has to equal exactly zero:

    - Where are you?
    - I am here.

    - Can you whistle?
    - I don't have lips.

    - Can you ring my phone?
    - For that you need to unlock your phone.

    5 points if you *can't* guess what I've been trying to do 🤦‍♂️

  10. A quanto pare i vari #alexa e #okgoogle vengono poco utilizzati, e questa non è per niente una brutta notizia

  11. @kevmarmol I can see the point here.

    However, this functionality can be implemented without sending all the personal data to a huge data collector, generating (and most probably selling) my voice profile, turning my emotions against me, using psychological tricks to get to my money and so forth.

    I'd love to have a #privacy respecting version of #Alexa on my own. #surveillance #Siri #OKGoogle

  15. Amazons digitaler Sprachassistent #Alexa hört ständig mit und Konversationen mit dem Gerät werden als Audio- und Textdateien unbegrenzt gespeichert......denn das #Innenministerium möchte, dass Ermittler Alexa künftig für ihre Arbeit nutzen können.

  17. A question is the most powerful force in the world

    A question is the most powerful force in the world, it can take you anywhere.

    It can start you on an adventure or spark a connection. See where a question can take you.

    What we often miss to realize is, Search is more than just our window onto the world, it is a tool for discovery and connections.

    In the future, questions will be more valuable than answers.

    Let Curiosity rule

    Kids are better when they can explore the world following their curiosities freely building what they care to build, rather than being boxed at school repeating and memorizing facts they don’t care for. We need creative, inquisitive, and persistent children to shape our future. Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, is the secret of creative people.

    Questioning is simply more powerful than answering. Every answer we uncover yields at least two brand new questions. More tools and more answers lead to ever more questions. Thus, even though our knowledge is expanding exponentially, our questions are expanding exponentially faster. In the future, the role of humans, at least for a while, will be to ask questions. To ask a great question will be seen as the mark of an educated person. A great question, ironically, produces not only a good answer, but also more good follow-up questions! A good question is worth a million good answers. If answers indeed become a commodity, questions become the new wealth.

    We often see knowledge as a wall of information: individual pieces of knowledge fit together like bricks within the wall, summarizing what is known on a particular topic. This suggests that the way to advance science is to extend this wall of knowledge, strengthening it and extending it beyond the edges of a text book. A hole in the wall is seen as a “knowledge gap,” and we can “flesh out” existing theories by closing such gaps. And indeed, addressing a specific problem may often lead to knowledge that fits squarely within the confines of a wall of knowledge. But this picture gives a false sense of the structure and rigidity of knowledge and its accumulation. The nature of discoveries is that they are unexpected: they may not fit neatly into our existing edifice of knowledge.

    Research is what I’m doing when I don’t know what I’m doing.

    The framing of a fundamentally new question lies, beyond what we can expect within our frame of knowledge: while answering a question relies upon logic, coming up with a new question often rests on an illogical leap into the unknown—the hallmark of night science(night science, when our minds wander more freely to generate new ideas and find hidden connections). Why, then, does it not seem this way? Why do questions appear secondary to answers? It may be because a new question is so powerful that it transforms our reality. It is certainly easier to imagine science as a logical, step-wise process. But it is the generation of a new question in the unpredictable and wandering process of night science that paves our way towards a discovery, effectively changing our perception of reality.

    If an idea is truly unexpected, then we could not have arrived at it solely through existing questions; instead, we had to navigate through night science, moving from disparate observations to previously unknown questions.

    The questions we ask reveal who we are.
