I’m sorry, but that’s a terrible setup for 99% of the people. I don’t want a big loud box near a tv. How would you even control it ? If all you are going to do is launch those apps, most people would be better off with apple tv. You can even install jellyfin there if you have your own home server and stream to it.
The problem with using the for LLMs is that the product itself is questionable in nature No it’s not. It’s imperfect and flawed, but still very useful. All those companies buying enterprise and team plans don’t do it because they expect to get AGI one day, they do it because it’s useful to them now. I see it in my own company, being used for all sorts of stuff, including software development assistance. Usefulness is what counts, not if it sometimes gets something silly wrong which then everyone shouts out from the rooftops.
Yes, there is possibly too much money in it for what it potentially can deliver within 5, 10, 15 years from now in terms of revenue, but even if the technology stopped evolving today and we would just keep getting faster and cheaper outputs, it would still be incredibly useful and valuable. And of course, it’s not stopping.
People here are super negative for no reason. It looks like someone’s garage project, why does there have to be immediately an android app ?
I find the idea of tapping the phones to connect a nice one, it looks like a unique feature, but i also think that’s not enough to make people want to use it. Actually it will serve as both, a reason to use it, and maybe even a stronger one not to.
With services like this, you need some critical mass of people to get it off the ground, and i don’t see how he can achieve that without some strong capital making the push(and yes, it does need the android version for that to happen). The social network market seems quite saturated already - unless you have something amazing your competitor can’t add in a week, i don’t see it happening.
That’s a terrible article though and seems quite click-baity, it’s hard to say what’s going on just based on that.

We’re talking Personal Intelligence, Google’s latest AI upgrade path which lets users opt-in to connecting Google apps to Gemini.
If it’s opt-in, it’s fine, as long as the user knows what exactly they are opting in for.
That does not make sense. If they have the monopoly and it’s on every PC, which are being sold constantly, and it costs money to obtain, then it should at least should have a potential to be highly profitable.
Less money for middle class and more money for investors owning Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic.
Make no mistake about what’s happening, that’s wealth transfer from the bottom to the top.
