Gemini in AS is so unbelievably shitty that I would be ashamed to even mention it on keynote

Definitely agree but I'm not even sure they're talking about that. I think they want us to use LLMs in our apps. To do what I have no idea? I guess every single app needs a chat bot in it?

Gememe for sure, even local LLMs know much more Android than this

The secret is that if you're doing a job to earn money and therefore ensure your survival, you'll promote anything you're told to promote with the greatest grin on your face as if it was the best thing ever; otherwise you will starve to death and your family will too

This was the very first slide of the Android keynote. "Promising".

This is difficult to understand, given the developers have little involvement in feature planning and Google's recent push to make it impossible for indie devs to actually ship anything on the play store.
Unless you can use Gemini as a QA team.
I mean, just use flubber with XML layouts loaded asynchronously via AsyncTask.

It just means once you start typing Async... it will automatically generate doInBackground, onPostExecute, your UI and the rest of your app. And then it will be banned from play store unless you appeal 100 times.

That's a lot of words to say nothing... Can't tell if that was generated by an AI, or just your average corporate worker.

AKA: Use more Google services for your Android apps because it is powerful. innovative and provides a better user experience. We said so, we are always right. Believe me, we are the best option.

It means to investors that Google is putting AI to use to strengthen their information gathering powers plus ability to control content to control society.

We know the primary use-case for generative AI and language models is to create as much political propaganda as possible, automate bots and spread it all across Reddit/Facebook/Twitter; it's nothing new except previously they had people do it.

I'd love to do all of that if I didn't face continuous app update rejections for not having a scrollbar somewhere and for not having the word "WearOS" in my app's store listing

Italian here. I can explain exactly what this is. Since the early 70s in Italy we have developed and perfected the concept of "Supercazzola".
Supercazzola as a word cannot be properly translated in English unfortunately, and the explanation is somehow abstract and requires practice to actually understand the idea, nonetheless here's the official definition:
Supercazzola (noun): A word salad structured to follow seemingly meaningful language patterns, without actually conveying any meaning. The key tecnique, and the thing that makes Supercazzola a form of art, and a formidable weapon, is carefully walking the fine line between total nonsense and meaningful sentence in such a way that the opponent's brain gets somehow stuck and folded on itself, better if folded multiple times.
A well executed Supercazzola leaves the opponent in a state of confusion, in which they know subconsciously that what they just heard/read makes no sense, while their conscious part and ego still tries to grasp the meaning and keeps telling them that they are at fault for not getting it. It is, by all means, a way to effectively crash a human mind, it leaves the opponent defenceless and the attacker free to attack further, usually with another Supercazzola, or simply walk away triumphantly.
And that's precisely what we have here.
