Notice how they barely say “AI” anymore, instead, saying “Agents”…

AI has bad PR. Besides, they were heading towards “Agents” anyways, the goal was to replace people.

8:31 Totally not going to create a hostile environment at work regarding how strict employers deal with employees that even remotely forget or fail to comply with anything even miniscule.

How’s that X Elite going? – Jensen, probably.

Word AI was mentioned 32 times in a supercut version of the event 😂. These guys are developing things that we have little use for and manipulate us that they’re important. Only wish these resources could be more used in the medical industry

robots that do all of your housework, self driving cars, 2 hour delivery drones, zero ping gaming, think it might be useful to someone

@Riaz-l4gI agree, they could save extra time for random busy CEO but to the masses, not really. We still figuring out how best to use chatbots/LLM. I like DeepMind’s Alphafold for medicine

Soon, we will have Agent AIs doing Computex keynotes to Agents AIs to create Agent AIs

Lotsa vaporware and bold predictions. After the X-Elite fiasco I ain’t buying what Snapdraugr is selling.

Google is still trying to pull things to server side with Chromebooks. Didn’t work out very well

Not really this guy is worse, some of what he’s saying just sounds like someone whose rambling long enough for you to believe what they ‘think’ they’re saying.

What a dull presentation
@fteoOpty64

In six months, the term AI agents. Is going to get stale…… It is because the cloud costs will not be sustainable and Local AI PCs too closely for most!. Not $800 or $1000 PCs, but $4K PCs!!!!… Nope, I will stick to my current one!.
@papoa9299

I’m curious about the price of smartphones optimized for AI agents.

Talking about spreading too thin, lol, while competitors are chipping away Qcom’s core mobile biz.
