- Google started the I/O keynote with a Flappy Bird-style game while attendees waited. It's called Infinite Scaler. You basically tap to jump, but the clever part is that an LLM generates a custom stage for you at the end. Brilliant way to keep the audience engaged before the real announcements drop. @firerock31 · Andy Cheng

Very interesting choice by Google to make an animated cartoon around its TPU processing units. It's fascinating because it's the type of ad I could easily see running on TV, though it's a weird choice since it's not a consumer-friendly topic, unless Google wants it to be. Not [im…

Google Omni will focus on stronger genAI for YouTube, and I imagine a focus on YouTube Shorts, which is the fastest growing segment of YouTube's engagement. And I imagine it's not what people want from Shorts! They want humans doing dumb things or sharing tips. May work better

Ask YouTube (similar to Ask Maps) rolling out this summer. Basically AI Overview but for videos (long form and Shorts). Will effectively curate How To videos. But I'm curious how this will impact the way creators think about their SEO strategy on the tagging side.
