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.

The article is a steaming pile of garbage. I was ready to hate on Waymo, but the article is conflating what happened in the US with whatever might or might not happen in the UK.
It's pretty obvious the AVs need to observe the traffic rules, otherwise they will be fined into oblivion and have their licence revoked. The click bait worked.

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.

openrouter provides chat interface, don't see one here

seems only to be an API gateway, you get API key from them, and they will reroute to the model of your choice, with a 5.5% markup on the price

not saying it's of no benefit to anyone, just observing the major first difference i'm noticing

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.

Same with boox, it even lets me use AI without needing to register. Love the freedom.

somebody did not read the article

And we all thought Hitler was nuts. This is a whole new level of unhinged and dangerous.

It has voice control and some sort of remote camera features you access through the app. I guess it makes sense for instance when on a vacation, you can inspect the house this way.
