Wow, im so glad Google replaced assistant with Gemini. Before I could one touch an icon and set a reminder, appointment, etc. Now, I need to press the Gemini icon, press the tiny ass microphone button, then I can tell it what to do.
Sometimes I wonder if the developers at Google actually use their own products.
Try this #Siri test “Siri set a reminder for June 1 that Amazon Prime expires on June 3”. Tricky because I want the reminder on the first date but the second date has historically confused Siri. Not today though, I just created two reminders like this successfully #apple #ai #assistant

Google is transitioning from Assistant to Gemini, phasing out key features, signaling a major shift in AI strategy and its impact on user experience.Google has announced a significant shift in its AI strategy by transitioning from its long-standing Assistant to the new Gemini platform. #AI #AItrends #Assistant #Gemini #Google #innovation #technology #userexperience
Google is set to retire Google Assistant & gradually replace it with its flagship Gemini AI. The change comes in the midst of a "platform shift" from natural language processing & voice recognition technology to generative AI.

Google announced today that Google Assistant is not long for this world. The company plans to transition most Android devices to Gemini instead. This includes phones, tablets, devices that connect to your phone, & headphones.

Introducing "Firebender"—because who wouldn't want their code edited by an #AI that ignores your files and holds the power to magically spawn #gradle runs? 
It's like having a #coding #assistant that simultaneously does everything and nothing!

I’m HelPInG!!11
I am not an active user of so-called “AI-Assistants”, neither for coding nor writing nor research. I constantly test and evaluate those systems (for my private analyses as well as for my day job) but they don’t really integrate well with my workflow and thinking.
There are many reasons for avoiding those systems: Skill decay especially in abilities like “critical thinking” or “problem solving” comes to mind. The ecological impact of those systems is another aspect that can’t be overlooked if one cares about the world. The way those systems harness and accumulate all data and information they can get without respect or compensation for the creators while charging for their systems. All very true, important and enough to stay away from them.
But today I stumbled over an article on Heise (for the non German-speakers here: Heise is one of the biggest and most reputable tech news sites in Germany) where they evaluated Microsoft’s Copilot and the image they generated for their illustration basically says it better than I ever could:
I live with a kid and 2 cats so I am well aware of how it feels when someone randomly starts typing on your keyboard while you are trying to do something. It’s not exactly helping to say the least.
This image illustrates how I feel those systems interact with my cognitive processes: I am neither a great writer nor a great programmer nor a great analyst or thinker. I am okay at all of those things, I can get some work done. But it’s always a struggle: Programming stuff is hard and annoying. Reading stuff is hard and annoying. Writing stuff is hard and really fucking annoying. But the “hard and annoying” part is necessary for me to fell like i have a grasp on what I am doing.
A lot of stuff I write might be dumb or wrong or badly argued. But I can own all that because I put in some work thinking, reading, talking-to-myselfing and all that to reach some form of conclusion. Sometimes it’s wrong and I get to learn from people giving me input and feedback and comments. But at the point of writing I can stand behind it. I have a certain level of confidence.
“AI” assistants undermine that feeling: They are a random hand that types stuff while I write, some of it horrible, some might even be good but I never know. I never know which statistical effects brought forward a certain turn of phrase or a line of argument. They create distance between me and my thinking and my writing, they alienate the visible output of my work from my work. They alienate me from my writing.
Writing isn’t exactly thinking. Writing is writing. (And coding is a form of writing to me just with more rules.) But writing is a useful tool to help one’s thinking. Thinking towards writing something down can help me create structure in my thoughts. Can help me focus. It also forces me to actually get to some form of conclusion or result – as temporary as that result might be. And assistants disturb that process. And unlike cats or kids they’re not even cute or loveable.

yes i am still using the unsafe-at-any-speed #rabbit #r1. the trick is to only tell it things and ask questions you're fine having submitted into evidence at your future trial.
regardless they have a cosmetics systems now where you get carrots for doing stuff and then you get to operate a machine and get a hat or something and today i got my first *rare* one, which is an #appleVisionPro headset apparently because it's called "Spacial Computer" and it's strapped on.

We did a software experiment today 
I gathered 11 people to test during 2h our #lowcode platform BESSER as part of a #user #study.
During these 2h they had to "play" with the tool. They could #test any aspect of the tool (the #code generators, the web modeling #editor , the #OCL interpreter,...) and report all the issues (bugs but also feaures they felt were missing).
This was also a way to make sure everybody gained some experience with the tooling as some were only familiar with specific components.
I'm very happy with the result. We all learned a lot about what people expected from the tool. And as a result, we opened #70 new #issues 
Our next will be to see how many of these 70 can be automatically fixed with an #AI #assistant 
. We'll first a triaging of those that are #goodfirstissues and start with those.
Later, we'll repeat the experience with the BESSER Agentic Framework
And, honestly, if you're developing a tool, try it with yours. I really think it's one of the actions with better #ROI you could do

Still looking for a functional FOSS speech-driven #assistant that's not Alexa etc.
Seems there's much in development, but I'm not a developer. Tried Leon, but that needs additional code adding to it that I've no clue about.
I just want to verbally look up things and have them read back to me, and maybe integrate some home #automation if possible.
#Mycroft running on a R-Pi 4 was promising, but that seems to have folded...
Not doing very well so far. Anyone else?
i was surprised that there aren't more options, considering the use cases for voice assistants in homes are plentiful.
if you're into #homeAssistant and private automation you will probably like to hear that Cloudfree has the Home Assistant Voice – Preview Edition back in stock for USD
$59.00
i just got one because i have been impatiently waiting for them to be available again after they blew through them so fast last time! long-context conversations with a household #AI is my intended use case.
