    I’ll one up you.

    Google’s “principal evangelist” for Gemini did a 2hr presentation for almost 1,000 people at my company on Google Meet a few weeks ago.

    40 mins late due to nobody knowing how to get more than 500 people in a meet.

    He then spent 90 minutes showing everyone how to do shit that literally everyone knows how to do with AI nowadays; touch up old photos of your grandparents, make shitty marketing mascots and logos, etc…

    Here’s an image I took during the presentation. For a laugh, look at the background text:

    A C-Suite exec got impatient and asked when we were going to cover how to use agentic tools and he said “oh I’ve got a little section at the end for that.” Ffs

    Literally nothing useful happened during this meeting and nearly 1,000 employees were idle for no reason. A complete and utter waste of fucking time. Gemini dude didn’t even bother to consider what use cases we might be looking into, he just did a boilerplate ELI5 of AI that would have been outdated in like 2022.

    Absolutely insane.

      Never work with children or animals (or do a live demo)

      ROFL. Thanks for the screencap, that’s priceless.

      Lastly, poor Buc-ee the beaver deserves better.
