Communication on Android @ Google.

@joshzoff @TheStalwart This is disingenuous. Frontier models themselves are built on ToS and copyright violations.

@kmgrose Or, you know, just buy a treasury money market fund with a 3.6% yield and no state income taxes as a bonus.

Remix, which uses Nano Banana, our Gemini image model, is now available in Google Messages! You can remix photos using text prompts right in your chat. We're rolling it out starting today.

Power generation + storage at homes will wreck the grid. Future = low cost mini neighborhood grids. http://t.co/6wseii4SYJ

The trend is accelerating: https://t.co/pPZx5YLgKL

Introducing a new standard isn't fast or easy, but this has truly been a milestone year for RCS. A heartfelt 🙏 to our partners and the 1 billion users who helped Google Messages with RCS get to this point.

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

Thanks to the more than 1 billion active users who have enabled RCS in Google Messages! To celebrate, we're introducing new features to Google Messages, including Photomoji. Excited to use one of my dog Jeffree:) https://t.co/4FUF6UbzzC

What a journey it's been. So grateful for this milestone and I'm excited to celebrate this moment with 7 new fun expression features.

Everyone should have secure and modern messaging regardless of what phone they have. Excited to see Apple joining our ongoing work with the GSMA to evolve RCS. 💚+💙 https://t.co/MNsgNA0Qkg

[Android @Android]

We believe everyone deserves to communicate inclusively no matter what phone they have. This is one huge step closer to doing that. Excited for Apple to embrace RCS, the modern industry standard, to help make messaging better for everyone. 💚💙

Excited that RCS messages on @Android will now be fully end-to-end encrypted by default, including group chats.🔒

@Noahpinion Exclusivity is like 99% of what they sell. The teaching is not *that* much better than any other top 100 university. Expanding class sizes is never going to happen.

[Ram @rjandhy]

How is this a thing? 🤯

[Jordan Ellenberg @JSEllenberg]

Gov. Evers, by vetoing the digits "20" and the hyphen from a reference to the 2024-25 academic year, has created an annual school funding increase authorization that persists for more than four hundred years.

Which editor at @nytimes let this though? Stop mixing measurement units. 1 in 8 in Hong Kong = 12.5% which is *lower* than in the US. But doesn't fit the narrative and instead is relying on readers' laziness to do mental math.

[Ram @rjandhy]

So many random financial advisors messaging me on LinkedIn with insane text. WTF does this mean: "My team levers a world class service model and infrastructure, which frees up emotional and intellectual bandwidth and allows you to pursue whatever is most important to you".

[Sanaz @sanazahari]

Over 500 million messages users now enabled with RCS on Android. Time to upgrade all SMS conversations on all devices to this modern and secure standard. #GoogleIO

[Binyamin Appelbaum @BCAppelbaum]

omg just build houses

[Heather Knight @hknightsf]

My latest: A major Northern California city just approved allowing four units on any parcel now slated for one house. That’s a progressive, visionary move to tackle our housing crisis — so of course it wasn’t San Francisco. Will SF follow suit? Unlikely. https://t.co/VcvfY1PTAr
