• The camera feature in the @Gemini_Notebook mobile app is so transformative for on-the-go research. I was up in the Sierras working on a new project, and I just took photos of everything, like this museum display. Then I asked for a detailed report of all the info in the image. The text below is what I got back. (I fact-checked it myself and it was 99% accurate -- and some of the text it transcribed is so blurry in the image that it was hard for me to read it.) Next step is to generate documents like this for all the photos I took, and then ask Notebook to highlight all the information that ad…

• One thing that is increasingly driving me crazy: AI made workplace writing cheap, but reading is still expensive! Again and again I see posts that are now twice as long as need be, and more meandering than a walk in the woods. The problem is simply this: the writer thought about what they wanted to say and asked a model to draft it. They did they stop to think: "What do I really want the reader to take away?" Before you ask AI to draft your next email, memo, or Slack update, answer these five questions: 1. Who exactly needs to read this? Is this for your manager? The leadership team? Your who…
