In my humble opinion Google isn't solving new problems anymore. They created great company thanks to solving very important problem: people couldn't find right things on the Internet.

Now it is all about ads and reducing number of taps required to order a pizza. The keynote is just boring.

Yea - I hear ya. Self driving cars, conversational AIs, VR hardware - same old same old.

I agree with self driving cars. I almost forgot about them watching this keynote.

Self driving cars, sure. A world changing project. The rest, I couldn't be more bored. Thanks for saving me from typing "cute dog". Ughh.

Mm, yes, hoover up that Google marketing hype and spew it back out here to create the echo chamber necessary to convince people these technologies are just around the corner.

> conversational AIs

Because I always wanted a chat app that I could talk to AI with, not my actual real life friends, as they're too busy not giving a fuck at another $chatapp from Google and are still mad at me at the last two I was trying to make them use.

Nah, I would very much appreciate an AI I could talk to. But none is on the horizon yet - I'm still waiting until one will be able to hold the conversation and have something interesting/relevant to say.

It's not over yet :)

Immortality, self-driving cars, internet through balloons, google fiber, modular smartphones (ara), flying wind turbines, smart contact lenses, disease detecting pills.

You're confusing them with Apple ;)
