Sneaking Early Gemini Features Into Google Home

Gemini for Home still isn’t officially rolled out, but there’s a workaround floating around that lets you access part of the Gemini experience early: the upgraded Gemini voice pack, which is normally tied to the upcoming Home assistant revamp. On your phone, pop this into your browser: googlehome://assistant/voice/setup This deep-link forces the Google Home app to launch the new Voice Setup UI — the same one Google is reserving for the Gemini transition. If you’re using Chrome, pick the second option when it appears. The first one is just a Google search. You might see a “Continue to Home?” prompt,  hit Continue. You’re immediately given a choice of ten new voices, polished, ultra-natural, and clearly modeled after the more expressive Gemini TTS engine: Amaryllis – soft, airy, almost therapeutic Calathea – deeper, grounded Croton – bright, youthful Yarrow – calm, articulate They have that Gemini warmth, the same energy Google used in its AI Studio demos, not the old rob...

Now, let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

If ai is that capable and advanced, with companies like microsoft talking it up into a prophecy, why did my media in OneDrive get flagged as "child porn", with the action of "suspending" my account, with no possibility to appeal their decision until six months is up, as they are just that bold while they talk up the possibilities of ai. The content was downloaded from XNXX, one of the first results when "porn" is typed into the search box. The content was very easily accessible.

If AI is that capable, and companies like Microsoft are just that super sure of its capabilities, why couldn't they use it to advance their one-dimensional decision to pretty much terminate a fifteen-year-old outlook account with nearly one thousand dollars worth of purchases, and call me a pedophile? A couple of the videos had women under 18, and the context of the adult video wasn't like that, as I'm sure people in that industry would agree. It definitely wasn't "child porn". I will also note here that a positive review of an app on the Microsoft Store received 300 downvotes, and counting. I think a few things need fixing with how content can be uploaded to OneDrive.

It's dynamics like this that aren't so advanced. How would this make me look? This is where big tech needs to step back and look at how sure of themselves they have been, and will continue to be.
