Well, you know, when you have your agent recording the entire thing and transcribing it for you, you can just sort of glance up every few seconds and see if a news event is happening.

It's actually really amazing the future we're living in.

This is the promise of AGI.

Soon we will be able to play Bellatro wherever we are.

You can pay attention to nothing and be fine.

Welcome to the future.

And this is Hard Fork.

This week, it's our annual field trip to Google I.O.

We have all the big news, plus our conversation with Google CEO Sundar Pichai.

And then some other highlights from the week with our system update.

You know, I told that to install last night, but it didn't.

Well, Kevin, the keynote just wrapped up here at I.O.

2026.

What did you think?

What did they announce that caught your eye?

I mean, they...

have said that they just made the biggest change to search in 25 years.

I think time will tell if that is truly as significant a change as they're suggesting, because when we saw it in the demos, it just looked like the box grows if you type more into it.

But they're also saying that by this summer, they're going to be generating custom user interfaces based on your query and a bunch of other stuff.

I think like a through line through everything that they discussed here was coming this summer or coming to a group of trusted testers.
