cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-04 23:14:00

Maybe Google Gemini needs to take some PTO. The company's large language AI model, which is increasingly spreading across Google's many services and products, has been saying some things lately that are leading users to worry: Does Gemini have low self esteem? A series of posts on social media showing some of the self-critical responses Gemini has given users show a disturbing pattern. For instance, in one screenshot, Gemini admits it can't solve a coding problem and concludes, "I have failed.

Is Google TV in trouble? A new report reveals concerning details

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-05 22:48:58

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is reportedly having trouble securing revenue from its Google TV platform. It has now resorted to lowering its commissions on ad spaces to incentivize advertisers. Google is facing heat from competitors such as Samsung’s Tizen, LG’s WebOS, Roku, and Amazon’s Fire OS in the US. Back in 2020, Google merged its Android TV and Chromecast efforts and launched a Google TV interface aimed at increasing discovery. While its focus to promote relevant c

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority TL;DR Some Wear OS watches are starting to show Google Wallet photo passes with patterns like QR codes or barcodes. Standard photo-only passes still don’t appear, based on our testing. This may be an early test of limited support for scannable custom passes on smartwatches.

Last year, Google surprised online video publishers with some stunning news: the company, which now generates over a quarter trillion dollars with advertising every year, effectively admitted that it isn’t very good at selling ads for its own smart TV platform, Google TV. The issue at heart: Google has long required publishers to share a percentage of their ad inventory to be on Google TV. It’s a common industry practice.
