I got Pixel Studio, Google’s AI image generation tool on the Pixel 9, to come up with some questionable things. But they’re nothing like what the folks over at Digital Trends got out of it, which feature popular cartoon characters firing AK47s, drunk driving, and donning Nazi uniforms. Google seems to have clamped down on some of these, but oof, not a good look.

“Everything we’ve shown you is launching in the next few weeks.” Osterloh is wrapping things up and tells us that Project Astra is going to live in Gemini Live. Apps will integrate with Gemini Live, too, and he tells us to “stay tuned.”

We’re getting a live demo of the Buds Pro 2 and Gemini Live, which led into an awkward introduction for YouTuber Mark Rober.

Google Tensor A1 is inside the new Pixel Buds Pro 2 to handle processing for noise cancellation. The buds are smaller and lighter, too, and they’re the first earbuds to let you access Gemini directly.

There’s a bigger one, and the screens are brighter on both sizes. Lots of new running features, a readiness score, and a new “Morning Brief” from Fitbit. Also, loss of pulse detection. Cue the video that will trigger my health anxiety.
