Episode notes
Google's Big AI Product Swing
- Google launched Disco, a Gemini-powered browser tool that turns tabs into web apps on demand.
- Jaden Schaefer sees this as Google swinging big and regaining momentum in AI product innovation.
Studying Example: 3D Solar System App
- Jaden describes Disco suggesting an app to visualize studying topics like a 3D solar system model.
- He questions the compute cost and redundancy of many people generating similar single-use apps.
Code Commoditized, Apps Become Disposable
- Jaden argues code is becoming commoditized because models can quickly generate tools that once took long development cycles.
- He warns this creates many disposable, single-use apps akin to single-use plastic.
