The freakiest experience I've had with Google's data was a few months ago I was looking for a sushi restaurant in my area. I found one that looked interesting and I thought maybe I had been to it before. I was skimming the details to see and I noticed "You visited here 7 years ago". I clicked on that and it gave me a full location history for that day: the time I left my apartment, the time I picked up my carpool, the time I got to work, when i left work, dropped off my carpool, got home, got to the restaurant, and got home again. All of this from some random Tuesday 7 years ago...
It actually tracks you every day, I got really scared when I found out for the first time :D
So cool
Many people including myself keep the location turned off most of the time. This is for battery saving purposes. Does Maps keep tracking when location is still turned off?
@@89humaiz yea, it does, it tracks aroud random free wifi point and if you have data, but without internet connection it nearly does not track at all and about the battery saving, now display off tracking really dont consume that much power (maps do, because display is on and still moving)
Also everything you’ve ever said to “okay google” is kept forever and you can play them back
That's a lot of data. 😁
That's a lot of data.
@@drink__more__water That's a lot of data
but is it data or data?
That's a lot of data
That's a LOT of data! 😆
In reference to Google helping you pick chocolate / best wines:
We're ceding the discovery of life to algorithms... I think it's the humdrum of looking through a shelf, and the surprises you make from your own choices which really makes a lot of life magical. I think it's a bit of a shame we may be losing the ability to just 'suffer' through and pick out options for ourselves.
It's sad. Especially when he said he needs that feature to find a specific wine. Like, there's still humans in the store you can talk to and who can help you.
but muh progress
@@ross4 but what if you are in a hurry and the store is crowded and the store people are busy helping others.. its nice to have options.. also what if you don't want to talk to a stranger.. not all people are friendly & helpful.. in some stores people are just rude..
Asking for the time is not a dumb thing for visually impaired people. I have a friend who's legally blind, and has some vision when things are really close. Audio stuff for assistants is really helpful for him.
For the businesses that automatically hang up, what if Google made a Google Assistant but for businesses? So Pizza Hut has an AI that would communicate with your AI and your business can get through. Don't know if that's plausible or not but why can't an AI just order through an app anyway. Chipotle has it to where you don't need to speak with anybody and your order is literally on a shelf. Why can't I just say "hey Google order my usual"?
That sounds soooo anti social. But also sooo good. Just no calls only results. Melenial problems? I hate calling for stuff.
@@jdijkstra8115 Here in the 3rd world (Brazil), every restaurant is either on iFood (our Doordash), or accepts orders through WhatsApp. Calling has become such a boomer thing to do.
It's the lack of technological infrastructure that keeps that from happening. Every restaurant has a phone but not a device or software to take orders over the phone. That's also a roundabout version of ordering food online
@@FastSloth87 exactly, same in India, no one calls to businesses anymore.
Also I feel our Delivery system is way way way better and advanced than those in west, where the packages are just left on the porch to be stolen.
With call, otp, sign, leave with neighbour, change date-time of delivery, retry delivery, etc so many things integrated so well.
And that is done by Amazon too, I just don't get how these "ADVANCED" "FIRST WORLD" nations aren't able to figure such basic things yet.
@@MarcSpctr ummmm we have everything you just named. idk where you get your information from but🤣🤣
If they could keep up with Costco's constant rotation/movement of items throughout their warehouse, that would qualify as black magic.
thats A LOTTA -damage- DATA
Lame
The way Google's technology is improving makes me feel awesome at some point and also scary at other points
Loving the waveform clips channel!! I really appreciate having the option of listening to a full episode of the podcast when I have the time, and when I don’t I can come here and watch awesome highlights :)
For me the day I realized how much data Google is collecting was a few years back. I was visiting grandparents with my family about a 2h drive from home. When I looked at my phone there, I had a Google notification about the traffic situation for my way home. By that time I had never used Google maps as navigation, I had never explicitly given a home address, I had literally never searched for any traffic situation and best of all, my phone's GPS was switched off, so it figured out where I was some other way, probably WiFi or data.
It's honestly not even that impressive, but I'll probably never forget that.
I had that with Amazon.
It knew my name and address instantly... Before I signed up.
@Andrew, as far as Google taking individual's images, I now understand why my reviews in Google Maps get so many more views when I take a picture of the inside of a restaurant or business. Google has basically been subtly incentivizing reviewers to take photos indoors at businesses.
Here I was just thinking I was being helpful to people who look at the reviews, it was for Google all along!
I’m actually Eritrean-American, so the fact that they included Tigrinya has me excited.

It is insane to look back on this 10 months later...
UK supermarkets have had 'smart shop' handsets or phone apps for customers for years now. They already enable personalised pricing (which is uncomfortable!), and some apps attempt a shopping list feature, but it feels like the perfect proving ground for an AR system. Knowing and influencing customers' route and attention in the store more directly would surely be really valuable. Perhaps it's beyond even supermarkets' data expertise and they would need to partner with Google or Amazon? It drives me mad when familiar shop layouts change and I can't find what I want.
The ideal smart speaker for me would be one that behaves almost exactly like the computer from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Yeah I know it's not real but shows like Star Trek TNG are good at giving us a window into what future technology could look like.
The computer in TNG pretty much had a human level of reading speech patterns; it could tell the difference between someone pausing to think of what to say next and pausing because they've finished making the request, and on top of that it pretty much never misunderstood a request and could tell the difference between someone requesting its help by saying "computer" and someone just using the word "computer" generally.
Plus it never pretended to be human like a lot of the smart assistants do today.
I use the call screening on my Pixel 6pro for spam calls. Works wonders and saves me the trouble because they always hang up, but.. now those guys are leaving me voicemails. :')
And somehow the language is never English so I don't know how to fall for the scams even if I wanted to.
Profile pic. 🕷️👨💼👉 👈👨💼🕷️
@@james060491 you have good taste 😏
I have the same experience with Google "screen call". Everybody hangs up on it.
It's the best though, everyone that I know or care about will go through with it. I once had a hospital miss-call me (thought I was someone else) and they went through with the call. I like that it deflects scammers but other people normally go through with it.
The problem with speech recognition is that it could be easily used to extract whatever data they want. Its like having a stranger in your house thats always listening.
Oh Finally! The dominant language in Ghana, Twi, is on Google Translate now. Can't wait to try it
Love you guys. You guys are great.
I believe business owners will be adding inside tour of their premises through business profile. This will help customers see the ambiance and businesses with this tours available will start looking genuine businesses!?
Not bad, soon everyone will start using it. Obviously Google will supply tools for it OR independent contractors with 360 cams will be able to do it for them?!
Seeing my language (Assamese) in waveform felt kinda nice ngl
This is less than a year old but it already feels so antiquated with OpenAI
"That's a lot of data" new merch needs to drop.
Yooo I didn't know apple had something like google street and it feels like driving or going on a rollercoaster so cool
I'm here for the Argentina 🇦🇷 representation. Love your content ✌🏻
They added my language, Twi🇬🇭
Google Earth has the 3d stuff long time ago, in some major cities all over the world
All I want is a simple and proper map inside huge malls here in my country :D
All this talk of wanting Google smart home devices to recognize your voice without a hotword and how cool that would be... is scary. I have so much distrust for Google that I've removed my Nest minis and replaced them with HomePods, and even then I don't want the HomePods to anticipate a question. My Apple Watch has "lift to speak" for Siri disabled for this same reason. Companies have too much data on us already.
16:05 - They just need to use automated ordering system on a vendor side. So 2 bots can chat with each other.
didn't expect a Kendrick shout-out here, but I'm glad it happened
he's finally getting the recognition he deserves
5:00 if somehow they could integrate thi into record shops, so if google was able to look over my playlists and highlight what records are in a similar genre in ar inside the shop - its annoying flicking through 200+ records for a single album so it can genuinely be handy and not just a gimmick
funny to watch that, especially the part about ai, during the whole chatgpt period
Panoramic view of a grocery store shelf would be cool buttttt .... Costco's business model doesn't support that
I try asking Google intelligent questions of curiosity and the results are never what I'm talking about, the answers are way off. But then, I get a Google Rewards survey, and they're like, 'Did you just search one of these phrases?' I pick mine and they're like, 'Why did you search this particular phrase?' Um. Cuz I was looking for the answer to my question, or really, what would Google response be to my question? (I really do respond properly and and tell them why I was looking up my question on Google, though)
The other Google Rewards Survey that comes up after I search Google is: Two sets of results from Google and the question is: 'Which of these results is most helpful?' It's unfortunate that in that scenario, you don't get to choose "Neither" as an option.
My mom thought the Google screening was my voice mail box lol she always hung up and called again
If that "data" button is made as a piece of merch, I'll buy ten.
That’s seriously a lot of dada 😳😳😳
Machapobs... Like what is the differnce between your freind/family or help ordering food for you or a machine?
Dang, they added Sanskrit!? That’s amazing
Something tells me the mics on the pixel are always on and listening even when it’s “disabled”. Which probably why it doesn’t have great battery life.
On my google pixel the now playing feature would work when I had the mics off
Now Playing and all that stuff happens locally on the device, which is why Google's custom Tensor chips are such a big deal. It's also good for privacy.
Awesome video 🔥🔥
I think I’m in love with David imel
Short take: Companies doing AI hoover SO MUCH data that it is inconceivable to humans what is being collected and used. It is more on the level of Batman's SONAR or the DC Oracle software, collating _everything_ from billions (yes, with a B) of sources and shoving it through ML to find patterns that humans cannot. In fact, people purposefully hiding from others (like say, from a stalker) are easily identifiable from data as simple as food pictures showing up in given locations over a certain amount of time, or at a pattern of times. This is not hyperbole. Read the Snowden reports if you don't believe me, and then realize that those were released in *2013.*
3:01 If you track new work in these areas (like 2 Minute Papers) you'll see that Google (and others) absolutely can stitch rooms and spaces together using people's photos uploaded (Local Guides, for example, who were volunteers...)
8:41 _"whats the problem with a stranger asking for the weather"_ - First, it's a security hole. The likelihood of it allowing more nefarious data to be leaked is not high, granted. But also imagine you piss off your neighbor, who sets a recording to ask for the weather loudly every 2 minutes...
8:53 _"look to activate_" - error rate is the problem. None of these ML (machine learning) algorithms are 100% accurate. So an error rate is always involved, and that can be hacked. In addition, the error rate drops as processing capability drops, so without the hardware to do difficult ML estimates like face recognition (which has a HORRIBLE accuracy problem historically) it could take too long or be too easy to misidentify.
13:12 SO MUCH FRICKING DATA to make these general ML systems work! And many of these companies are coming up with ethics disclaimers only _because they have been sued into it._
edits: added comments while watching the video
Google Street View Certified Photographers will probably we able to push the inside maps view into tons of restaurants. I’ve been a contributor for years.
Can someone tell me what model is this black windows laptop?
They're using project soli they had said that they were going to put it in all the displays going forward and they're looking a way of making it more battery efficient to bring it back to phones without killing its battery. Expect face unlock to come back either on the 7 or the 8th
And we just got face unlock on the Pixel 7 series, albeit without extra radar sensors.
I just did a stinker in my pantiloons
Lmao as a restuarant worker it was weird getting a phone call from google and funny but we never hung up
Also they weren't implying the glasses translate ASL, they're saying a deaf person can now get subtitles, so even if someone doesn't know asl, they can still talk to the deaf person
K dot is the goat 🐐 lit ep
Drake had that same vibe going on with his "energy" video from 2015
That's a lot of data.
Kendrick Lamar got a shout-out from the Waveform Podcast!!
Imagine a day where Marques gets to interview Kendrick Lamar? That would be sick!!! 👍🏻💯👌🏻🔥🔥🔥
Lame
I would have loved his album even better if he hadn't said those slurs
@@cantbleednow3639 nobody gives a shit what your opinion is about his music. His Music is for Him, and his Generational impact. It doesn’t matter what one person, one thousand people, think…. Vs. The MILLIONS of people that are streaming his music.
@@Chazer45 Refer to my other reply. I’m not the BIGGEST Kendrick fan,,don’t know many songs, don’t know. I’m just not that big of a fan, but if you are trying to deny is cultural & generational impact, you’re an idiot. And you’re the only one in that mindset. He’s clearly changing the world for young black men.
if you don't know how to find something in a shop they literally have attendants who exist for that purpose
Who may be busy, clueless, etc. Or maybe you're listening to a podcast in your headphones and don't want to interrupt it to have a conversation. The usefulness of the feature spans a wide variety of situations.
@@Nippleless_Cage Attendants undergo training, your audio entertainment can wait for 2 minutes.
Maybe it a drone in shape on mosiquitoes .
Google has the power to do a LOT of evil if it wishes to..
Scary. Can’t go Android.
@@macyoung6634 says someone on a Google Platform
@@macyoung6634 Apple is literally the same
I tried to figure out what brand prescription eyeglasses Austin Evans has with Google Lens... no success yet
I’m Ethiopian and was surprised they added Oromo. Hopefully google will add Wolaita as well
That's a lot of data
3:35 us moment🤝
got hard when y'all mentioned Kendrick
Whats is it with marques and weather lol
This channel should be called “Geek bench” 👍🏾
If you know anything about anything……. You would know that the Company that created Geekbench Processes, the app/software that challenges CPU’s & GPU’s for smartphones & other types of computers. My point is….
Geek Bench by name is probably copywritten. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ so even if they liked they name, they couldn’t use it.
Consider me impressed the day they're able to get the basque language translated the most unique and rare country and history that dates back millions of years and survived every attempt to be taken over by , Hitler and Romans etc. The only language that is completely unique and different then every other language in this world..
Twi is ghanaian official language, luganda is for Uganda, and Lingala is for my home DRC CONGO! god bless. Oromo is for ethiopia- a lot of these are african languages this is awesome!
There's setswana too. Spoken in Botswana and south Africa. Exciting
Took me 3:27 to realise this video was 9 months old.
Dude, that's a lot of data.
11:03 after watching The Mighty Boosh I think I know exactly how the moon would answer such a question.
Why would you want a virtual assistant always watching you? What if a hacker gains access
Won’t happen to Apple 🥱🥱🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ iCloud celeb photo leaks is one thing but nobody has even been able to break into Apple software and magically change peoples shit.
My point is other company are lazy and not secure and honestly sometimes even APART of the corruption.
I liked the Kendrick part xD
Imagine they actually get Kendrick on the podcast 😂
I thought that was easy button was a staples thing
Haha that’s a lot of data
This is why I don’t use google as an ecosystem but can u do a video on google and screen reader software for those who are blind
8:24 is that a confession?
Now that’s a lot of DAMAGE! How ´bout a little more!
I’m I the only one that checks the weather the day before?
probably ya and it includes me bro

Explosion of Chat GPT. Ask Mr. Worldwide, quality of maps is still a luxury. There you go sound hashira.🤢😎
Soooo much data
That's a lot of data xd
Hola desde Argentina! 👀 Ahora hace frío (?) ❄️
They all do including apple, they say the don't but they do
Google is hectic
It's a lot of data, but I kinda like giving it. They return the data with benefits I use or am interested in often, like timelines and memories.
Same. I frequently hear people talk about not using some Google product, because they don't want to give them their data. And that's great and all, but to me Google is one of the few companies, where I actually think giving them my data is worth it.
thats alot of data...
Great they added a ton more languages. But still no Mexican Spanish? 💁🏻♂️
Crocs are THE WORST!
I can see atleast 5+ indian languages there in the list
Hmu if anyone finds out what jacket Sundar is wearing
The Google translate on iPhone is not that good. Hoping for a better user experience in an update soon
OK I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN THE WORLD YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT..WHERE IS THE PRIVACY..DEAR GOD!!!!!
Why do you care about that?
That's a lot of Data(2).🙄
They added Assamese 😃
😐😐😐
Fin.
The three person thing is not working for many reasons.
So long as Google makes their privacy policy easy to read through and well formatted in cards rather than paragraphs as well as an easy opt out I’m all for Google making physical hardware more intelligent. And like it asks you before using the service.
Even if you turned mics off, it's still on always and the thought of that is kinda not nice. I mean I don't mind that much but because of that I'm mainly an apple user and I use custom ROM for android(but it's pain in the ass to work, and the lack of convenience and stuff).
