I know I'm going against the grain here, but I'm actually looking forward to the event and plan to watch it :)

Me too, plus what's coming with their new phones and most importantly, how they are adding more and more AI into their cameras. I'm exclusively a Pixel user, so it's super important to me.
My family member works for this team. Could you share what makes you a Pixel fan? Some like customizability, open platform . Some avoid Apple lock in. What draws you to Pixel?
It's pretty simple:

Pixel's are just the best "stock Android" phone there is. So many other Android device makers just slap a crappy UI on top of stock Android that offers no real value. In addition, Pixels always get the latest os updates, and Google recently improved support timeframes so they'll get support for years, on par with iPhones - that was a huge sticking point for years.

There are some other specific features of Pixels that are great:

1. Excellent camera

2. The phone features are really fantastic, like auto "call screening" and "hold for me".

great feedback thanks!
Me too, excited to see what they have planned for Bard and Workspace.
I'm excited to see anything they actually launch for Bard/Workspace, less so about what they have planned. But still excited for it.
The updates to Workspace and Bard integration look great, what did you think?
Thrilled. Of course, I want to see Bard for myself. I pay for OpenAI to use unlimited GPT4 right now. Maybe I end up not having to do that, we'll see, it depends on how it performs. I wasn't impressed previously but with each update I'll give it another try.

I just need to somehow convince my large organization's IT team to enable the Workspace updates in Workspace Labs, which is likely to take some time. That's likely a few months, at least, but not the fault of google!

Same here, I even took the day off, excited for the ML & Cloud tracks
