Google’s Gemini: The AI Assistant Designed for Everyone, Everywhere

At this year’s Google I/O in Mountain View, one message stood out with unmistakable clarity: artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool you use; it is becoming the layer that connects everything you do. Google’s Gemini project represents this shift, emerging not as a single product, but as an ecosystem-wide AI assistant that anticipates user needs, understands context, and works seamlessly across apps, devices, and tasks.

so what WOULD the hiding-his-face outfit starline uses be?

and would he continue to use a disguise as sonic's sponsor?

Surge is currently choking Starline

Amy Rose: SURGE, DON'T!

Surge has let go of Starline, reluctantly

Starline: Ha... hahaha... I guess you really have gone soft, Su- GCK

Amy Rose, currently strangling Starline: Your technique is atrocious.

Surge, hand deep in a popcorn bowl: 😁

I take it all 12 of you that closely follow me have noticed my relative absence...I am alive, and I am (mostly) okay. Work is doing its best to slowly kill me thru attrition. Needless to say, I may be on here less as work keeps this pace. But I shall never surrender! I continue to work on new videos and cruise the meme rivers for content whenever I can, and rest assured...I'm not done yet.

Til we meet again, comrades. Communism to all, and to all a good night.

One day

One day I hope people realize that Kitsunami already "broke through his programming" back by issue #56 of Idw Sonic

He had an entire mini arc where he dealt with being without Surge for the first time, and in the real world. He met Sonic and his friends directly, tried to work out what his purpose would be without Surge in his life (gave it a shot trying to devote himself to Sonic, seeing him as the next best thing after Surge). And when it was all said and done, he decided after experiencing more that at Surge's side is where he wanted to be.

As of the recent IDW issues, Kit isn't sticking with Surge "because of programming" and "because he just needs for other characters to friend him and turn him into a better person". He is at her side because he wants to be. He protects her and aids her because he cares about her, not just because he's serving the strongest guy in the room. And he's not interacting with others because he's decided not to give a shit about anyone else other than Surge (because from his pov, even the "good guys" are fake. From his pov, everyone is someone trying to lie and manipulate their way into pulling him and Surge to their side)

Kit already has decided what he wants to do with his life. And he decided it on his own. Not because of anyone else's wants or wishes. That's the whole point of his speech at the end of #56.

He's burying whatever his and Surge's past is and moving forward with his conviction to be with Surge because it's what he wants.

OOUGH WOW. I found some of my OLD artwork (and by old I mean when I first got into IDW Sonic) and I’m honestly impressed to see how far I’ve come in such a short time.

Here’s to more progress in a few more months! 🍷✨

How Does Google Beam Work? Insights from Google I/O 2025

At Google I/O 2025, Google publicly revealed some of their most ambitious projects to date, embracing the phrase involved with their presentations - - chiefly the Google Beam Project. The Beam Project, touted as the next step beyond Project Starline, intends to transform our virtual interactions by developing virtual experiences in immersive, life-like 3D video conferencing.

Let's explore how the Beam Project is positioned to alter the landscape of digital interaction and what the future of communication could look like.

What Is the Google Beam Project?

Google Beam is an evolving platform for communication that redefines 3D video and communication. This is a platform that has been presented as an idea in previous I/O events involving early concepts and the presentation of video calls and 3D rendering. Still, interest peaked in the I/O'25 Google Beam sessions, where several developers demonstrated the real-time 3D rendering of videos and discussed the AI enhancements over the next few years to the platform.

Google Beam is not like a video call or live stream. Google Beam will use light-field capture, depth sensors, and spatial audio, to create the presence of a person with remarkable fidelity. It is not a movie or video, it is as if the person is in the room with you.

From Starline to Beam: The Evolution

Project Starline was a launch pad for this change, giving us a proof of concept for authentic virtual presence. Now the company is making that concept even more scalable with Google Beam. With an update at Google I/O 2025, the company revealed that Google Beam would have higher image fidelity, less latency, and be compatible with far more devices, which brings us closer to the future of 3D video conferencing. 

It's not just about improving visuals, but about feeling the kind of emotional connection that typical video lacks.

Real-World Applications of Google 3D Video

Whether it's remote work, health consultations, or long-distance learning, Google 3D video using Beam will transform a variety of industries. The Google I/O demos displayed examples of families connecting across continents or doctors who were able to have virtual appointments with the depth and presence of an actual visit.

With Beam's natural depth and spatial reality, users do not just see, but are connected.

Google Beam Update: What’s New in I/O'25?

The Google Beam update announced at Google I/O 2025 brings several key advancements:

Improved AI rendering for more accurate facial expressions

Lower bandwidth usage without compromising quality

Wider hardware support for future device integration

These updates point to Google’s intent to bring the Beam Project into real-world applications soon — beyond just enterprise use, and possibly to consumer-level devices.

Final Thoughts: Why Google Beam Matters

As virtual communication becomes a norm of everyday life, tools like Google Beam are necessary to make the connectivity more powerful. The work merging the Starline foundation and the newest developments in Google 3D video technology is initiating a future of immersive digital communication.

In looking at the stream from Google I/O 2025, it's clear Beam is not just a tech demo, it's a vision for the future of human connection.

Info About "Neon Angel's" Series

The "Neon Angel's" series is about 5 girls and their adventures on earth and another planet called "Cosmo".

The story starts from a new year’s eve, the girls thinking that this will be like every other year and this will be the last year if their school life, them being on 10th grade. But little did they know, this year will be anything but normal. Cause after a few days, Lea [the leader and the "Main" MC] finds a page of her "Missing" father’s diary telling that there is a lab under the school. She and her friends snick's into the school and the lab that night, hoping that they would find Something. And they did. They found a set of gray watches, which they took home. They thought that they'll come back the next day. But the next day was so wacky that they didn't have the time to go back.

And that's how the rabbit hole of "Neon Angel's" starts. This series alone is divided into three series.

First one being = Neon Angel's "Legend of Cosmo" Second one is = Neon Angel's "Starlin Force" Last one being = Neon Angel's "Project Neon"

Each series having three seasons and each seasons having 30 episodes.

Other than the main series, there will be sequel named "Legend of Cosmo" and spine-off serieses, feathering not only your favorite main characters but also your favorite background characters. And to top it all off, there will be a series called "Lost Memories" feathering the mentioned moments in the og series.

So stay tuned for the show. Cause there is more to the story then what first meets the eyes.
