Yep. They are shutting down that tool Dec 31, 2025, but it’s been extended before.

And I believe someone figured out a way to open source the tool.

s/o to the people who sent me literal death threats when I correctly called the death of Stadia.

Glad all those controllers aren’t becoming e-waste.

Google Gemini was tasked to hallucinate the front page of Hacker News on December 9, 2035. Highlighted is an entry that links to killedbygoogle.com with the headline, “Google Kills Gemini Cloud Services.”

Gemini is predicting Google will announce its death 10 years from now.

That’s a very optimistic timeline.

It’s a Christmas miracle.

They aren’t keeping keep.

Google announced a new policy of deleting inactive accounts of people who don’t login a few years ago.

For those unaware, Google Chrome ran an ad called “Dear Sophie” where they encouraged this user behavior.

Screenshot of a TikTok video where a mother is looking very sad. Text overlayed on the screenshot reads: “I’m so sad. It’s my oldest daughter’s 10th birthday. When she was born, my husband created an email for her and he has been writing emails to her. He went to write her an email today and the account was deleted. 10 years of memories. Google, help. He is heartbroken.”

We’re going to be seeing a lot of these over the next year, btw.
