It's a fiefdom now.

The serfs have had to give up their grain to the master.

Yeah.

Well, your geolocation, when your computer is portable, is really important.

So maps becomes very interesting as a point of departure for the sort of creation of things like Notebook LM's briefing doc about such and such a place where you can ask Gemini,

you know, a question about that.

And it'll kind of use those tools in the background to generate something that's really interesting and informative.

You're getting your own sort of interpretive guide, you know, when you're traveling around, but also like Hux, right?

Hux is a notebook LM kind of variant that gives you a voice tour guide about your own inbox and your day.

Now imagine it being integrated with maps so that you can do that.

I wanted to just point out something about file search, though, that you were talking about just a moment ago.

It's for the Gemini API.

So it's not something that you can use through AI Studio or anything like that at this point.

It's just an API.

And it's important for someone who's going to be building an application that could use vector search in a RAG system.

And you can just upload any kind of file pretty much.

And the important point there is, yeah, you have to pay for the embedding if you're going to use vector search.

But it's free storage.

Now, the question is, how much free storage do they give you?

Because they're not going to give you a terabyte of storage, right?
