Just watching some YouTube on my tablet and this is the second time AI has appeared by default. I hate Google
When Chrome 147 launches against an eligible profile, the omnibox - the address bar at the top of the window, the most visible piece of real estate in the entire browser - renders an “AI Mode” pill to the right of the URL field. A reasonable user, seeing “AI Mode” sitting in their browser’s most prominent UI element in 2026, with the well-publicised existence of on-device LLMs in Chrome and a 4 GB Gemini Nano binary already silently installed on their disk, is going to draw what feels like an obvious inference - that the visible AI Mode is using the on-device model, that their queries stay on the device, that the local model is what powers the local-looking surface.
Every part of that inference is wrong. The AI Mode pill in the Chrome 147 omnibox is a cloud-backed Search Generative Experience surface - every query the user types into it is sent over the network to Google’s servers for processing by Google’s hosted models. The on-device Nano model is not invoked by the AI Mode UI flow at all. They are entirely separate code paths - the most visible AI affordance in the browser does not use the local model the user has been silently given

Wtf is “Mexican alarm sound”? Setting up mariachis as your alarm?
This is a screenshot of countries’ EAS alarms
Uhh, how old are you? Not discriminating around Lemmy though, just curious.

Clean your camera lens
Looks awful, at least 3rd party YT apps can help with this
This is the the way.
Please use newpipe, pipepipe or whatever one you like.
I don’t even see new channels or any suggested content. I have to go out of my way to add channels to a RSS feed for stuff i don’t watch just so I can feel like i have awareness of the slop world. And I’m not loading a list of 700+ channels every time I want to refresh my mobile feed.
Oh yeah and you get video background player and popup player for free(normally YouTube premium features). Just make sure to use a VPN your IP might get temp banned for like 6+ hours so you just hop.
I already use Flow on my phone
What is the context of the screenshot? What is being summarized? What is summarizing?
