Clicking on "Supercharge learning & ideation with AI" waitlist gives me: "404. That’s an error. The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know."
For once it's nothing like LLMs and image diffusion models we already have. It doesn't let you generate for any keywords that represent names, bands, brands, etc. So there no let's say easy way to compare what it generated with something that already exist. Not even Beethoven.
And while it can generate something when you ask for national anthem result is quite underwhelming. It can't generate music for specific musical instrument either.
What it good at is at somewhat following instructions: pacing, trying to fit specific mood. I managed to make it generate some Synth-pop as this subgenre less affected by ambient noise.
Labs stuff isn't fully supported, by definition, so IT admins generally don't want to deal with it. Experimental stuff isn't intended for paid business use which is meant to have higher standards of reliability.
They said they were using a personal Workspace account, not a paid business account. They're likely on a legacy Google Apps account, as am I, for having signed up using a custom domain name 15 years ago.
Just making a new account isn't a realistic option when you can't move over purchases, YouTube uploads, and the millions of other pieces of data tied to that account.
I'm not saying to migrate entire accounts, just to use a free personal account if you want to try these new Labs products or features. Nobody's stopping you from doing that, and it's really easy to handle multiple Google accounts in Chrome or Firefox.
And if experimental things take off they can get integrated into the Workspace versions intended for business.
Tailwind is a CSS framework, and some soon-to-be cancelled product from Google that shares (stole) its name isn't going to change that in my mind. Honestly, that name collision seems in poor taste. They couldn't come up with a name that's not already used by a popular open source project?
It's pretty obvious that when you prefix a product name with "Project" that's its not necessarily final. If the experiment is a success, it will indubitably be shipped under a less verbose name that doesn't collide.
I know that nothing will stop HN readers from rewarding yet another repetition of this shallow and repetitive joke. But it seems particulary mis-applied in this instance. This is labs, these are not billed as products in the first place! The headline is "help test early-stage experiments".
Google IO has been a disappointing affair for the last 10 years, from only releasing on waitlists to never actually shipping to production. I sign up for their waitlists, but rarely actually hear back. I'm more than convinced today that Google's good days are long over.

Also, Tailwind's "Join waitlist" link (https://thoughtful.sandbox.google.com/signup) leads me to a 404 page (maybe be region specific as I'm not based in N. America).
