Search is About to Change Forever

the tech news Singularity approaches

that's just where companies shove more

and more AI into basic everyday objects

until literally every topic qualifies as

Tech on some level and I don't know

sounds great to me Google held its IO

event today to detail its ongoing plans

to put generative AI in absolutely

everything starting with the public

rollout of Gemini infused Google search

results your Gramma's going to be using

this prepare yourself the tech giant

says they want to start by providing AI

curated results and AI overview

summaries to users looking for

inspiration like those making open-ended

requests for date ideas to which the

only acceptable answer is Casa Bonita in

Denver Colorado either she gets it or

she's not worth it if you search date

ideas you'll get one answer every time

the company did however throw one bone

to Skeptics of the direction Google

search has taken over the last few

decades last few decades oh wow yep no

that's

right the company did have ever throw

one bone to Skeptics of the direction

Google search has taken over the last

few decades a dedicated web search tab

that filters out Google's various

widgets and doodads leaving just

text-based results I'm getting sad here

Google also announced several updates to

its stable of AI models Gemini 1.5 Pro

is now available to all developers with

up to a 2 million token context window

Gemini Nano now has multimodal

capabilities that allow it to take

images audio and video as input and

they've added a faster lower latency

model Gemini 1.5 flash Google has also

integrated Gemini as a panel on the side

of most of its workplace Suite which can

be toggled on or off thank you so much

Google Plus they've added an AI teammate

intended to act as a kind of

productivity buddy tracking tasks and

coordinating Communications with

co-workers you can even personalize it

and give it its own name I've named mine

Jacob after our writer Jacob which is

only a problem when I get Jacob and

Jacob confused are you talking to

me it's like they're in the room now as

for more visual AI stuff there's the

even betterer text to image model

imagine 3 that's how they say it even

though it should be imagine moving on

and Google deep Minds vo a generative

video model that looks like Google's

fairly impressive answer to open ai's so

the question of whether this was trained

on YouTube videos should be obvious

it'll be available to a few creators

through the new video FX tool and it

comes integrated with Google's AI

watermarking system synth ID which now

works with video and could be built into

YouTube one day another big maybe is

Project Astra which Google described as

our vision for the future of AI

assistants that can perceive live video

and audio and answer in real time and we

think it's so cool that they want that

have you have you made it yet cuz why

are you showing it otherwise what if

this existed yeah that would be cool

cool idea

Google sounds neat that's awesome Google

CEO Sundar peichi also hyped up deep

mines Alpha fold 3 the Revolutionary

protein structure prediction tool that

can do the same thing for all sorts of

different molecules now and finally

Google announced a grab bag of AI

adjacent accessibility features for

Android there's one that can monitor

phone calls live and flag whether they

are likely to be scams one that

describes images for visually impaired

users and another that allows users to

control a cursor with their head and

face of course Apple also recently

announced a similar eye tracking

accessibility feature and besides you

could already control your phone with

your face youve just got to get real

close

that just get close enough and then you

can do any anything you want I use my

tongue personally in other I news Ilia

sser open aai co-founder and chief

scientist has suddenly left the company

for reasons unknown though he indicated

that he was excited about vague future

plans that he would outline at some

later Point once he gets the Chachi PT

summary of it only a few hours later Jan

Ley co-leader of open ai's Super

alignment group announced that he was

leaving the company as well tweeting

just two words I resigned B abrupt open

AI has seen several similar high-profile

departures within the last few months

including four researchers their head of

nonprofit and strategic initiatives and

their VP of people whatever the heck

that

is do they have a VP of non people

that's every other VP VP of cats VP of

staplers he's got his own office at

least one of the researchers stated that

he didn't trust the company to behave

responsibly around the creation of

artificial general intelligence opening

I's internal culture appears to be

significantly out of step with public

sentiment on this issue as a recent

yugov survey found that 63% of Americans

would support government legislation to

prevent the creation of super

intelligent AI Sam ultman was apparently

one of the few who watched Terminator

and the Matrix and thought hell yeah

sick that's what I'm talking about I

hate the villain John

coner taking immediate action earlier

today the US Senate revealed a 32

billion doll a year road map for

regulating AI which makes no concrete

suggestions for how to regulate AI we're

very much in the creating a committee to

develop a framework for considering

legislation stage of the regulatory

process and that part's important plus

that annual 32 billion is primarily

intended for investment in non-military

AI Innovation so apparently we're going

to regulate Sam ultman by giving him

money here's an alternative idea get

money from satisfying customers with the

help of today's sponsor mend they help

utterly simple okay more AI A2 quick

bits Apple's newest 17.5 iOS update

appears to be causing old long deleted

photos including nudes to reappear in

users photo albums as if they were

recent photos you don't want that dozens

of users have reported encountering this

issue including on devices that were

previously wiped to be clear this

doesn't necessarily mean that Apple has

secretly been holding on to supposedly

deleted data old deleted data isn't

really gone gone until it's been

overwritten by something else which is

probably how the I necromancers at Apple

accidentally brought a bunch of elderly

dickpics back from the grave the the

picks are elderly I don't know about the

dicks leaked internal documents from

Dell show an extremely bullish attitude

towards qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon X

Elite chips which are set to launch

imminently Dell apparently already

expects to include second gen Snapdragon

X Elite chips in its 2026 laptop lineup

as well as a third generation for either

2027 or

2028 depending on whether the AI has

gotten us all by then the second gen

chips are expected to be even more

efficient than their already super

efficient predecessors cutting the power

draw of Dell's 2026 laptops down to 20

watts from 25.5 Watts Asus is only

scheduled to announce its own Snapdragon

X Elite based laptop on Monday so this

is a bit like checking your parents

closet for your birthday present only to

find several years worth of future

birthday presents and now everything's

been ruined there there's no surprise

socks 2030 really a federal

investigation of alphabet subsidiary

whmo is underway due to the company's

self-driving cars being involved in a

lot of crashes way more crashes than

necessary anyway

investig anyway investigators have found

22 incidents where wh's cars collided

with objects like Gates chains and

parked cars meanwhile automakers as a

whole have been put on notice by the FTC

to stop selling connected cars that

illegally collect users data

that sounded really scary until the FTC

revealed this issue has been on their

radar for years Nissan and Kia's privacy

policies allow them to track your sexual

activity and the FDC is just

watching gross it was in the terms get

out of there Kento stop

watching New York City will be testing

AI enabled gun Scanners from a company

called evolve in its subway system with

mayor Eric Adams saying an analysis of

the scanner's accuracy will be conducted

even though the city already tested

evolved scanners 2 years ago that test

revealed the scanners detections were

actually false positives 85% of the time

another 14% of detections were cops

you'd think that math that disappointing

would mean something to the education

system but apparently several US states

are still considering putting similar

scanners in schools it wouldn't be the

first time a school gave a passing grade

to an underperformer but that's usually

reserved for Star athletes who actually

put points on the board we got to

makeing a championships this year and

Tik Tok is including chat GPT generated

answers to some of its search results

and it test to see just how deeply they

can confuse the youth the app does warn

users that AI smart search could get

things wrong but Tik Tok users should be

used to that last September the app

tested supplementing its search results

with links to Google Wikipedia IMDb and

other websites since many young people

treat Tik Tok as a search engine and may

not no there's a whole internet out

there that isn't based on only fans

funnel accounts and confident

misinformation or at least there used to

be there also used to be more Tech news

every Friday and guess what there still

is I'll see you then okay all right bye

bye now take care yourself see you
