Google already shared the design changes in Android 16, which will include a new design language called Material 3 Expressive. Crucially, Google claims that “users are more likely to switch to products that use M3 Expressive components and techniques.” www.wired.com/story/androi...

In a demo of Project Astra built into Gemini on phones, Google did a clever little inversion in which the human using it was hallucinating fake shit and the AI model was correcting the human. AI will ruin reality before it ultimately proposes a solution to fix it, writes @laurengoode.bsky.social.

Big update: Google is rolling out its AI Mode chatbot-style search experience to everyone in the US starting today. 🫠 It’s the next step in the evolution of AI Overviews, which were introduced at I/O last year and haven’t exactly been super popular.

wired.comWith AI Mode, Google Search Is About to Get Even ChattierGoogle's new chatbot-style AI Mode search experience, previously an experiment, is launching for US users. Publishers and marketers will have to adjust their search strategies once again.

“The way we've ended up working with today's chatbots is, I think, a transitory period.” Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, says that reaching artificial general intelligence or AGI will mean honing some of the nascent abilities found in Google’s Gemini models. www.wired.com/story/google...

wired.comGoogle’s AI Boss Says Gemini's New Abilities Point the Way to AGIGoogle’s AI models are learning to reason, wield agency, and build virtual models of the real world. The company’s AI lead, Demis Hassabis, says all this—and more—will be needed for true AGI.

Bullshit. AlphaFold3 still hallucinate, cannot correctly encode stereochemistry, and is far from being able to generate complex protein structures correctly. The challenge is understanding chemistry. Engineering such AI system alone only requires undergraduate level education.

From @laurengoode.bsky.social: Google's head of search, Liz Reid, says AI Mode is “Google Search transformed with AI at its core." Reid is essentially saying that over time, all of Google's AI features will be injected into search. “And that begins today.” www.wired.com/live/google-...
