Gemini 2.0: Google ushers in the agentic AI era
“We have been investing in developing more agentic models, meaning they can understand more about the world around you, think multiple steps ahead, and take action on your behalf, with your supervision,” Pichai explained.Gemini 2.0: Core features and availabilityAt the heart of today’s announcement is the experimental release of Gemini 2.0 Flash, the flagship model of Gemini’s second generation. It builds upon the foundations laid by its predecessors while

Don't give the agent docker.sock: how I created separate access for AI in my Docker manager / Habr
I have a pet-project d9c, a terminal interface for Docker on remote servers. It runs locally, connects to the host via SSH, and nothing needs to be installed on the server. Inside the table, navigation is like in vim, commands are entered with a colon, logs, shell inside the container, compose. In short, it's k9s, but only for Docker. d9c But the article isn't about the interface. For the past few months, I've been doing almost everything through Claude Co

China Built Cheap AI. Now It’s Building a Great Wall Around It
China has been making big strides in its sprint to catch up with the American AI industry lately, thanks in large part to its focus on open source models, which have growing appeal for cash-strapped U.S. businesses. But that accessibility could soon be limited, as Beijing weighs the possibility of cutting off foreign access to the country’s top AI systems. Chinese state officials met with Chinese tech developers Alibaba, ByteDance, and Z.ai over the past m

As Saudi Arabia's 100-Mile Skyscraper Crumbles, They're Replacing It With the Most Desperate Thing Imaginable
Neom No one is surprised that Neom — Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s $1.5 trillion-with-a-t plan to build a futuristic megacity smack dab in the middle of the desert — has turned out to be a disaster. Its centerpiece was supposed to be a towering skyscraper called The Line, over 100 miles in length, that could accommodate millions of people, something that the laws of reality always suggested would be impossible to pull off.

Concern Grows That AI Is Damaging Users' Cognitive Abilities
Getty / Futurism Last year, a team of researchers led by MIT research scientist Nataliya Kosmyna used electroencephalograms to monitor the brains of students while they were writing short, deliberately open-ended essays. They split the 54 participants into three groups: one was told to use ChatGPT, one could search for information on Google (minus AI-generated summaries), and another had to rely on their own knowledge.
