Google announces Gemini 3 as battle with OpenAI intensifies (5 minute read)

Google's new Gemini 3 AI model allows users to get better answers to more complex questions. It will be integrated into the Gemini app, Google's AI search products, and the company's enterprise products. Users will start seeing the rollout over the coming weeks. The model is built to grasp depth and nuance, so it is much better at figuring out context and intent behind requests.

Science & Futuristic Technology

Scientists pull off quantum teleportation between photons from different quantum dots (5 minute read)

Researchers in Germany have demonstrated the first transfer of quantum information between photons emitted by two different quantum dots. The work is part of a project to build quantum repeaters that fit into existing fiber networks. Any attempt to read or intercept quantum communications leaves traces, making systems inherently secure. The current setup teleports information with a success rate of slightly above 70%. This could be improved by stabilizing the quantum dots.
Robotaxis and Suburbia (25 minute read)

When Uber first came onto the scene, it provided an entirely new experience for both drivers and riders that was orthogonal to the taxi market. This let it create a far larger market. Robotaxis could have the same effect. The technology could result in the end of urbanism as living in the suburbs becomes more convenient.

Gemini 3 Developer Guide (11 minute read)

Gemini 3 is designed to bring any idea to life. This guide covers the key features of the Gemini 3 model family and shows readers how to get the most out of it. Gemini 3 Pro uses dynamic thinking by default - for faster, low-latency responses, constrain the model's thinking level to 'low'. There are some differences in the model that developers should be aware of when migrating from Gemini 2.5.
Making things true (3 minute read)

The most important moments in the history of computing were the introduction of new primitives. The command line enabled composable programs, the GUI gave users direct manipulation, the web linked information together, and smartphones provided sensors and connectivity. Each unlocked ecosystems because they provided new primitives that could be infinitely recombined. AI is a new primitive that allows us to decompose and recompose reality in new ways.

Most companies will slow entry-level hiring because of AI, survey says (3 minute read)

Two-thirds of organizations around the world expect to slow entry-level hiring in the coming years. Employers are rapidly adopting AI tools, and that automation is already changing or displacing roles at scale. Most organizations say job responsibilities have shifted or disappeared due to AI. Routine tasks have been most affected. Many organizations are now focusing on broader communication, critical thinking, and technical abilities over considering university degrees.
Meta's Victory Opens the Way for Silicon Valley to Go Deal Shopping (6 minute read)

A federal judge ruled yesterday that Meta had not illegally stifled competition when it bought Instagram and WhatsApp more than a decade ago. Meta may soon be able to resume buying young startups to stay ahead of the pack. The ruling will eliminate a lot of the strange deal structures that the major acquirers have been using and open up the door for more deals.
