Android Auto begins erasing Assistant as Gemini prepares for takeover (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-06 16:16:37

TL;DR With the newest version of Android Auto, references to “Google Assistant” are being replaced with generic terms like “Digital Assistant,” despite still referring to the existing Google Assistant settings. The changes indicate Google’s ongoing transition from Google Assistant to Gemini across supported platforms. Google has long begun phasing out Google Assistant in favor of Gemini across its supported platforms. Back in May, Google had shown off Gemini for Android Auto and cars with Goog

MIT Economist Warns AI Is Poised to Turn Economy Into "Mad Max" Scenario

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-08 14:10:47

MIT economist David Autor is warning that AI could create a "Mad Max" scenario, in which the job market becomes dominated by cheap and commoditized labor. Autor made his grim prediction during an interview on the "Possible" podcast, hosted by LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman and his chief of staff Aria Finger. When asked whether he thought society is headed towards a "Wall-E" scenario — where "people sit around on hovercraft armchairs watching holographic TV" — or much grimmer alternative, Auto

Google / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET A few months ago, I bought into the Jeep cult. One bit of fanciness with this vehicle is its ability to connect to Android Auto. I was excited because I'd never owned a car that could connect to my Android phone and actually make use of it.

In 2013, a trio of academics showed convincing evidence that increased trade with China beginning in the early 2000s and the resulting flood of cheap imports had been an unmitigated disaster for many US communities, destroying their manufacturing lifeblood. The results of what they called the “China shock” were gut-wrenching: the loss of 1 million US manufacturing jobs and 2.4 million jobs in total by 2011.

CEOs Say AI Is Poised to Wipe Out an Astonishing Number of Jobs

Billionaire tech moguls aren't the only ones doomsaying about artificial intelligence layoffs. CEOs across a range of industries are now jumping on the bandwagon, saying it's no longer a matter of "if," but "how many" jobs AI will take. A recent survey by the Wall Street Journal explored just how pervasive the automation idea is throughout a number of industries, and execs aren't pulling any punches.

The Great American EV Fire Sale Is About to Begin

If you are thinking about buying an electric vehicle, the clock is now ticking. President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” has officially passed Congress, and with it, a countdown that will kill the popular $7,500 federal tax credit for new electric vehicles. You now have less than three months to act. The tax credit officially expires on September 30, 2025. Initially, there were rumors the EV credits would last 180 days from when the bill was signed, a six-month grace period. This law
