Google just gave its Photos app the feature upgrade it deserves - here's what's new

zdnet.com Artie Beaty 2025-08-23 19:30:14

Google / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET After hitting pause three weeks ago, Google is resuming rollout of its AI-powered Ask Photos feature. This time around, the company says, things should be better. Last fall, Google slowly began rolling out a new feature that lets you ask queries to find particular pictures in your Photos app. You might ask something like, "Where was that restaurant we ate at in San Francisco?" or "Show me all the selfies I took in NYC museums," and Gemini will find what yo

As artificial intelligence ruins the economy and takes over the world, Google is quietly working to change the advertising game in a mind-bending way. As Semafor reports, AI has so utterly altered the way search engine advertising works that Google is now being forced to rewrite the script it forged itself. Chief among its new directives: creating a new ecosystem where advertisers compete for the attention of AI agents rather than humans — a shift predicted at the very beginning of this year b

This Prehistoric Trick Shows How Ice Age People Harvested Teeth for Jewelry

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-08-23 13:00:05

When piecing together the cultural practices of ancient humans, traditional archaeologists rely on clues from artifacts such as tools, bones, and pottery. Experimental archaeologists, however, go a step further—recreating past behaviors to experience how people once lived. That’s precisely what a team of researchers recently did to investigate how Stone Age communities in northeastern Europe extracted animal teeth to produce accessories.

For those of you wondering if AI agents can truly replace human workers, do yourself a favor and read the blog post that documents Anthropic’s “Project Vend.” Researchers at Anthropic and AI safety company Andon Labs put an instance of Claude Sonnet 3.7 in charge of an office vending machine, with a mission to make a profit.

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-23 15:00:10

Joe Maring / Android Authority At Google I/O 2024, Google introduced the world to “Ask Photos.” It was a new Gemini-powered search experience for Google Photos that would enable you to use natural language to easily find pictures in your library. The pitch sounded great and like a legitimately good use of AI. Unfortunately, Ask Photos’ implementation fell short.

Battery electrode materials need to do a lot of things well. They need to be conductors to get charges to and from the ions that shuttle between the electrodes. They also need to have an open structure that allows the ions to move around before they reach a site where they can be stored. The storage of lots of ions also causes materials to expand, creating mechanical stresses that can cause the structure of the electrode material to gradually decay.
