Google's Gemini AI often just feels like a chatbot built into a text-input field, but you can really start to do special things when you give it access to a ton of data. Gemini in Gmail will soon be able to search through your entire backlog of emails and show a summary in a sidebar. It looks like you're writing an email. Would you like advertisements for that?

The lightweight AI assistant will let you generate social media posts, product reviews, and more directly within Chrome. Because Chrome doesn't use enough memory yet?

Didn't you read? It says, "lightweight." 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Scientists previously considered only a small subset of possible topologies "Donuts. Is there anything they can't do?"
Mmmm... Uni-verse.

AI Overviews are now available in the US and will roll out to more than a billion people by the year's end. Will the AI also hallucinate advertisements?

There's an evil genius marketing idea. It does hallucinate products, on purpose. It makes them up and personalizes them so as to collect and aggregate metrics of products people might want that don't actually exist yet.

As hybrid work arrangements become more common, it can be a challenge to get coworkers in the same place at the same time. 'X' marks the spot (to my desk)

A study analyzing Apple, Microsoft, and SpaceX suggests that return to office (RTO) mandates can lead to a higher rate of employees, especially senior-level ones, leaving the company, often to work at competitors. But did they go to an office at the new company?

Kent, that's a good question. I wonder how many just retired.

One group of scientists thinks that we may already have detected technosignatures from a technological civilization’s Dyson Spheres, but the detection is hidden in our vast troves of astronomical data. Will they settle for a Ringworld?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I'd look for 'dirty' Bussard ramjet signatures from a Pak ship.

Dyson Sphere Program was pretty cool (PC game). It's kinda like Factorio where the basic gameplay is pretty much "logistical nightmare".
Basically you're a big robot thing that can build various industrial process, sucking up the local resources, and pouring them into launching rockets and such to build Dyson Spheres.
They added some kind of alien opposition not so long ago and I've not tried it. The game kinda stands fine without opposition, imo.
But it's really cool to plan out the whole structure of your sphere and then see it slowly take shape as 100s of launchers shoot solar sails and rockets sourced from entire planets of industrial process you built.

In other words, take the existing component and run it before making any changes to it at all. Does it work? Do not try to change the code. Only realize, there is no code.
