    YOU KNEW IT WAS COMING: GOOGLE BEGINS TESTING AI-ONLY SEARCH RESULTS
    (4 MINUTE READ) [5]

    Google may soon just tell users what's on the Internet instead of
    showing them. The company is expanding its AI search features and
    testing a more substantial change in the form of AI Mode - a version
    of Google that will only show AI results. Google insists that helping
    people discover content online remains central to its approach, but AI
    Mode won't show organic results - it is designed to operate in a
    conversational way, so users will have to refine their search or ask
    follow-up questions. The experimental feature is only available for
    Google One AI Premium subscribers.

    THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS A.G.I. IS COMING (140 MINUTE READ) [21]

    Many experts, including those in government, believe that
    transformational artificial intelligence will be coming in the next
    two to three years.

    ADVANCED ROBOTIC SURGERIES ARE MINIMALLY INVASIVE, HELPING PATIENTS
    HEAL FASTER (5 MINUTE READ) [8]

    Robot surgeries account for around 22% of surgeries nowadays. The
    method offers less bleeding, less time in the hospital, and faster
    recovery time with less pain. These robots are machines operated by
    highly trained and experienced surgeons that remotely operate arms
    that hold tiny surgical instruments. Using robots allows surgeons to comfortably maneuver in places that are otherwise quite restrictive.
    The technology is not only becoming more widespread, it is also
    becoming more advanced - it may be possible one day to have robots
    operating independently.

    A STUDENT USED AI TO BEAT AMAZON'S BRUTAL TECHNICAL INTERVIEW. HE GOT
    AN OFFER AND SOMEONE TATTLED TO HIS UNIVERSITY (6 MINUTE READ) [13]

    Columbia University student Roy Lee managed to land internships at
    Amazon, Meta, and TikTok using a simple AI program. He had originally
    planned to get a degree to work in Big Tech, but training for
    technical interviews killed his passion for the job, which led him to
    create the program. Columbia University has scheduled a disciplinary
    hearing for Lee's stunt, but he will not be attending - Lee plans to
    leave the university, saying that the program he built is proof that
    the jobs Big Tech are offering are becoming obsolete.
