Google has announced a major upgrade to its AI-powered tool, NotebookLM, introducing a new feature called Video Overviews. This update enables users to generate AI-narrated slide presentations, expanding on its earlier Audio Overviews functionality. According to Google’s official blog post, Video Overviews act as a visual alternative to Audio Overviews. The AI host generates new visuals—images, diagrams, quotes, and data—directly from user-uploaded documents. This helps users better explain complex data, outline processes, and visualize abstract concepts. Key Features of the Update: The update is currently available in English, with plans to expand to additional languages in upcoming releases. This evolution…
Tesla has long hyped its future on robotaxis—autonomous vehicles offering driverless rides. But in California, where AV regulations are strict, its next move won’t be quite so futuristic. The company recently informed the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) that it plans to expand a limited taxi service from Tesla employees to include friends, family, and select members of the public in the San Francisco Bay Area. But there’s a catch: California law prohibits the use of autonomous vehicles for passenger transport without special permits—and Tesla doesn’t have those. So despite the “robotaxi” branding, human drivers will be required. “Tesla is…
This week, SpaceX’s massive Starship rocket once again exploded during testing. While the upper stage did reach space for the first time, the mission ended in failure as both stages were ultimately lost. It was a partial success at best — and a reminder that SpaceX still has a long way to go before Starship can fulfill its ultimate goal: carrying humans to Mars. Despite the setback, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk doubled down on bold claims. In a presentation shared on May 29, Musk reiterated his vision of sending “millions of people” to Mars to build a “self-sustaining civilization.” He…
True wireless earbuds under ₹10,000 often blur into each other—basic design, average battery life, and unremarkable audio. However, the OnePlus Buds 4, priced at ₹5,999 in India, manage to break that monotony. While they may look familiar, what’s inside sets them apart—particularly in active noise cancellation (ANC) and bass-heavy sound. Design and Build: A Touch of Premium for Less At first glance, the Buds 4 resemble the more expensive OnePlus Buds 3 Pro, especially in their overall silhouette. However, subtle changes make them distinct. The stems are shorter and flatter, giving them a more compact appearance. The charging case ditches…
Meta is taking further steps to make Instagram safer for teens and children. On Wednesday, the company announced a new set of safety features specifically designed to protect young users on the platform. These tools primarily focus on direct messaging (DMs)—an area where many risky interactions can occur. Transparency in New Conversations Now, when a teen sends a direct message to someone for the first time, Instagram will show when that person joined the platform at the top of the chat. This added context can help teens quickly spot suspicious accounts—especially new profiles, which often belong to scammers or bots.…
In Kerala, India, a temple is embracing technology to protect animals and uphold tradition. Robot elephants are now performing rituals that once involved real, captive elephants. These lifelike machines are impressive. The robotic elephant flaps its ears, swishes its tail, and sprays water from its trunk—just like a real one. It stands 11 feet tall, weighs 800 kilograms, and can even carry a person. This innovation comes from PETA India, which donated the robot to the Irinjadappilly Sree Krishna Temple. The goal is clear: end animal abuse in religious practices. Traditionally, elephants used in festivals face loud noises, bright lights,…
Access to adult websites like YouPorn is increasingly restricted in many parts of the world. From age verification laws in the U.S. to outright blocks in countries like France, more users are finding themselves unable to visit these sites — even for personal and legal use. If you’re looking for a legitimate way to regain access, using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) is your best bet. Why Is YouPorn Blocked in Some Locations? More than a third of U.S. states have introduced strict age verification laws, resulting in blocked access to sites owned by Aylo — including Pornhub, Redtube, and…
OpenAI just took a major step forward in the AI arms race with the launch of its new ChatGPT agent—a powerful digital assistant capable of doing more than just answering questions. Now, it can take action on your behalf: automating online tasks, creating detailed PowerPoint presentations, drafting spreadsheets, booking restaurant reservations, conducting competitive research, and even summarizing calendar events. Unlike previous versions, the new ChatGPT agent combines the functionality of OpenAI’s earlier “Operator” bot with the company’s deep research capabilities. The result? A browser-powered, internet-savvy AI that can click, scroll, type, gather information, and synthesize it just like a human—only…
In a surprising twist for one of the most influential companies in artificial intelligence, Scale AI has laid off 200 employees—just weeks after receiving a massive investment from Meta. The decision follows a period of turbulence and transformation that has shaken up its workforce and business model. A Sudden Shift After a $14.3B Boost Scale AI recently secured a staggering $14.3 billion investment from Meta. However, the funding came with strings attached. Along with the capital, Meta acquired a 49% stake in the company and hired away Scale AI’s CEO, Alexandr Wang, who has since joined Meta’s superintelligence division. According…
Scale AI, the data-labeling startup once considered a cornerstone of the AI training ecosystem, has laid off around 200 employees, or 14% of its workforce, and is also severing ties with 500 global contractors, according to a report from Bloomberg. The decision follows a dramatic shift in the company’s trajectory, coming just weeks after Meta brought on Scale AI’s CEO in a $14.3 billion deal. In an internal memo viewed by Bloomberg, interim CEO Jason Droege acknowledged that Scale had grown its core data-labeling business too aggressively. This business had long fueled Scale’s rise — offering labeled, structured datasets essential…
In a new step toward building a circular battery economy, General Motors (GM) and Redwood Materials have announced an expanded partnership that puts used and new EV batteries to work — not on the road, but powering energy-hungry data centers. Redwood Materials, the battery recycling startup founded by former Tesla CTO JB Straubel, has started using battery packs from GM’s electric vehicles — both retired and unused — to build stationary energy storage systems. These systems are now part of a new microgrid setup at Redwood’s Sparks, Nevada headquarters. That microgrid, with a capacity of 12 megawatts, is already live…
