Some news from me: It's really exciting to join Google as their News Lab Lead for Australia and New Zealand (1/2)

Gemini Omni is a major leap in world understanding & multimodal editing! It can take photos, video & audio and build entirely new scenes. Over time it’ll be able to handle any input & any output - starting w/ video

You can even give it your own videos & iterate on your ideas:

@cameronwilson Congrats!

The AI Scientist, a new @Nature article making the case:
"The dawn of a new era in which the process of discovery is no longer a solely human pursuit and in which the pace at which we are able to reap the harvest of scientific discovery could accelerate dramatically."

Thrilled to launch Project Genie, an experimental prototype of the world's most advanced world model. Create entire playable worlds to explore in real-time just from a simple text prompt - kind of mindblowing really! Available to Ultra subs in the US for now - have fun exploring!

This is Gemini 3: our most intelligent model that helps you learn, build and plan anything.

It comes with state-of-the-art reasoning capabilities, world-leading multimodal understanding, and enables new agentic coding experiences. 🧵

Today, we’re announcing a major breakthrough that marks a significant step forward in the world of quantum computing. For the first time in history, our teams at @GoogleQuantumAI demonstrated that a quantum computer can successfully run a verifiable algorithm, 13,000x faster than leading classical supercomputers.

This continues to build momentum on past quantum computing discoveries. Back in 2019, we proved a quantum computer could solve a problem that would take a classical computer thousands of years. Then in 2024, our new Willow chip solved a major issue in quantum error correction that challenged the field for nearly 30 years. Today’s breakthrough moves us closer to quantum computers that can drive discoveries in areas like medicine and materials science.

I think it’s now obvious there needs to be an ongoing World Series for survivor every year with JLP hosting, Shonee providing post game commentary and Lisa asking to be adopted by one of the contestants #SurvivorAU #survivor #SurvivorAUvsTheWorld

[Uma Patel @umabp]

I think there needs to be a Stan account dedicated to Lisa stannning Cirie #SurvivorAU #SurvivorAUvsTheWorld #survivor

[Uma Patel @umabp]

“This is my challenge, that is my necklace,” is how I’m ending every argument from now on #survivorau #SurvivorAUvsTheWorld

[Mel ✨ @melbrown00]

Lisa’s reaction to Cirie’s Game Changers elimination is so real 😂😂

“They’re taking our jobs.” Really? The ones driving Ubers at 2am? The ones working double shifts in hospitals so you don’t sit for 12 hours in emergency? The ones paying international student fees that keep universities from collapsing? https://t.co/pf2v5KxLP2

Parvarti’s advantage had to be played before everyone voted, right? As in, she faked Kass out with a worthless piece of paper that she decided to lie about in the moment? Queen. #survivorau

[Nick Fox @thefox]

Awesome to see so much excitement for the new Google Finance! We’re continuing to expand access in the U.S… But :) we've heard some of you want to take it for a spin NOW!! We’ve added an opt in via Search Labs so you can skip the line → 📈 https://t.co/I7QbjRG70B 📈

Parvati and Kirby forming a whispered secret alliance during an endurance challenge is manna from heaven #SurvivorAU

[Uma Patel @umabp]

These “Tony’s Titanic move” definitely have “Sue’s big move” vibes #SurvivorAU

[Uma Patel @umabp]

Chanel 10 has just made season 16 of US Survivor (fans vs faves) available for Au audiences….. the “Black Widow” season.

Hopefully this means Parvati finally gets her second win and #SurvivorAUvsTheWorld is “Black Widow 2: Huntsman” #SurvivorAU #survivor (that’s a spider pun)
