GOOGLE TESTS “AI MODE” FOR SEARCH 🛜

Never try to shop for a toaster online. There are just way too many pop-ups. 🙃

What’s new? Google is testing a new AI Mode for Search, designed to make finding information faster and more intuitive.

Want the details? Building on Overviews, this feature uses generative AI to provide summaries, answer questions, and guide searches more effectively. Instead of just showing a list of links, AI Mode can generate quick answers, summarize complex topics, and even suggest follow-up questions. It’s especially useful for research-heavy queries, where gathering and comparing information can be time-consuming. Users will be able to toggle AI Mode on and off, meaning people will still have control over whether they want AI-assisted results or traditional search. Google’s aim is to make searches feel more conversational while maintaining accuracy and reliability. The company is currently rolling out a beta version of AI Mode to Google One AI Premium subscribers and will gather feedback to refine the feature before making it public.

Why is this important? While AI-powered search is exciting, it also raises concerns about bias, misinformation, and over-reliance on automated answers. Remember what happened when Google first launched AI Overviews? We were putting glue on our pizza and eating rocks!

AMAZON PRIME ROLLS OUT LIVE AUDIO TRANSLATIONS FOR MOVIES 🍿

Q: Did you hear about the new Minecraft movie?

A: It’s a blockbuster. 🧱

What’s up? Amazon Prime Video is testing AI-aided dubbing to break language barriers. Initially, this feature will only be for English and Spanish movies.

Want the details? The AI-assisted process combines technology with human oversight to ensure quality translations. This new feature will bring English and Latin American Spanish dubbing to 12 licensed films and series that wouldn’t have been dubbed otherwise, making it easier than ever to enjoy global entertainment. In addition to AI-aided dubbing, Prime Video is rolling out AI Topics, a feature that helps users discover content based on their interests.

OPENAI TO CHARGE $20,000/MO FOR PHD-LEVEL AGENTS 🎓

I told my girlfriend that I’m a PhD. That stands for “Pizza Hut Deliveryman,” but she doesn’t need to know that. 🍕

What’s going on? OpenAI is planning to launch specialized AI “agents” with price tags as high as $20,000 per month.

Want the details? These AI tools will be designed for specific professional tasks, such as software development, sales lead analysis, and research. The most expensive tier, at $20,000 per month, is said to be targeted at supporting “PhD-level research.” Other reported offerings include a $2,000-per-month agent for high-income professionals and a $10,000-per-month software engineering agent. It’s unclear when these products will launch or who will be able to access them, but OpenAI has already secured major investment from SoftBank and others.

Who will pay for this? OpenAI faces significant financial challenges, having lost around $5 billion last year due to operational costs. And at its current rate of infrastructure investment, this number is only headed in the wrong direction. What remains clear is that OpenAI needs to charge an arm and a leg to run their AI models, and this may be reflected by price hikes across all their models in the near future. What remains unclear, however, is who Sam Altman and friends think is going to pay $20,000/mo for an AI model.
