The top skill for the next generation in an AI-driven world? Learning how to learn. Speaking in Athens, Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, said mastering this skill is crucial as AI reshapes education, work, and industries.

Here’s what you need to know:

Here’s what I think:

The idea of learning a single skill and working with it for 5–10 years before needing to upskill is changing. In an AI-driven world, workers and students will need to constantly track developments in their domain, find ways to stay ahead of the curve, and differentiate themselves to build successful careers.

Meta just revealed three smart glasses at Meta Connect, including Ray-Ban Display glasses that pair with a Neural Band to detect muscle signals before you visibly move, an athlete-focused Oakley line, and the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2.

Here’s what you need to know:

Here’s what I think:

Meta is solving two problems that have plagued other smart glasses: making wearables people actually want to wear, with controls that work without awkward voice commands. With the Neural Band detecting intention before movement even occurs, this is potentially the start of tech that responds to thought over touch.

Google just introduced new Gemini integration across its Chrome browser for all U.S. desktop users, giving the platform new AI-powered capabilities for multi-tab context, an embedded AI Mode, and more.

Here’s what you need to know:

Here’s what I think:

Google's rollout of Gemini into its dominant Chrome browser is about to make the AI assistant sidebar as common as a URL box. While competitors scrambled to build new browsers from scratch, Google’s AI infusion was always lurking — and marks the biggest step yet towards a mainstream AI-powered browsing future.

Chinese researchers just published new research on ‘SpikingBrain 1.0’, an AI system that mimics human neurons to achieve massive speed gains while running entirely on China’s MetaX chips instead of Nvidia hardware.

Here’s what you need to know:

Here’s what I think:

By achieving massive speed gains on fully domestic hardware, China shows it can not only compete with but also potentially bypass largely Nvidia-powered Western AI. The landscape is no longer dominated by one ecosystem, making awareness of regional innovations essential for staying ahead.

YouTube just dropped over 30 new creator tools at its Made on YouTube event, including AI-powered editing and clipping features, the addition of Veo 3 Fast in shorts, auto-dubbing, and more.

Here’s what you need to know:

Here’s what I think:

AI tools have obviously been a massive accelerator for content creation, and YouTube has been quick to enable the tech for its millions of creators on the platform. Having its parent company, Google, consistently on the frontier across both image and video models also doesn’t hurt for guaranteed, consistent upgrades.

Prompt: "I’m going to paste in a raw braindump of my thoughts. These will be messy, fragmented, half-formed ideas, sometimes repetitive. Your job is to: 1. Organize everything into a clear structure or outline. 2. Preserve my original voice — don’t rewrite, polish, or rephrase into something more formal. 3. Group related ideas together under logical headings or categories. 4. Sequence them so they flow in a sensible order (e.g., from big picture → details, or problem → solution). 5. If something doesn’t fit anywhere, place it in a “Misc / Unsorted” section at the end. Important: Do not delete or change my words. Don’t inject new ideas. Don’t improve the writing. Just structure it. When you’re ready, say: “Paste your braindump now.”

Prompt: "Evaluate the credibility of this article: [insert link or paste text]. Bias (1–10): Does the article use loaded language, omit counterpoints, or show political/financial/ideological leanings? Explain briefly. Evidence Quality (1–10): Are claims backed by verifiable data, peer-reviewed studies, or credible experts? Identify any weak or unsupported claims. Relevance (1–10): How relevant is this source to the topic at hand compared to alternatives (e.g., primary research, domain experts, institutional reports)? Authority Check: Who is the author/publisher? What is their track record, expertise, or potential conflict of interest? Cross-Verification: Point out at least 2–3 better or more authoritative sources (e.g., peer-reviewed journals, government/academic reports, or established outlets). Final Verdict: Summarize whether this article is reliable enough to cite directly, or whether it should be treated cautiously/secondary.”
