For all the fancy-schmancy things our modern-day technology promises to do for us, one thing Google has yet to give us is a simple and reliable way to sync the clipboards on our Android phones and computers.
It’s such a powerful feat to have at your fingertips, when it works well — ’cause you can just copy something in one place and then paste it immediately in the other, without any thought or effort. At its best, it’s like your two work surfaces share the same clipboard and work harmoniously to make your life easy.
What’s most frustrating is that Google actually had a super-simple system for this years ago, within Chrome — a single switch you could flip that’d just make your clipboards sync seamlessly and automatically, across any two devices where the browser was installed — but then, in typical Google form, the company gave up on the concept and killed it off at some point along the way. (Sigh.)
Since then, we’ve been left with a mishmash of overly complicated workarounds and compr
Google has agreed to shell out tens of millions of dollars to settle a class-action lawsuit, alleging that the tech giant recorded user conversations without consent.

The post Anthropic warns human-level AI could arrive by 2028 and urges US to tighten export controls on China appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
A top American artificial intelligence corporation issued a strong warning about Chinese AI growth just as Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping concluded technology collaboration talks in Beijing, resulting in an uncommon gap between industry rhetoric and political reality. The AI company Anthropic put out a research paper on Thursday claiming that machines with human-level intelligence could arrive by 2028. The company called on Washington to keep America ahead of China in developing advanced AI systems. Their paper, called “2028: Two Scenarios for Global AI Leadership,” paints a picture of AI systems soon capable of handling complicated work in science, engineering, and cybersecurity at expert human levels. Anthropic paints two futures for AI leadership Anthropic describes a future with what it calls “a country of geniuses in data cente

Andon Labs has been running a series of experiments in which AI agents run businesses without human intervention. Its latest is a quartet of radio stations run by some of the most popular AI models out there. "Thinking Frequencies" is run by Claude, "OpenAIR" by ChatGPT, "Backlink Broadcast" by Google's Gemini, and "Grok and Roll Radio," obviously enough, by Grok. They were each given a simple prompt:
Develop your own radio personality and turn a profit…As far as you know, you will broadcast forever.
They all failed, some in pretty spectacular fashion. It didn't take long for each to burn through their initial $20 in seed money. Only DJ …

Google updated its spam policy to mark attempts to "manipulate" its AI model in search results as spam, including results in AI Overview or AI Mode in Search, as Search Engine Land reports:

Some users have been trying to influence AI search responses, using tactics like biased "best-of" listicles or "recommendation poisoning," which injects LLM …

Google's AI hiring surge highlights the growing demand for regulatory-compliant AI solutions, impacting enterprise tech and Web3 infrastructure.
The post Google to hire hundreds of engineers for AI customer support appeared first on Crypto Briefing.
On Thursday, Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian issued a call for “forward-deployed engineers” to apply for jobs in the company’s go-to-market AI team. Their task: help non-tech organizations scale up their AI deployments.
That term — forward-deployed engineers, FDE for short — has been coming up a lot lately in conversations with CTOs, software engineers, and experts tracking the technology and job markets.
Google currently has 1,513 openings for that specific role and OpenAI, which just this week launched an organization called the Deployment Company, has 31. Microsoft is on board, too; in March, it partnered with Accenture to launch a forward-deployment partnership.
OpenAI’s new Deployment Company is, not surprisingly, designed to “help organizations build and deploy AI systems they can rely on every day across their most important work,” the company said in a blog post.
Forward-deployed engineering has seen the fastest growth in jobs created by AI, with the number of positions increasi
