Some strange and fun things to look forward to.
This big piece from Wired includes, for example, a tidbit that one Google executive “switched from calling her sister during her commutes to gabbing out loud with Gemini Live.”
The whole thing is an interesting read.
Google’s Vids product in Workspace, which can make videos using Gemini AI from a prompt and a document from Google Drive, will now automatically add AI-generated voiceovers to videos, according to a blog post. You can remove them if you want.
Previously, you had to add the AI-made voiceovers manually.

Epic Games’ mobile game store will now have weekly free games. Super Meat Boy Forever and Eastern Exorcist are the options available this week.
PUBG’s user-generated content (UGC) project, scheduled to launch in alpha this year, will let players make modes with their own rules, according to a 2025 roadmap for the game. A “world editing feature” is also in the works, “allowing players to place buildings and assets freely to create their own unique environments.”
It sounds a little like Fortnite’s creator tools.
