LINK
|
- Starlink’s global satellite internet went down for over two hours on Thursday, with customers from the US to Asia reporting that their connections were completely lost on social media.
- The company's VP of engineering blamed the disruption on a "failure of key internal software services that operate the core network," ruling out any problems with the satellite constellation itself.
- After first announcing the problem on its X account, SpaceX confirmed that service was mostly recovered by 6:23 PM ET and promised to ensure the issue does not reoccur.

🔎 Google’s new Web View search experiment organizes results with AI
LINK
|
- Google is testing a new Search Labs experiment called "Web Guide" that uses its Gemini AI to automatically arrange web search results into distinct, topic-based categories for users.
- The feature is powered by a custom version of Gemini and employs a “query fan-out” technique that issues multiple related searches at once to find and synthesize relevant web pages.
- This move further shifts Google Search into an "answer engine," escalating tensions with publishers who fear that categorizing links this way will reduce traffic and revenue for their websites.

📹 Elon Musk says Vine is returning with AI
LINK
|
- Elon Musk announced on his social media platform X that the popular video-sharing app Vine is being brought back, this time in what he described as a new "AI form".
- The original application, discontinued by Twitter almost nine years ago, was known for letting users post short clips that were a maximum of six seconds in length and attracted millions.
- This six-second long video format could be a good fit for AI generation, as current tools typically create short-form content while longer clips come with significantly increased production costs.
