YouTube Is Getting AI Overviews Too, and You Can Try Them Now

The tide rises, the sun sets, and Google pushes AI summaries onto yet another product. This time, it's YouTube that's getting the AI Overview treatment. The new feature will add "carousels" of clips that AI determines are relevant to the top of certain searches. For now, the feature is only available to a very (very) narrow set of users.It's a similar feature to the one you've probably seen in Google Search. Typically, if Google finds a YouTube video with a relevant portion to your search, it will present a highlighted clip that you can watch without leaving Google itself. These new YouTube AI carousels are populated with many of these relevant clips, and are paired with generative AI text summaries of the clips.How to turn on YouTube's AI overviews Currently, AI-powered carousels are a...

Coffee may help slow down ageing, boost longevity: Study

Love your morning cup of coffee? A new study has shown that it may not only energise you but also help slow down ageing and boost longevity. Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reduced risk of age-related diseases. However, the study led by researchers from Queen Mary University of London in the UK revealed how caffeine works inside human cells, and what exactly its connections are with nutrient and stress-responsive gene and protein networks. The researchers found that caffeine affects ageing by tapping into an ancient cellular energy system. They showed that caffeine works by activating an important system called AMPK -- a cellular fuel gauge that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans. “When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to h...

Diddy’s lawyer mocks sex trafficking case, says charges ‘badly exaggerated’ – National

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyer portrayed the hip-hop mogul on Friday as the victim of an overzealous prosecution that twisted his recreational drug use and swinger lifestyle into a racketeering conspiracy charge that could put him behind bars for life. In a closing argument, defence lawyer Marc Agnifilo mocked the government’s case and belittled the agents who seized hundreds of bottles of Astroglide lubricant and baby oil at his properties as he began a presentation expected to last several hours.“Way to go, fellas,” Agnifilo said of the agents.The lawyer said prosecutors had “badly exaggerated” evidence of the swinger lifestyle and threesomes to combine it with recreational drug use and call it a racketeering conspiracy.“He did not do the things he’s charged with. He didn’t do racketeering c...

100K defy Hungary’s ban, march in Budapest Pride event – National

Around 100,000 people defied a government ban and police orders on Saturday to march in what organizers called the largest LGBTQ+ Pride event in Hungary’s history in an open rebuke of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s government. Marchers gambled with potential police intervention and heavy fines to participate in the 30th annual Budapest Pride, which was outlawed by a law passed in March by Orbán’s right-wing populist governing party.The march began at Budapest City hall and wound through the city center before crossing the capital’s Erzsébet Bridge over the Danube River. Police diverted the crowd from its planned route to keep it separated from a small group of far-right counterprotesters, while members of Hungary’s LGBTQ+ community and large numbers of supporters danced to music and waved r...

Protest bubble zone laws coming for schools, places of worship: Fraser – National

Justice Minister Sean Fraser says the Liberal government will press ahead with plans for new criminal provisions against blocking access to places of worship, schools and community centres. The measures, promised during the recent federal election campaign, would also create a criminal offence of wilfully intimidating or threatening people attending events at these venues.The minister’s statement comes as civil libertarians point to existing provisions intended to curb such behaviour and push back against the idea of new measures that could infringe on freedom of expression and assembly. 2:50 Divided Toronto city council on ‘bubble zone’ by-law proposal ...

India’s antigen-wise immunisation coverage surpasses global averages: Centre

Even as the latest Lancet paper marked India among eight countries with a high burden of zero-dose children, those who had never received a routine childhood vaccine, the Union government on Saturday said that the country’s large population size, and high vaccination coverage rate must be considered when making such comparisons. The government noted that “India’s antigen-wise immunisation coverage surpasses global averages across all antigens”. In other words, the vaccination strategy deployed in India is targeted against antigens, which can trigger an immune response resisting pathogens (like a virus or bacteria). The global study, led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, US, showed that in 2023, more than half of the world’s 15.7 million ...
