Google Turns Photos Into a Meme Tool 😐

Google Photos is adding a new AI feature called Me Meme that lets users create memes using their own photos.

• This is meant to keep users inside Google Photos instead of using external AI or meme apps.

• Google is using memes as a low-risk way to push Gemini AI to everyday users.

• Features that put users themselves into AI outputs tend to get higher engagement.

• The goal is habit building, not image quality or creative precision.

Yann LeCun Starts AMI Labs to Build World Models 🧠

Yann LeCun has launched a new startup called AMI Labs focused on world models instead of language models.

• The company is betting that language-first AI is unreliable for real-world use cases.

• World models aim to understand physics, causality, and real environments.

• Investors are showing interest even without a shipped product.

• This positions AMI as a long-term research-first company, not a consumer AI play.

Apple Will Launch a Gemini-Powered Siri 🤝

Apple is preparing to launch a new version of Siri that uses Google’s Gemini AI models.

• This is Apple acknowledging that its own AI stack was not ready.

• The first update focuses on completing tasks using personal data and screen context.

• Using Google’s cloud lets Apple move faster without rebuilding its AI foundation.

• Apple is defending its platform while outsourcing intelligence.
