McKinsey Predicts AI Is Ready To Replace Half Of American Jobs
A recent McKinsey analysis shows current AI and robotics could automate 57 percent of U.S. work hours. While half of jobs are technically replaceable, the real value lies in redesigning work for human AI collaboration, which could unlock $2.9 trillion annually.
Details:
Jobs centered on drafting, info processing, and routine reasoning — paralegals, admin staff, programmers, warehouse workers — face the most automation risk. Roles requiring empathy, dexterity, or real-time judgment, like nursing or skilled maintenance, remain far safer
The shift is creating a hybrid workforce where humans focus more on interpretation and oversight. Workers in AI-exposed fields have seen a 13% employment drop, while experienced workers and those in physical trades remain more secure
Companies like Klarna, BT, and Clifford Chance are already using AI to raise efficiency while keeping or reducing headcount. Despite policy and cost challenges, businesses are moving to capture AI’s financial advantages
It is not all doom and gloom, as researchers argue that this revolution is also creating a wave of fresh roles, from product managers to safety supervisors who must tune and test these systems.

Perplexity AI
Perplexity Adds Memory to AI Assistants for Personalized Conversations
Perplexity added a memory feature that saves user preferences and past chats to provide more personalized, context-aware responses across its AI models, addressing LLM context limits.
Details:
The memory feature stores user context — preferences, past advice, travel plans, product tastes — so the assistant can deliver personalized answers without repeated input. It works more like human memory than simple model predictions
Users control the feature fully: they can turn it off, use incognito mode to block memory search, adjust data-retention settings, opt out of model-improvement data, and rely on encrypted storage
The memory layer works across Perplexity’s models so personalization persists when switching between specialized assistants; the rollout follows similar competitor moves
Perplexity’s memory aims to make conversational AI more continuous and useful by combining persistent, encrypted user context with user-controlled privacy settings and cross-model portability.

How to Use Gemini 3 to Build Interactive Simulations in Minutes
If you can describe it, Gemini 3 can probably simulate it. Whether you want to model physics, visualize data, or build small interactive tools, you can do it from a single prompt.
Launch Gemini 3
Go to the Gemini homepage, sign in, and the Gemini 3 chat interface will appear so you can work in the latest environment.
Pick right model
From the model selector, choose what fits your task:
Gemini 3 Pro for most reasoning and interactive projects
DeepThink for heavy logic and complex simulations (confirm availability in your region)
Decide what type of simulation
Before prompting, quickly define:
What system you want to simulate
What the user can change (inputs, sliders, buttons)
What they should see (graphs, visuals, states, results)
Write clear prompt
In the chat box, describe the goal, controls, and visuals.
For example:
"Build a 3D simulation of a solar system with realistic orbital mechanics"Run and inspect output
Preview or run the generated simulation, try all controls, and quickly check if it behaves as intended and is easy to use.
Use Explain to understand
Tap on Explain or ask follow ups like:
"Summarize how the main logic works in simple terms."
"Show me where the user inputs change the variables."
Use this to learn the structure and request small tweaks.
Refine and reuse for fresh projects
If something is off, ask Gemini 3 to adjust accuracy, visuals, or usability, then test again. Reuse the same workflow for other projects like small games, dashboards, or study tools by changing the prompt and goals.
Note: Clearly spell out inputs, outputs, target audience, and platform in your prompt so Gemini 3 can generate cleaner, more useful results.

AI Art Spotlight
Replace [OBJECT] with whatever object you want to appear in the photo:
A hyper-clean, surreal advertisement scene: a large sneaker sole steps down from the top-left corner, clearly visible with full tread detail and a soft shadow. From the sole, a stretchy, glossy, bubblegum-like strand pulls up a distorted, semi‑melted 3D structure shaped like [OBJECT].
The object appears to be made entirely of soft pink bubblegum, stretched and sagging like chewing gum when lifted, with smooth reflections, soft specular highlights, and elastic strands connecting the sole to the top of the structure.
Set against a minimal white–mint background with soft studio lighting. Ultra-clean product photography aesthetic, high clarity, and no noise. Strong sense of depth. No text. No branding. Perfectly centered composition emphasizing the surreal, melting gum object.Model: Nano Banana Pro
Prompt of the Day
Gemini 3 Pro Performance Boost Prompt
This is a comprehensive system prompt designed to transform Gemini 3 Pro into a methodical, highly deliberate reasoning agent. It enforces a rigorous nine-step planning framework that requires the model to thoroughly analyze logical dependencies, assess risks, explore hypotheses through abductive reasoning, evaluate outcomes, and incorporate all available information sources before taking any action.
