Genie 3 lets you step into AI-generated worlds in real time

Google DeepMind just unveiled Genie 3 — their most advanced world model yet.
It doesn’t just generate video. It creates fully interactive environments, on demand.
Type a prompt, and Genie 3 creates a navigable world at 24 FPS in 720p.
It's not pre-renderedyou're walking through an AI's imagination, live.
These environments remain physically and visually consistent for minutes.
You can change the world on the fly with textweather, terrain, even creatures.
The model blends realism, fiction, and physics: from volcanic trails to flying jellyfish.
Agents trained in Genie 3 can pursue complex, multi-step goals across time.
It's a leap toward AGI and a sandbox for embodied intelligence to learn and adapt.
Genie 3 isn’t just about graphics or interactivity. It’s about simulation as a new substrate where ideas can be tested, agents can train, and creativity isn’t limited by reality. The question is: what happens when these worlds feel more coherent than our own?
Cloudflare says Perplexity is ignoring anti-scraping rules

Perplexity is back in the spotlight not for its product, but for how it’s building it. Cloudflare just accused the AI startup of scraping sites that explicitly opted out.
Here’s everything you need to know:
Cloudflare claims Perplexity is bypassing Robots.txt and masking its bot identity.
The company allegedly used Chrome-like signals to sneak past scraping blocks.
Cloudflare says this happened across “millions of requests per day.”
Perplexity denies the charges, calling the blog post a “sales pitch.”
This isn’t the first time: Wired and others previously flagged similar issues.
Cloudflare has now de-listed Perplexity’s bots and added blocking mechanisms.
It’s part of a broader trend, publishers are pushing back against unauthorized AI training.
The future of AI hinges on where and how it gets its data. If companies like Perplexity can’t play by the rules or worse, deny them, they risk undermining trust at the exact moment it matters most.
Global M&A is booming again and it’s not just about size

Global M&A has hit $2.6 trillion so far in 2025, the highest since the pandemic’s dealmaking surge. But this rebound isn’t driven by FOMO, it’s powered by a clear shift in priorities.
Here’s everything you need to know:
Corporate boards are chasing growth again, not just survival or cost-cutting.
U.S. megadeals (like Union Pacific’s $85B Norfolk Southern bid) are setting the pace.
AI is no longer just hype, it’s now a trigger for major funding and acquisitions.
Private equity is back, with firms like Sycamore and KKR betting big.
Tech and data infrastructure, not healthcare, are leading the takeover charts.
Europe’s biggest deal? Palo Alto buying CyberArk for $25B, driven by cybersecurity demand.
Executives seem more comfortable with today’s risks than last year’s unknowns.
This M&A rebound reflects a deeper confidence in AI, regulation, and macro stability. But the real signal isn’t in the headlines, it’s in how deal logic is shifting from defensive to offensive. That’s worth watching.
The chatbot app is turning itself into a social network

CC: Character AI
Character. AI is no longer just a place to talk to bots. With its new in-app social feed, it's trying to become your next entertainment rabbit hole powered entirely by AI.
Here’s everything you need to know:
Users can now post videos, share chat snippets, and showcase their AI characters.
The new feed supports livestreams where bots debate each other surreal but real.
AvatarFX, Character. AI’s video model, lets users create short clips from text or images.
The goal? Blur the line between content consumer and creator.
CEO Karandeep Singh says users can now “take the story forward” with AI.
This follows a trend: apps like Pika are blending social + generative AI.
It’s less about utility now, more about AI as entertainment and community.
This move isn’t about copying TikTok, it’s about reimagining what user-generated content looks like in an AI-native world. The most engaging creators of the future might not be human at all.
