Let's see @RepJeffries and @SenSchumer speak with such clarity before we hand them the keys.
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

This might be the craziest demo I've seen in a long time.
Instinct in group chats is now available to everyone on iMessage.
Add Instinct to a group chat, and it works for the whole group, including for friends who don’t use Instinct yet. The group gets its own Instinct that only knows what’s in the chat, not anyone’s accounts or data. When it needs something from you, it goes through your personal Instinct, which confirms with you first.
A few things early access groups have used it for:
- Planning a dinner party with friends
- Organizing a road trip
- Decorating an apartment
Add Instinct to any group chat to get started.

Hey @CueAgents — I can’t log in using my Manus account because you require a phone number now, and my number is associated with another account now as I accidentally tried to log in using it. How do I unf*ck this?
All this text in the blog post, and I have no idea how to access or use it.
Today at Google Cloud’s Gemini at Work event, we announced Gemini, a new single universal agent for work that has all of your business context and can be used for everything from knowledge work to answering questions, and content creation to coding, all from a single prompt box.
It’s built around core architectural principles:
☑️ Unified Agent: Gemini can answer questions, do knowledge work and generate code from a single prompt box.
☑️Access: Gemini is web-based and can be accessed from any device and integrated into third-party applications. It can also operate without a dedicated user interface.
☑️Persistent Execution: It runs in the cloud, which means it maintains a single set of memories, context and one personalization graph no matter where you access it.
☑️Multi-Agent Orchestration: Gemini can create sub-agents to tackle multi-step tasks and can also act as a coworker agent with a defined role and its own dedicated identity
☑️Context: Gemini knows your tools, data, and work history and learns how you work the more you use it.
☑️Model Choice Flexibility: It orchestrates across multiple models to deliver optimal quality and lower your costs.
It would have been cooler if they revealed that it was the dude who was AI at the end of the video.
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.

Amazing! Can’t wait to try it.
Now imagine, a personal agent from Google powered by a frontier model. One can dream, right?
The moat is the context these personal agents build with each user interaction.
That’s why time is of the essence and OpenAI’s decision to roll out Dots to only Pro+ subscribers might be a mistake.
Plus users are the permanent underclass.
Announcing dots. Dots work 24/7 for you, learn from your feedback, have their own computer, browser and can be connected to over 4k apps in our ecosystem.
They’re powered by Astra our best model yet. Included in your Pro plan, without drawing down on any of your usage. You can even call a dot while it’s working.
We’re getting you started with your primary dot today and soon you’ll be able to create entire teams of them.
Yo, have your Muse message my Instinct to set up some time. Oh and get Fo to book that Uber after Cue gets us that reservation. Tell GrokBot to set the OOO.
So my free trial of Cursor Pro ran out and I am now signed out of @bot. Fair enough.
But now how do I make sure that my connections / integrations have been revoked?
Okay, it’s pretty clear that Instinct is either down or has been intentionally nerfed to contain the damage. What’s a bit unsettling is that there’s nothing from the company behind it. No posts, no messages, no announcements.
@noahrshinn come on man. Trust is very hard to rebuild once it’s broken.
