Gemini app’s clunky UI may be getting a massive overhaul

Google is making a "huge investment" in a "UX 2.0" overhaul for the Gemini app, which includes developing a native macOS version. The upcoming changes aim to enhance the user experience with cleaner navigation, clearer entry points, and a more intuitive layout. The Android version has already introduced a refreshed homepage with a cleaner greeting banner, a darker background in dark mode, and reorganized action chips for easier navigation. Tools like “Create image,” “Deep Research,” and “Write anything” are now more accessible, and a “My Stuff” section allows users to revisit generated content. The native macOS app will improve file management and integration with system features, moving away from browser limitations.

‘We cloned Gmail, except you’re logged in as Epstein and can see his emails’ is the most impressively cursed tech project of the year

The 2018 text adventure game "You Are Jeff Bezos" highlights Jeff Bezos's net worth of 6 billion at the time, which has since surpassed 0 billion, prompting discussions on wealth distribution. Jmail is a new platform that allows users to explore over 2,000 emails related to Jeffrey Epstein in a mock Gmail interface, based on documents released by the US House Oversight Committee. Co-creators Walz and Luke Igel used AI technology for optical character recognition to make the emails accessible. Each email is linked to a legitimate document for transparency. Jmail includes a crowdsourced feature for users to highlight notable messages, with some emails receiving significant attention, such as inquiries about Trump and Denmark's financial status.
