    FIGURE WILL START `ALPHA TESTING' ITS HUMANOID ROBOT IN THE HOME IN   
   2025 (2 MINUTE READ) [7]    
      
    Figure plans to begin alpha testing its Figure 02 robot in the home   
   later this year. The project's timeline was accelerated thanks to the   
   company's 'generalist' Vision-Language-Action model, Helix. Helix is   
   designed to process both visual data and natural language input to   
   accelerate learning. It can orchestrate two robots working on a single   
   task in tandem.    
      
    GOOGLE'S SERGEY BRIN URGES WORKERS TO THE OFFICE `AT LEAST' EVERY   
   WEEKDAY (3 MINUTE READ) [11]    
      
    Sergey Brin, one of Google's co-founders, says that Google could be   
   the leader in artificial general intelligence if employees worked   
   harder. He recommends that employees attend the office at least every   
   weekday, saying that 60 hours a week is the sweet spot for   
   productivity. Brin returned to Google after ChatGPT's launch to help   
   the company navigate the difficult moment when it lost its advantage   
   in AI. Since his return, Google has reorganized its business,   
   rebranded its AI, and rolled out the technology across its popular apps.   
      
    ANTI-AGING PILL FOR DOGS CERTIFIED AS 'EFFECTIVE' BY FDA. BUT COULD   
   IT WORK FOR HUMANS, TOO? (3 MINUTE READ) [8]    
      
    Biotech startup Loyal has received a certification from the US Food   
   and Drug Administration (FDA) saying its anti-aging pill for dogs has   
   a reasonable expectation of efficacy. The pill still needs to be   
   certified by the FDA that it is safe for use and can be manufactured   
   at a greater scale before it can be prescribed by veterinarians. Loyal   
   plans to earn conditional approval from the FDA by the end of the year.   
      
    DEAR STUDENT: YES, AI IS HERE, YOU'RE SCREWED UNLESS YOU TAKE   
   ACTION... (21 MINUTE READ) [9]    
      
    AI will soon start having a large impact on software engineering.   
   Students should start learning fundamentals that universities   
   typically don't teach and obtain skills that are going to be highly   
   desirable to every employer. Developers need to learn how their work   
   directly translates to business value and build a public profile.   
   Software engineers will be fine, as long as they take action now.
