The company is expanding its AI search features and       testing a more substantial change in the form of AI Mode - a version       of Google that will only show AI results. Google insists that helping       people discover content online remains central to its approach, but AI       Mode won't show organic results - it is designed to operate in a       conversational way, so users will have to refine their search or ask       follow-up questions. The experimental feature is only available for       Google One AI Premium subscribers.                THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS A.G.I. IS COMING (140 MINUTE READ) [21]                Many experts, including those in government, believe that       transformational artificial intelligence will be coming in the next       two to three years.                ADVANCED ROBOTIC SURGERIES ARE MINIMALLY INVASIVE, HELPING PATIENTS       HEAL FASTER (5 MINUTE READ) [8]                Robot surgeries account for around 22% of surgeries nowadays. The       method offers less bleeding, less time in the hospital, and faster       recovery time with less pain. These robots are machines operated by       highly trained and experienced surgeons that remotely operate arms       that hold tiny surgical instruments. Using robots allows surgeons to       comfortably maneuver in places that are otherwise quite restrictive.       The technology is not only becoming more widespread, it is also       becoming more advanced - it may be possible one day to have robots       operating independently.                A STUDENT USED AI TO BEAT AMAZON'S BRUTAL TECHNICAL INTERVIEW. HE GOT       AN OFFER AND SOMEONE TATTLED TO HIS UNIVERSITY (6 MINUTE READ) [13]                Columbia University student Roy Lee managed to land internships at       Amazon, Meta, and TikTok using a simple AI program. He had originally       planned to get a degree to work in Big Tech, but training for       technical interviews killed his passion for the job, which led him to       create the program. Columbia University has scheduled a disciplinary       hearing for Lee's stunt, but he will not be attending - Lee plans to       leave the university, saying that the program he built is proof that       the jobs Big Tech are offering are becoming obsolete.               Links:       ------       [5] https://arstechnica.com/google/2025/03/google-is-expanding-ai-overviews-and       -testing-ai-only-search-results/?utm_source=tldrnewsletter       [8] https://www.discovermagazine.com/technology/advanced-robotic-surgeries-are-       minimally-invasive-helping-patients-heal?utm_source=tldrnewsletter       [13] https://gizmodo.com/a-student-used-ai-to-beat-amazons-brutal-technical-int       erview-he-got-an-offer-and-someone-tattled-to-his-university-2000571562?utm_sou       rce=tldrnewsletter       [21] https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-ben-buchanan       .html?unlocked_article_code=1.104.soqy.dkycdUl98_7v&smid=url-share&utm_source=t       ldrnewsletter               -- https://tldr.tech/tech              $$       --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux        * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/305 153/7715 154/110 218/700 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 111 114 206 300 307 317 400 426 428 470 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 705 266/512 291/111 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 460/58 712/848 902/26 2320/0 105 3634/12 5075/35       PATH: 2320/105 229/426           |
