Google Gemini’s new “Extensions” feature allows users to access external tools such as YouTube to chat with videos and get answers for free. Step-by-step: 1. Visit Google’s Gemini website. If Gemini is not available in your country, you’ll need to use a US-based VPN. 2. Click on the gear icon located on the bottom-left, select Extensions, and turn on the YouTube one. 3. Go back to the Chat interface and start your prompt using the following format: “@youtube Summarize the following video [Youtube URL]” 4. Try asking Gemini to explain advanced concepts discussed in a video, generating concrete examples, creating practice questions, and even asking for code snippets.

I had to take a little break for a few days and get some work done outside now that the weather has been nicer here. I also felt overwhelmed. I get overwhelmed easily, but I was wondering what you guys do when you get overwhelmed? I tend to block out all social media, which I really don't do much of, not check emails, but I know I will have to eventually. I kind of withdraw from everything and while I don't like doing this, and neither does my husband, I can't help it. I get so involved and into things and then just get so overwhelmed and feel like I have no choice but to withdraw myself from everything.

Amazon just announced that Q, the company’s AI-powered assistant for businesses and developers, is now available — bringing advanced capabilities to enterprise clients. The details: - Q Developer offers industry-leading code generation, testing, debugging, reasoning, and agents for step-by-step planning. - Q Business connects to company data repositories, enabling users to easily get answers, summarize info, analyze trends, and interact with enterprise data. - A new Q Apps feature allows non-technical users to create custom AI applications using natural language prompts from company data. - AWS VP Dr. Swami Sivasubramanian said Q can help employees become ‘over 80% more productive’ at their jobs. Why it matters: Amazon may not be the first name that comes to mind in the AI race, but the tech giant's vast resources and extensive reach make it well-positioned to help bring AI to the masses — and fundamentally transform how work gets done across industries.

I've seen some posts on FB where AI was used to create images that look like they are coming at you/overlapping the text part of the posts (imagine ocean waves lapping at the beach and bleeding over into the text box if that helps envision what I am talking about). The person talking about this has not shared the name of the software - whether that is because he is using this as a teaser to get people to sign up for his classes or whether it's a program not yet available to the public, I don't know. Is anyone here familiar with software that might do what I'm talking about? (If I described it well enough for you to figure out what I mean, LOL)
