The first TPU in space is a running a Google DeepMind Gemma 4 model. 🚀
Last book Demis Hassabis loved was When We Cease to Understand the World by Labatut. Interesting interview at the WSJ 2026 Innovator Awards.

With guaranteed income, workers focused on pay favour leisure and travel. Those focused on meaning are more likely to volunteer; those focused on status, to seek another job.

Worker motivations?
Meaning (33%), pay and benefits (26%), community (23%) and status (17%). People are attached to work for different reasons.

Willingness to quit a job??
About 20% of survey respondents would not leave their work, even if offered 100-120% of their salaries as guaranteed income. A hypothetical choice, but revealing.

What people value in their jobs?
Income comes first, but over 80% in each surveyed country also value purpose or fulfillment in their jobs. Belonging and learning matter too.

Prime Minister Mark Carney (@MarkJCarney) cites Demis Hassabis’s (@demishassabis) comparison: AI could have the impact of “a hundred industrial revolutions.” Carney says this moment will decide where AI is built, how it’s governed and whom it serves.
Life priorities.
In this survey of the UK, US, Denmark and India, careers rank alongside hobbies and country in importance, and above political views.
Work is a significant part of people’s lives. Will it remain the same in post-AGI world?

Insightful essay by Google DeepMind Institute about the purpose of work in AGI era.

Currently reading "The AGI Chronicles" by @kevinroose and it's full of little gems like this one. Apparently Demis Hassabis wanted to name Gemini "Titan", after the Greek gods, but Google's lawyers thought it sounded too aggressive 😂
Just 2 weeks after rolling out Gemini 4 Argon, Google announced Gemini 4 Carbon, their next frontier model. 🤯

Very excited to share Genie 4, our incredible interactive world model, bringing together real-time physics, reasoning, and audio! Simulations within simulations, makes you wonder just how deep the rabbit hole goes... I have a feeling we will be finding out soon enough...

Delighted to see the launch of the UK’s new AI Biosecurity Lab, which @GoogleDeepMind will partner with and support.
As life sciences enter a transformational era, it is essential for researchers, government, and industry to collectively strengthen our biological defences and guide these new capabilities responsibly.
Congratulations to @KanishkaNarayan and the entire team that has worked on making this a reality.
2/7 We're launching a £165m National AI Biosecurity Initiative, including £100m for a world-first AI Biosecurity Lab.
This will harness British scientific expertise and latest AI to detect biological threats and protect people from emerging risks.
As with our @AISecurityInst, I want the new AIBL to lead the world in capability.

Springer Nature and @GoogleDeepMind are partnering to co-design an AI peer review assistant, exploring how AI can help reviewers navigate manuscripts more effectively and focus their time on specialist scientific judgement.
