Germany's media regulator says Google is a publisher

It's a real twist to longstanding convention. If it's generating AI summaries, then it's creating content, and that makes it a publisher, and with that comes all the liability of being a publisher too.

In the USA, search engines and platforms get immunity if they are hosting other people's content. Facebook isn't in control of what people post. Google is just showing search results. Well, that is until now. And if they're showing that AI generated output front and centre on search, then they need to be responsible for its accuracy. Google plans to appeal. They said in a statement that AI summaries enhance the search experience – “They help users discover new content and ⁠ask follow-up questions."

Your AI agent can now use your passwords... securely

1Password has a new plugin for Claude which allows the AI agent to login as you more easily. It’s purpose built so that the data is never saved to Claude's memory or exposed to the model. After autofill, 1Password even does a double check that nothing was copied. It's just one of the new products they're building to make handing over your access to an agent more seamless but also secure. For example, when an agent takes control of your browser, the 1Password autofill extension is disabled.

And which is the most valuable company in the world...?

That changed today (but will it stay that way by close?) – Apple overtaking Nvidia, topping out at $4.9 trillion dollars.
