🚀 Google Drops a Free AI Coding Tool

Google just made a major power move in the AI coding assistant game. Say hello to Gemini Code Assist for individuals, a free AI coding sidekick that absolutely dwarfs GitHub Copilot’s free tier. If you code, this one’s worth paying attention to.

🔎 Why is this a big deal?

• Massive Usage Cap: 180,000 code completions per month (that’s 90x more than Copilot’s free plan).

• Smarter Debugging: Chat with it in natural language to fix bugs, complete code, or get explanations.

• Big Brain Memory: 128,000-token context window—over 4x the competition, meaning it remembers way more of your code.

• Seamless Integration: Works with VS Code, JetBrains, and more.

• Free GitHub AI Reviewer: Automatically scans pull requests for bugs and suggests improvements.

🌍 The Bigger Picture

Google’s been selling Gemini Code Assist to enterprises, but now it's gunning for the masses. The strategy? Get devs hooked early, then reel them into the paid tiers later. Smart.

Meanwhile, the AI coding space is heating up: GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q Developer, Anthropic’s Claude Code—everyone wants a piece of the action. Google’s bet? Win with volume and value.

👩🏻‍💻 If you’re coding, you should try this. The free limits are so high, even pro developers will struggle to max them out. Whether you're debugging, learning, or just automating the boring stuff, Gemini Code Assist might just become your new best friend.

⭐ Silent Album Protests AI Laws

Imagine opening Spotify and pressing play, only to be met with... absolute silence. No, your headphones didn’t die—this is the latest protest from over 1,000 musicians, including icons like Kate Bush, Annie Lennox, and Cat Stevens.

🎵 The Sound of Resistance

In a move as dramatic as an encore that never arrives, these artists released a 12-track album titled Is This What We Want?—and every single track is pure silence. The goal? To send a deafening message to the UK government about proposed copyright changes that would allow AI companies to freely train on music without permission (unless artists proactively opt out).

🔍 Why It Matters:

• 🎤 The proposed law shifts the burden onto artists to “opt out” of AI training, making it harder to control how their work is used.

• 💰 The UK music industry contributed £7.6 billion to the economy last year. Musicians argue that letting AI exploit their work for free threatens their livelihoods.

• 📝 A public consultation on the law closed this week, and artists hope their silent stand makes enough noise to be heard.

📜 The Tracklist Says It All

Each track title forms a bold message: The British government must not legalise music theft to benefit AI companies. Subtle? Not at all. Effective? We’ll see.

🤯 Trump’s AI Gaza Video Sparks Controversy

Donald Trump has entered his AI video era—and it’s just as bizarre as you’d expect. This week, he shared a wildly surreal, AI-generated clip on Truth Social, imagining a futuristic, ultra-luxurious "Trump Gaza."

Yes, really.

🎥 The 34-second clip starts with war-torn Gaza, then abruptly transforms into a Dubai-esque metropolis filled with golden Trump statues, towering beachfront skyscrapers, and an AI-generated Elon Musk dining and dancing as money rains from the sky. As if that wasn’t enough, bearded belly dancers twirl dramatically in the background, completing the surreal spectacle. 

🎉 The grand finale? A rotund, AI-generated Trump in swim shorts, lounging poolside with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, both sipping drinks beside what appears to be a hotel or high-rise apartments in the background.

😂 The internet is having a field a field day. Critics called it “unhinged,” with many mocking the bizarre concept and over-the-top spectacle. Some even compared it to the kind of glossy, exaggerated vision found in dystopian fiction.

👀 The video wasn’t just a fever dream. It hints at Trump’s actual proposal: forcibly relocating Palestinians and turning Gaza into a resort city. Unsurprisingly, backlash from Middle Eastern leaders and social media was swift and fierce.

🔑 Takeaway

Whether this was a misguided stunt or just Trump playing around with AI, one thing’s clear—AI-generated propaganda is getting weirder by the day. And if this is what AI-generated politics looks like, we might be in for a very strange future.
