Google Turns Browser Tabs Into Custom Apps

Google Labs launched Disco, an experimental browser that uses Gemini 3 to turn open tabs into working applications. The first feature, GenTabs, reads your tabs and creates interactive tools without requiring any code.

• GenTabs analyzes open tabs to understand your current task. You describe what you need in plain language, and it builds a custom app.

• Planning a trip to Japan creates an interactive travel planner that pulls information from your tabs. Researching meal plans generates a meal planning tool that links back to original sources.

• Disco is available through a waitlist on macOS. Google Labs is testing with a limited group before considering integration into existing products.

• Google designed this to solve tab overload. Instead of switching between dozens of tabs to complete a task, Disco creates a single interface that brings everything together.

Google's Disco uses Gemini 3 to turn your messy browser tabs into actual working apps, which could finally solve tab overload if it doesn't end up in the Google graveyard like most Labs experiments.

Grok Chatbot Spreads Fake News About Shooting

Elon Musk's AI assistant Grok repeatedly spread false information about a Bondi Beach mass shooting . The chatbot misidentified heroes, questioned real evidence, and mixed up facts with fiction.

• Grok wrongly claimed the bystander who disarmed a gunman was an Israeli hostage instead of 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed

• In another response, it invented a fictional person named Edward Crabtree as the actual hero

• The chatbot questioned the authenticity of verified photos and videos showing al Ahmed's brave actions

• One response bizarrely referenced Israeli-Palestinian issues that had zero relevance to the incident

• Grok later corrected some errors, acknowledging the "misunderstanding" came from viral misinformation and possibly AI-generated fake news sites

When AI chatbots rush to respond to breaking news, they become amplification machines for garbage.

Personal take: AI assistants will get faster and cheaper, but unless they're built with truth verification as the core feature, we're heading toward an internet where nobody can trust anything anymore.
