🤖 Google Wins The Week

PLUS: OpenAI buys iPhone architect’s startup for $6.4bn

Happy Memorial Day!

Oh boy, let me tell you, last week was like the Super Bowl of AI for 2025! I’m going to need a month-long vacation just to tinker with all the shiny new updates. Google decided to throw a party at Google IO and dropped over 100 updates like they were Oprah handing out cars. Meanwhile, Claude 4 made its grand entrance, and OpenAI went on a shopping spree, snapping up Jony Ive’s new hardware venture. You know, the guy who designed the iPhone? Yeah, him. Apparently, they’re cooking up the next gadget we’ll be glued to, set to hit the shelves in 2026. Oh, and Google casually unveiled VEO 3, a video generator that spits out movie-quality clips with sound like it’s no big deal. Mind-blowing, right? Anyway, while I’m busy picking my jaw up off the floor, here’s a nifty prompt I stumbled upon this week.:

PROMPT: I feel mentally cluttered with too many thoughts, tasks, and worries. Help me organize everything using the Eisenhower Matrix. Ask me what’s on my mind, and then sort it into: - Urgent and important - Important but not urgent - Urgent but not important - Neither (should be eliminated or ignored) Then suggest what I should do next, delegate, or drop to declutter my mental space.

Enjoy!
