  1. Musk says AI and robots are the only way to solve US debt

    Speaking on biographer Walter Isaacson's new podcast The Builders, Musk said the only way to solve the US national debt is with AI and robots, and that spending cuts alone will not get there. According to Axios, he said his time running DOGE showed the government cannot fix the deficit from the inside, and that almost no one in power, including the White House, Congress and the courts, truly wants to cut spending. He also said he stayed in Washington too long—four months instead of one or two—and should have returned to focus on AI sooner; Huxiu's account adds context on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, an Anthropic economic scenario and Congressional Budget Office deficit projections.

  2. Google's News AI pilot expands to 400+ publications, adding CNN, FT, Axios and Forbes

    Google said more than 400 publications worldwide now take part in its News AI pilot, with new partners including CNN, the Financial Times, Axios and Forbes. Launched last December, the program pays publishers to license content used to test experimental AI features in Google News, such as AI-generated "story previews" and summaries on a publisher's page, plus an AI audio briefing in the Google News app; Google labels the copy as AI-generated and warns it may include mistakes. This round also brought in US local outlets such as the Post and Courier, Oil City News, Shaw Media and the Texas Tribune. Google declined to share deal terms and said the pilot does not pay based on how much content contributes to an AI answer, a model it says belongs to a separate program for AI Overviews, AI Mode and Gemini.

  3. Google pushes inline links higher in AI Mode and AI Overviews

    Google announced on October 15 a set of updates to its AI-powered Search experiences, aimed at making source links easier to find. Inline links will now appear higher up in AI Mode and AI Overviews responses more frequently, and the links at the end of AI answers get a more clickable design with image thumbnails. Carousels for developing topics and Preferred Sources are expanding to more regions and languages after launching earlier this year, with Google saying Preferred Sources usage has grown 7x since then. Google is also testing a dedicated section at the top of AI responses showing the "one or two official places" to complete a task with context on why each link is useful, plus clickable creator and publisher names on video results that lead to their Search profiles. One report says publishers in the News AI pilot now exceed 400, with Axios, CNN and the Financial Times among recent additions.
