Pretty sure they weren’t meant to be there anyway, but only gone and got themselves bogged, roh roh as Scooby would say.

A student taking an online quiz sees a button appear in their Chrome browser: "homework help." Soon, Google's artificial intelligence has read the question on-screen and suggests "choice B" as the answer. The temptation to cheat was suddenly just two clicks away Sept. 2, when Google quietly added a "homework help" button to Chrome, the world's most popular web browser. The button has been appearing automatically on the kinds of course websites used by the majority of American college students and many high-schoolers, too. Pressing it launches Google Lens, a service that reads what's on the page and can provide an "AI Overview" answer to questions — including during tests.
Educators I've spoken with are alarmed. Schools including Emory University, the University of Alabama, the University of California at Los Angeles and the University of California at Berkeley have alerted faculty how the button appears in the URL box of course sites and their limited ability to control it.
Chrome's cheating tool exemplifies Big Tech's continuing gold rush approach to AI: launch first, consider consequences later and let society clean up the mess. "Google is undermining academic integrity by shoving AI in students' faces during exams," says Ian Linkletter, a librarian at the British Columbia Institute of Technology who first flagged the issue to me. "Google is trying to make instructors give up on regulating AI in their classroom, and it might work. Google Chrome has the market share to change student behavior, and it appears this is the goal."
Several days after I contacted Google about the issue, the company told me it had temporarily paused the homework help button — but also didn't commit to keeping it off. "Students have told us they value tools that help them learn and understand things visually, so we're running tests offering an easier way to access Lens while browsing," Google spokesman Craig Ewer said in a statement.

WASHINGTON (ANP) - De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump heeft zijn minister van Justitie Pam Bondi zaterdag via sociale media opgedragen zijn politieke vijanden te vervolgen. In een post op Truth Social met de aanhef "Pam" zei hij: "We kunnen niet langer wachten, er moet nu gerechtigheid komen."
In het bericht noemt Trump specifiek de Californische senator Adam Schiff, New Yorkse procureur-generaal Letitia James en voormalig FBI-directeur James Comey. Schiff leidde als lid van het Huis van Afgevaardigden de eerste afzettingsprocedure tegen Trump. James spande in 2022 een civiele fraudezaak aan tegen Trump en Comey leidde het onderzoek naar mogelijke banden tussen Trump en Rusland.
In de post stelt de president ook dat prominente aanklager Erik Siebert vrijdag niet is opgestapt, maar is ontslagen. Siebert botste met Trump over zijn weigering om James en Comey aan te klagen. Trump maakte zaterdag bekend Lindsey Halligan, die eerder optrad als zijn advocaat en tegenwoordig in het Witte Huis werkt, voor te dragen als opvolger van Siebert.
