2. **TECH - Google Docs AI:** Google adds AI audio summarization to Docs using Gemini (The Verge)

3. **AI - AI agents hiring humans:** AI agents are hiring human "meatspace workers" through RentAHuman.ai, including scientists (Nature)

4. **GLOBAL - Trump tech security:** Democratic lawmakers slam Trump admin for shelving tech security measures aimed at Beijing (Reuters)

13. **SCIENCE - AI slop:** How AI slop is causing crisis in computer science (Nature)

14. **SCIENCE - Social media teens:** Is social media addictive for teens? US courts wade into scientific debate (Nature)

15. **MARKETS - Crypto:** I see the crypto market data, with a total market cap of $2.88T reflecting a slight decline. Notable mentions include the UAE's significant investment in a Trump-related crypto venture and the ongoing SEC discussions about crypto regulations.
