Google's Discover page now summarizes news with AI
Ammon News - Google is rolling out AI-generated summaries directly within Discover, its personalized news feed nestled within the Google Search app. TechCrunch reports that some users in the US are seeing Discover cards on iOS and Android that provide the new summaries in place of a headline and logo from a single publisher, similar to how AI Overviews appear at the top of results in Search. It acts to further obscure news sources at a time when search traffic to publishers is disappearing. The AI summaries in Discover display overlapping icons in the top-left corner, indicating the number of cited stories. Tapping the icons reveals a 'More' sheet with all the contributing articles. Users get a quick three-line preview before needing to tap 'See more' to expand the summary. A prominent warning is displayed underneath the text disclosing that the summaries are generated with AI, 'which can make mistakes.' This feature appears to have been in development for a while. Google bug hunter AndellDam found that trending cards with AI Overview-like summaries were being tested on Google Discover in June. A Google spokesperson confirmed to TechCrunch that this is not a test, but a US launch on iOS and Android. Google told the publication that the feature will focus on trending lifestyle topics like sports and entertainment, and aims to make it easier for people to decide what pages they want to visit. This is the latest of several AI features Google has been toying with that discourage users from clicking on web links, following AI Overviews, Audio Overviews, and AI Mode being tested in Search. This is cause for concern across the publishing industry, which has seen a dramatic fall in website traffic and referrals now that AI is pulling information out of articles and negating the need for readers to click through to original sources. That loss of traffic and revenue from Google Zero has already contributed to killing sites like AnandTech, Giant Freakin Robot, Laptop Mag, and Buzzfeed News — reducing the pool that Google can feed to its AI.

OpenAI working on payment checkout system within ChatGPT
Ammon News - OpenAI is planning to take a cut from online product sales made through ChatGPT by integrating a payment checkout system into the chatbot, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing multiple people familiar with the proposals. Merchants that fulfill orders through the payment system will pay a commission to OpenAI, the report said. The move would allow OpenAI to tap a new source of revenue, taking advantage of the heavy user traffic on ChatGPT, in addition to its traditional subscription model. The checkout feature is still in development, but OpenAI and partners such as e-commerce platform Shopify have been presenting early versions of the system to brands and discussing financial terms, the report said. OpenAI declined to comment and Shopify did not respond to a request for comment. The two companies had announced a partnership earlier this year, shortly after the AI startup launched an enhanced shopping feature to better display products and reviews, the report added. The Sam Altman-led company currently displays suggested products on ChatGPT through links that take users to online retailers' websites. OpenAI said earlier this year that its annualized revenue run rate surged to $10 billion as of June, up from $5.5 billion in December 2024. The company, however, lost around $5 billion last year.

Gold prices slip as dollar firms, Trump eases Powell uncertainty
Ammon News - Gold prices dipped on Thursday, pressured by a firmer dollar and easing market tensions after U.S. President Donald Trump said it was "highly unlikely" he would dismiss Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Spot gold was down 0.2% at $3,340.79 per ounce, as of 0400 GMT. U.S. gold futures fell 0.4% to $3,347.10. The dollar index edged 0.1% higher against its rivals, making greenback-priced bullion more expensive for other currency holders. "Gold dropped $3,340/oz as the U.S. dollar regained ground following eased uncertainty over the Federal Reserve chair's position" said Jigar Trivedi, senior commodity analyst at Reliance Securities. Trump is open to the idea of firing Fed's Powell, a source told Reuters on Wednesday. However, Trump said on Wednesday that he is not planning to fire Powell, but kept the door open to the possibility and renewed his criticism of the central bank chief for not lowering interest rates. SPDR Gold Trust , the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, said its holdings rose 0.33% to 950.79 tons on Wednesday from 947.64 tons in the prior session. Elsewhere, spot silver edged 0.1% higher to $37.98 per ounce. Platinum rose 0.2% to $1,419.67 and palladium nudged 0.1% lower to $1,230.14. Reuters
