Welcome to the final Wednesday Screencaps of September and sorta my final Screencaps of the week as I prepare to head out of here for a couple of days to get in one last mini golf trip with friends before winter sets in. On one hand, it's nice to get out on the open road to see what the golf gods have in store for us. On the other hand, I know that once this 48-hour rendezvous is over, it's time to prepare for hunkering down. Sure, there will be random Sundays where it's 74 in November and I get out, but there's something about that energy that runs through the body over a golf trip.

First thing you should do is make sure Find Hub is enabled. You can do that by downloading and setting up the Find Hub app or going to Settings Google All services Find Hub. After that, set Gemini as your device's assistant by going to the Google app and then tapping on your profile icon at the top right corner of the screen. From there, go to Gemini or Google Assistant Digital assistants from Google. Choose Gemini as the default.

Google's main pitch for the Home speaker is a way to get Gemini off your phone and into your house, serving as a voice-enabled assistant like the Google Assistant before it. Smart home controls are a big part of the equation -- especially since Google now sells a few different subscriptions that add features like sound detection or the ability to voice-search your video history. Fortunately, if your main concern is multi-room music, no subscription is needed beyond one to your music service of choice. Google Home works with all the expected players like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music and a few others. Unsurprisingly, everything you want to do with the Google Home speaker is set up in the recently-redesigned Google Home app.

Google's Gemini Can Now Make Calls for You on Pixel Phones Call for Me--a feature that's exclusive to the Pixel 11 series--gives robocalls a new meaning. Google has been trying to have its AI assistant make phone calls on your behalf for almost 10 years. It enabled the now-defunct Google Assistant to call restaurants and book tables . That service was shuttered a few years ago, but now comes round two, powered by modern large language models . On Thursday, Google announced Call for Me, an experimental beta feature exclusive to its latest Pixel 11 smartphones in the US (and in English).

I Built AI Clones of My Coworkers. Brian Bot loved talking about improv, while Sophie Bot wouldn't stop calling me "big dog." Welcome to the future of work. When I decided to create artificial intelligence clones of my editors, my intentions were pure: I just wanted them to think I was good at my job. AI assistants are suddenly everywhere in the workplace. Each week, my inbox is flooded with press releases about digital workers, and CEOs brag about how robot helpers will soon dominate their workforces. Then there are the stories I hear about people who build AI clones of their bosses, using them to spit-shine every idea, message, or draft before sending it over to their actual human supervisors. The goal seems to be productivity and optimization: If employees can cheaply and quickly improve their output, their job performance--and the performance of their employers--will be better for it.

Apple lovers have long enjoyed seamless connectivity between their iPhones and Macs. Apple's hardware synergy means you can launch iPhone apps right from the macOS desktop, respond to texts without picking up your iPhone, and even copy text on one platform and paste it on the other. That kind of seamless connectivity does not natively exist for Android phone owners at the operating system level. Google's trying to change that with Googlebooks, a new class of laptop. First teased in May, the company finally shared more details about the new OS at a media-only event in New York City last week.

Google's newest take on the laptop form factor makes sense for some users, but only if they use an Android phone for most of their digital life. How much time do you spend on your phone? Depending on a series of factors, there's a pretty decent chance that you use it more often than your laptop or desktop PC, especially if you take work out of the equation. If so, you're the kind of person for whom a Googlebook laptop makes sense. At least if that phone is Android.

Google's signature AI agent did something it probably shouldn't have, and Google opted not to mention it for months.

Gemini escaped its testing environment, got access to the internet and hacked into three companies, Google has admitted to The Wall Street Journal. That scenario probably sounds familiar to you at this point, if you've even just glanced at AI news in recent months. Like what happened to OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta, Gemini also gained access to the internet due to a misconfiguration in its testing environment by Irregular, the Israeli startup working with all four companies to assess their AI models. The incidents occurred in May, before OpenAI's models broke into Hugging Face, while testing the model's cybersecurity capabilities. Google told the Journal that the model was given the goal of obtaining information from a fictional company during testing, and it just so happened that a real company had the same name. The model then discovered the loophole in its testing system, which it took advantage of to access the internet.
