Google 2.0

PRESENTED BY BUTCHERBOX

Happy Wednesday, Future Party. Today, we’re diving into two stories that prove we may all soon need a tech glossary just to understand how to use Google or trade stocks. We’ll do our best to break it all down… so you can explain it to your parents, who are probably even more confused.

Google is rolling out AI features across its entire business that could transform how customers interact with its tools.

The Big Picture: Google has been working on AI for years, but suddenly found itself facing new competition as startups like OpenAI and Anthropic seemed to emerge out of nowhere. The company knows it has the capital and customer base to lead the industry, so it’s flooding the zone with new tools to box out competitors.

Behind The Code: At its annual I/O developer conference, Google CEO Sundar Pichai wanted to have a half-dozen “iPhone moments.”

Final Generation: Google’s new tools are sure to skyrocket AI usage across the board, which may explain why the company is reportedly in talks with SpaceX to put data centers in orbit. In fact, Google already processes a mind-boggling amount of AI tokens. Pichai told I/O attendees that the company is currently processing 3.2 quadrillion tokens per month. A quadrillion is a 1 followed by 15 zeroes.

We’re not exactly sure what that many tokens adds up to in practice, but it’s safe to say it’s a lot.

The Future: Considering that nearly everyone already uses Google, the company could lead mass AI adoption simply because it offers the least friction for most users to give it a try.

The SEC is set to officially allow firms to offer third-party digital versions of securities on crypto platforms.

Why It Hits: Stocks, bonds, and other securities are already being traded on the blockchain as exchanges like the NYSE and Nasdaq embrace tokenization, making it easier for companies to issue them. The SEC’s latest moves, led by Chairman Paul Atkins, show that the crypto-ization of finance and the expansion of retail investing are reshaping public markets.

Between The Trades: According to Bloomberg, the SEC wants stocks to operate a little more like the Wild West.

But issuers will still need to ensure that holders of these tokens receive the same benefits as traditional stockholders, including voting rights and dividends.

Final Investment: By embracing third-party securities on decentralized finance platforms (DeFi), the SEC is essentially launching a public-market version of the private secondary-share market for the world’s biggest companies — one that mirrors the performance of the stocks those companies actually issue. It’s the Russian nesting doll of finance… except each doll is in someone else’s hands.

While some financial experts praise these tokens for potentially making blue-chip investing even more accessible, others worry they could further “fragment” the market — making it less transparent, manageable, and safe.

Prediction: Mirroring the dust-up at Anthropic last week, expect the third-party tokenization of major public companies to create entirely new headaches when it comes to voting on truly consequential issues — like mergers or CEO pay packages.

Most skincare only treats what you can see on the surface. But longevity research suggests that visible aging actually starts deeper within the skin — at the cellular level.

That’s where a molecule called NAD+ comes in. It helps repair cellular damage and maintain healthy skin function, but its levels naturally decline with age.

Created by PhDs from Harvard and MIT, Aramore is the first clinically proven skincare brand designed to boost NAD+ in skin cells. Its patented technology delivers NAD+ precursors directly to the skin’s basal layer to support smoother texture, brighter-looking skin, and fewer fine lines.

Every formula is also fragrance-free, sulfate-free, and paraben-free. And right now, the brand’s biggest sale of the summer is happening.

45.1% of you voted Only if a lot was at stake in yesterday’s poll: If you were involved in a major workplace dispute, would you consider pursuing legal action?

“Why would anyone not ‘consider’?”

“If workers fail to take action, then things will get worse, and they have no one to blame but themselves.”

“Was commanded to perform medical duties for which I was not licensed — was fired. Got unemployment, then filed through the state and even sent an appeal to the US Supreme Court. Ultimately, didn’t win, but it was a big thorn in their side. It was worth the effort.”

“I’d let karma work it out.”
