GOOGLE KEEPS DELAYING GEMINI 3.5 PRO—AND THE AI HYPE CLOCK IS TICKING After months of enormous expectations, carefully placed teasers and breathless predictions about Google’s next major AI model, users were told Gemini 3.5 Pro was almost ready. Google had already unveiled the model at its I/O conference in May. CEO Sundar Pichai reportedly said it would arrive “next month.” That meant June. Simple enough—or so we thought. JUNE CAME AND WENT Google spent May presenting Gemini 3.5 Pro as its next frontier model: smarter, more capable and better equipped to handle difficult coding projects, long-running tasks and autonomous AI...

In a stark new report, Google’s threat intelligence team has revealed that AI-assisted cyberattacks have escalated dramatically, transforming from experimental tools into a full-blown industrial operation in just three months. Criminal groups and state-linked actors from China, North Korea, and Russia are now routinely leveraging commercial AI models—including Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, and OpenAI’s offerings—to discover vulnerabilities, generate malicious code, and scale attacks across software systems worldwide. The findings highlight AI’s dual-use nature: while large language models excel at coding and problem-solving, they are proving equally adept at exploiting weaknesses in everything from enterprise networks to critical infrastructure. Hackers use...
