Google's AI Confidence Problem

Hey folks,
The AI healthcare race hit three plot twists in one week. Google pulled AI Overviews from medical queries after a Guardian investigation found it was giving dangerous advice like telling pancreatic cancer patients to avoid high-fat foods, which experts say increases mortality risk. Days later, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Health, connecting medical records from 230+ patient portals. Then Anthropic counterpunched with Claude for Healthcare emphasizing HIPAA compliance by positioning itself as the "enterprise-grade" alternative to OpenAI's consumer play. Healthcare AI is too valuable to abandon, but the stakes demand accuracy over speed.

Let's dive in..

π€ Claude Cowork: Point It at a Folder and Let It Work
Anthropic launched Cowork, bringing Claude Code-style agents to everyday tasks giving Claude direct access to folders on your Mac. You designate a directory, assign tasks through normal chat, and Claude reads, edits, and creates files without you uploading or downloading anything. It's Claude Code's capabilities, but stripped of the coding interface.
Real examples of what people are using it for:
Organize chaos: point it at Downloads, and Claude creates folders by date (2026-01/), subfolders by type (Documents, Images, Videos), moves files accordingly, and deletes obvious duplicates
Create from scattered notes: give it a folder of meeting notes and screenshots, ask for an expense report or project summary, and it synthesizes everything into a structured document
Batch file operations: rename hundreds of files following a naming convention, extract data from PDFs into a spreadsheet, or consolidate information across multiple documents
The interaction model feels different from chat. You're not asking Claude to help you do something, you're delegating the entire task. "Sort this folder by project and delete anything older than 2024" works as an instruction. Claude plans the steps, executes them, and confirms when done. No terminal commands, no configuration files.
The risks: Claude can delete files if it misunderstands instructions. It operates with the same filesystem permissions you have, so mistakes affect real data. Anthropic recommends starting with non-critical folders while learning how it interprets tasks.
For your team: If your workflows involve repetitive file management, data consolidation, or organizing research materials, Cowork eliminates the manual busywork so just point it at the problem and describe what done looks like.

Together with The Deep View
Stop Drowning In AI Information Overload
Your inbox is flooded with newsletters. Your feed is chaos. Somewhere in that noise are the insights that could transform your workβbut who has time to find them?
The Deep View solves this. We read everything, analyze what matters, and deliver only the intelligence you need. No duplicate stories, no filler content, no wasted time. Just the essential AI developments that impact your industry, explained clearly and concisely.
Replace hours of scattered reading with five focused minutes. While others scramble to keep up, you'll stay ahead of developments that matter. 600,000+ professionals at top companies have already made this switch.

π Google's AI Confidence Problem

Google spent last week showing you exactly where it trusts AI and where it doesn't.
Gemini 3 took control over your Gmail inbox. A new sparkle icon appeared above "Inbox" with AI-curated sections: "Suggested to-dos" for bills and appointments, "Topics to catch up on" for everything else. Just Gemini deciding what matters in your email. The traditional inbox still exists as a toggle, but AI Inbox becomes the default for 3 billion users rolling out over the coming months.
Google added buy buttons directly into Gemini and AI Mode in Search through the Universal Commerce Protocol developed with Shopify, Etsy, Wayfair, Target, Walmart, and 20+ payment partners including Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal. When Gemini suggests a product, you can complete the purchase without leaving the chat.
Google quietly pulled AI Overviews from all medical queries when the Guardian published an investigation showing Google's AI Overviews were giving dangerous medical advice. Telling pancreatic cancer patients to avoid high-fat foods which guidance that experts say increases mortality risk. Providing test result ranges without accounting for age, sex, ethnicity, or individual health context.
Google trusts AI enough to reorganize 3 billion inboxes and process credit card transactions, but not enough to answer basic health questions. The difference is shopping mistakes are reversible. Wrong product recommendation? User returns it. Bad medical advice? User dies.
For your team: If you're building AI features, understand your failure domain before you ship. Commerce AI can afford 95% accuracy because mistakes reverse. Healthcare AI needs 99.99% because mistakes don't. Know which category you're in.

π― How to Organize Files with Claude Cowork
Stop manually sorting files. Let Claude Cowork handle the entire task from chaos to organized structure.

What you'll need:
Claude Max subscription ($200/year, macOS only)
Claude desktop app installed
A messy folder you've been avoiding
The process:
Download and install Claude from claude.com/download, then grant folder access to your target directory (start with Downloads or a non-critical folder)
Describe the outcome, not the steps. Instead of "create folders, then move files, then..." say:
Sort this folder by work type and date. Create numbered folders with descriptive names (01-Client-Work-2025/, 02-Personal-Projects/, etc.). Group related files intelligently. Put edge cases in a needs-manual-review folder. Delete obvious duplicates."Watch it work. Claude will analyze patterns, create folder structures, move files, and flag anything it's uncertain about for your review.
Critical warning: Claude operates with your full filesystem permissions. If you tell it to delete files, it will. No confirmation dialog, no undo. Test on non-critical folders first.

π€ Microsoft acquired Osmos to bring autonomous AI agents to data engineering. The agentic AI platform joins Microsoft Fabric to automate complex data workflows by ingesting messy data sources, mapping schemas, and transforming data without manual ETL pipelines.
π Anthropic enforces model access boundaries across the AI industry. The company cut off multiple competitors this year like xAI who lost Claude access through Cursor, Windsurf faced limitations amid acquisition rumors, and OpenAI was blocked last year. The pattern shows AI labs actively policing terms that prohibit using their models to train competing systems.
π LG unveiled CLOiD home robot at CES 2026 to eliminate household labor. The AI-enabled robot coordinates tasks across connected appliances like laundry, dishes, cleaning all powered by NVIDIA's Jetson Thor platform. Part of LG's "Zero Labor Home" vision where physical AI handles chores autonomously.
