Yesterday in AI | Thursday, May 14, 2026
Your cursor has done one thing for 50 years. Google just decided it should do a lot more.
Google just rebuilt the cursor. Amazon handed your shopping cart to an agent. And workers at some of the world's biggest tech companies are already gaming the AI metrics their bosses are tracking.
Today's episode covers seven stories: from a $2.1 billion bet on AI drug discovery, to a lawsuit accusing Meta of treating scam ads like a revenue instrument, to Hollywood's biggest names building something more concrete than a petition. There's also a product launch for legal teams that could finally make the "AI in our workflows" conversation real. Lots to get into.
