Trump, Putin to meet in Alaska; US state once bought from Russia
US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to meet in the US state of Alaska on Friday, August 15, to discuss the future of the war in Ukraine. Trump announced the meeting on social media, while the Kremlin confirmed the date, noting that Alaska was a 'logical' choice given its relative proximity to Russia. Alaska's connection to Russia runs deeper than geography, the vast state was once Russian territory before being sold to the United States in a historic deal that reshaped the region. From Russian land to US state Russian control over Alaska dates back to the 18th century, when an expedition led by Danish navigator Vitus Bering, commissioned by Russian Tsar Peter the Great, discovered that the new land was not connected to Russia. The discovery of valuable sea otter fur opened the door to a lucrative fur trade, and the first Russian settlement in the region was established in 1784. Decades later, with sea otter populations nearing extinction and political fallout from the Crimean War, Russia became willing to sell Alaska. In 1867, then-US Secretary of State William Seward negotiated the purchase for $7.2 million. On October 18 of that year, the American flag was raised in Sitka, then the capital of Alaska, a day now celebrated annually as Alaska Day. Although the deal was initially mocked as 'Seward's Folly,' the later discovery of gold proved its strategic value. After a long path to statehood, Alaska officially became the 49th US state in 1959. The black gold that transformed Alaska Alaska's economy underwent a dramatic transformation in 1968 with the discovery of a massive oil field in Prudhoe Bay, estimated to hold around 13 billion barrels of reserves. Oil and gas quickly became the state's leading industry. In 1969 alone, Alaska earned $900 million from leasing land to oil companies. A major pipeline was built to transport crude oil across the state, forever changing its economic landscape. A lasting legacy: The Alaska Permanent Fund Recognizing that oil revenues would not last forever, then-Governor Jay Hammond established the Alaska Permanent Fund in 1976, setting aside a quarter of the state's oil royalties for future generations. Today, the fund is valued at over $65 billion. One of its most distinctive features is the Permanent Fund Dividend Program, launched in 1982, which distributes a portion of the fund's earnings annually to every Alaska resident who has lived there for at least a year. This program has helped lift between 15,000 and 25,000 people out of extreme poverty each year and regularly injects money into the local economy. Facts and figures about 'The Great Land'

Google's Gemini AI will get more personalized by remembering details automatically
Ammon News - Google is rolling out an update for Gemini that will allow the AI chatbot to 'remember' your past conversations without prompting. With the setting turned on, Gemini will automatically recall your 'key details and preferences' and use them to personalize its output. This expands upon an update that Google introduced last year, which lets you ask Gemini to 'remember' your personal preferences and interests. Now, Gemini won't need prompting to recall this information. As an example, Google says if you've used Gemini to get ideas for a YouTube channel surrounding Japanese culture in the past, then AI chatbot might suggest creating content about trying Japanese food if you ask it to suggest new video ideas in the future. A recent New York Times article connected ChatGPT's introduction of cross-chat memory in April to an increase in reports of 'delusional' chats, and last week, OpenAI said it was working on more safety guardrails to detect mental or emotional distress. You can turn off Gemini's memory update within the app's settings. You can turn off Gemini's memory update within the app's settings. Image: Google When asked about this issue, Google spokesperson Elijah Lawal said Google is 'constantly' trying to improve its safeguards. 'Our focus has been building a personal AI assistant, and Gemini learning your preferences is key to this,' Lawal said. 'Equally crucial is giving you easy controls to choose the experience that's best for you, so you can turn this feature on and off at any time.' Google will turn on this feature by default, but you can disable it by heading to your settings in the Gemini app and selecting Personal Context. From there, toggle off the Your past chats with Gemini option. Google will roll out this feature to its Gemini 2.5 Pro model in 'select countries' starting today, before eventually bringing it to more locations and its Gemini 2.5 Flash model. Google is making a change to its privacy settings, as well. In the 'coming weeks,' Google will rename its 'Gemini Apps Activity' setting to 'Keep Activity.' When you enable this option, Google will use 'a sample' of your file and photo uploads to Gemini to 'help improve Google services for everyone' starting on September 2nd, according to its blog post. Google notes that 'Keep Activity' will remain switched off if you've already disabled the 'Gemini Apps Activity' setting. Gemini won't reference conversations in temporary chats. You can also preserve privacy through a new 'temporary chats' option in Gemini. Temporary chats won't appear in your recent chats or your Keep Activity setting. Gemini also won't use these chats to personalize future conversations, nor will Google use them to train its AI models. Google will only save these conversations for 72 hours. The says temporary chats could come in handy for 'exploring private questions' or to prevent Gemini from referencing the details of the conversation in a future chat. The Verge
