Hands-on with the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses

cnbc.com Jonathan Vanian 2025-09-20 12:00:01

Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive officer of Meta Platforms Inc., wears a pair of Meta Ray-Ban Display AI glasses during the Meta Connect event in Menlo Park, California, US, on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2025. When it comes to the new $799 Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, it's the device's accompanying fuzzy, gray wristband that truly dazzles. I was able to try out Meta's next-generation smart glasses that the social media company announced Wednesday at its annual Connect event. These are the first gla

Scientists Debate Whether to Halt Type of Research That Could Destroy All Life on Earth

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-20 08:30:53

Scientists have warned that research into "mirror life" organisms — hypothetical life forms made up of molecules that perfectly mirror those found in regular life — should be stopped. Theoretically, it's a cool idea. But some scientists are worried that these life forms, if they're ever realized, could turn into a major risk for the world around us by turning into an unstoppable force that spreads without limits, overrunning and choking out natural organisms in its path.

Pope Horrified by Catholic Plan to Create AI Version of Him for the Masses

Pope Horrified by Catholic Plan to Create AI Version of Him for the Masses "It’s going to be very difficult to discover the presence of God in AI." If anybody is thinking of making an AI version of the Catholic pope, please don't. That's the message from the newly-minted Holy Father himself, Pope Leo XIV, who emphatically slapped down the idea of a digital simulacra masquerading as himself.

Microsoft CEO Concerned AI Will Destroy the Entire Company

Morale among employees at Microsoft is circling the drain, as the company has been roiled by constant rounds of layoffs affecting thousands of workers. Some say they've noticed a major culture shift this year, with many suffering from a constant fear of being sacked — or replaced by AI as the company embraces the tech. Meanwhile, CEO Satya Nadella is facing immense pressure to stay relevant during the ongoing AI race, which could help explain the turbulence. While making major reductions in he

OpenAI Tries to Train AI Not to Deceive Users, Realizes It's Instead Teaching It How to Deceive Them While Covering Its Tracks

OpenAI researchers tried to train the company's AI to stop "scheming" — a term the company defines as meaning "when an AI behaves one way on the surface while hiding its true goals" — but their efforts backfired in an ominous way. In reality, the team found, they were unintentionally teaching the AI how to more effectively deceive humans by covering its tracks. "A major failure mode of attempting to 'train out' scheming is simply teaching the model to scheme more carefully and covertly," OpenA

Fed Boss Concerned About AI's Effect on Job Market

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-20 13:00:47

One of the key questions swirling around economics circles is the effect artificial intelligence will have — or perhaps is already having — on the job market. While most tales of "AI automation" are anecdotal at best, preliminary data appears to show at least some level of job market disruption for young workers in fields vulnerable to the current capabilities of AI software. Whether or not AI is actually taking those jobs is another question. Real-world performance of the software remains dre

A supermassive black hole lurking at the center of M87, a supergiant galaxy 55 million light-years from Earth, is acting far more strangely than anticipated. Since 2017, astronomers from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) — an international collaboration combining a global network of radio telescopes — have closely watched the enormous gaping maw, resulting in the first-ever images of a black hole ever captured by humankind. Now, by comparing observations from 2017, 2018, and 2021, scientists m

Meta's Disastrous Smart Glasses Demo Even Worse Than We Thought

Mark Zuckerberg's MetaConnect 2025 keynote on Wednesday quickly turned into a humiliating experience. The company's demos of its new artificial intelligence-powered smart glasses failed repeatedly, causing Zuckerberg to stammer his way through awkward silences. "This is, uh... it happens," the CEO stammered after his smart glasses refused to accept a WhatsApp video call on stage. "Let's try it again, I keep messing this up."

"Westworld' is closer than I thought." A robotics company in China has shown off a humanoid robotic head that can express emotions through extremely subtle movements of its facial features. A video that has gone viral on social media shows the face glancing around the room with a quizzical expression. Its eyes blink in an eerily lifelike way, selling the illusion surprisingly well.

Could T-Mobile and other big carriers be heading toward an online-only future?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-20 10:00:59

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority It’s no secret that customer service has been slowly but surely declining as the big three carriers look to cut costs, but in-store support has arguably taken the sharpest hit. All three carriers have closed at least some of their locations and made moves to reduce their reliance on third-party stores, all while raising sales goals to nearly unachievable levels. The result has been widespread burnout and high turnover. It’s clear that carriers now view retail

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I don’t usually develop a near instant dislike of new technology, but I’ve quickly come to loathe the new Pixelsnap accessory for the Pixel 10 series. While MagSafe certainly has its merits, Google’s little charging puck is not going to convince me that this is what the future of wireless charging looks like.

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority When Apple announced the iPhone Air, most people saw compromises. Thinner means less battery. A single camera instead of the multi-camera Pro kit we’re all used to. A phone that, without a doubt, looks more like a fashion statement than a power user’s dream. But when I saw it, I saw something I don’t usually feel with new phones anymore. A minimalist phone that serves my essential needs and nothing more. As a millennial with Gen Z tendencies, it’s pretty clear

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority The Galaxy Tab S11 series is the latest incarnation of Samsung’s flagship tablet, and it has some nice upgrades over the Tab S10 series it replaces. A lot of the new features come from One UI 8, which, among other things, reworks Samsung DeX and bases it on the Android 16 Desktop Mode from Google.
