futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-20 15:15:50

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." Another demo involved content creator and amateur chef Jack Mancuso

Meta’s New Smart Glasses Got a Subtle Name Change. It Speaks Volumes About What’s Wrong With Them

wired.com Verity Burns 2025-09-25 07:00:00

In the early days of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg and his team famously adopted the motto “Move fast and break things.” Posters with the phrase reportedly adorned the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters, alongside other, similar sentiments like “Done is better than perfect,” and “Fail quicker.” The focus for the young company was clear: Being first was more important than getting it right first time. As the company grew, Zuckerberg—in an interview with WIRED— started to distance himself from, or

Tesla exec says the company will redesign door handles that reportedly pose safety risks

Yesterday, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into Tesla following a report by Bloomberg that its electric door handles could stop working when a vehicle's low-voltage battery fails. That created a safety hazard that the publication found could trap passengers when a Tesla car was in an emergency situation, such as a crash.

The World’s Biggest Iceberg Is Finally Crumbling

Just months ago, the world’s largest iceberg weighed about a trillion tons and covered an area nearly the size of Anchorage, Alaska. Now it’s less than half that—and rapidly disappearing. In recent weeks, massive chunks of ice measuring up to 250 square miles (400 square kilometers) have sloughed off the “megaberg” known as A23a. Smaller pieces float freely in the surrounding waters too, many of them still big enough to threaten ships. The iceberg’s disintegration has reduced its total area to
