Scale AI not 'winding down' following Meta deal, interim CEO tells employees and customers

cnbc.com Ashley Capoot 2026-03-17 09:03:50

Scale AI's Interim CEO Jason Droege said in a memo on Wednesday that the artificial intelligence startup is not changing course following Meta's multibillion-dollar investment in the company last week.

Meta is finally adding passkey support for Facebook and Messenger

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-17 09:25:49

Meta is finally adding passkey support for Facebook and Messenger on mobile devices. This should make for more seamless logins, as a passkey lets people sign in by using the same data they already use to verify their identities on a smartphone. This includes stuff like a PIN code, a fingerprint or a quick face scan. This is not only convenient, but more secure than traditional passwords. Passkeys are resistant to many types of malicious attacks, as they can’t be easily guessed or stolen. This w

Elon Musk’s xAI Is Reportedly Burning Through $1 Billion a Month

Elon Musk has promised that his AI business, xAI, will help to revolutionize society. Before it can do that, however, the company is going to need to become fiscally viable—a goal it hasn’t quite met yet. Indeed, at the current moment, the company seems to be burning through cash at a rate that, in any other industry, would be entirely unsustainable.
