Meta is rolling out a new feature called 'spaces' to all users of its Muse AI assistant, letting people build app-like dashboards for tasks such as shopping, school schedules, music tracking or trivia games. Users create a space by describing it to Muse, can edit it through conversation or direct interaction, and can connect it to other apps so pricing, dates and other details update automatically. Spaces can be pinned to a sidebar, moved to the main tab, or scheduled to appear at certain times, and the rollout includes a specialized version of Meta's Muse Wonder AI model.

Physicist Robert Davies, in an analysis for the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, estimates that the $70 billion Wonder Valley data center project in Alberta would produce a daily thermal load of 16-18 gigawatts — comparable to roughly 23 Hiroshima-sized bombs. The facility, backed by investor Kevin O'Leary, would run on nine gigawatts of on-site natural gas power rather than grid electricity, and sits near land considered traditional territory of the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation. Alberta's government has exempted the project from a full provincial environmental impact assessment.
