Meta has ditched the pink/purple hued design it introduced in 2020 and replaced it with a more boring version.
The new design looks similar to previous all blue Messenger logos, which may be part of Mark Zuckerberg’s plan to “get back to some OG Facebook.” Or perhaps this is the “masculine energy” he thinks we’re deprived of?
Google says it will roll out new screen-sharing and live video capabilities (seen below) to “Gemini Advanced subscribers as part of the Google One AI Premium plan on Android devices later this month.”
The features fall under the search giant’s “Project Astra” multimodal AI assistant, allowing users to ask Gemini questions about what’s on their device screen.
A 60-day stay request made by Justin Sun and the SEC on Wednesday to “allow the Parties to explore a potential resolution” has been approved by a federal judge. The SEC lawsuit filed in 2023 accused Sun and three of his companies of illegally distributing crypto assets, market manipulation, and concealing payments to celebrity spokespersons.
Sun has since pumped $75 million into World Liberty Financial, a crypto project backed by the Trump family.
The AI video generator can only be accessed by users who are subscribed to ChatGPT’s Plus ($20/£20 per month) or Pro ($200/£200 per month) tiers. Sora being rolled out to the UK comes as creatives in the country are fighting against government plans to embrace generative AI by weakening copyright protections.
Some Instagram users experienced an error within the last few days that flooded their personal Reels feeds with violent and NSFW imagery, some (but not all) of which was hidden behind content warnings.
Meta says it has since fixed the error and apologized for the mistake that exposed Reels users to content “that should not have been recommended” — which, according to 404Media, included footage of animal abuse, gun violence, dead bodies, and outright gore.
