This is the sort of thing Zuck’s hoping you’ll ask the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. The company’s finally rolled out landmark recognition for its multimodal AI beta. You can watch it (and a few other demos) in Zuck’s latest Instagram post. Though, unlike Zuck, I don’t recommend asking AI to rate your onesies collection.
These watches hit a nice balance between style and function without bombarding you with information.
Here’s the story behind that photo of a bride giving her new Vision Pro-wearing husband the stink eye. Speaking to Futurism, the now notorious groom says:
“My wife was like, ‘We’re not taking photos in the Vision Pro,’ but I told her it was just for the meme.”
The bride says she wasn’t actually mad and gave the okay after everyone else left. That said, the Vision Pro “was the last thing [she] wanted pictures of.”
At least it wasn’t during the ceremony.
That’s a haunting thought, but the letter outlines principles for the responsible use of AI in designing new proteins (aka the building blocks of life). The fear is that AI could be used to generate new viruses or toxins. That said, the letter doesn’t seek to ban AI use completely — in fact the scientists say the benefits outweigh the harms. Rather, they’re hoping to regulate the actual equipment used to generate new genetic materials.

I dueled my HVAC and lived to tell the tale, but the smart lighting cold war is another story.
There’s a new Vision Pro update out, and visionOS 1.1 supposedly improves everybody’s favorite feature, Personas. But I think it’s still the stuff of nightmares. I FaceTimed my friend, and according to her: I still look too sleepy, my mouth moves more, and my eyes are better but not quite right.
“It looks more like you, but it’s still not you.” What do y’all think?
Prime members can get free shipping, and Oura’s Amazon store will sell six finishes of the Oura Ring Horizon and four finishes for the Oura Ring Heritage. Sizing kits and extra chargers are also available for $10 and $59 a pop.
This makes a lot of sense. Last year, Oura partnered with Best Buy to bring its rings to its retail stores. This feels like a natural continuation.
Usually, the health tech I see at CES is vaporware, but good news! Dexcom’s Stelo continuous glucose biosensor just got FDA clearance, making it the first ever to not require a prescription. Stelo is meant to help folks with Type 2 diabetes who don’t use insulin better manage their condition.
It’ll be available starting this summer. We still don’t know pricing, but when I spoke with Dexcom in January they said it was meant to be an affordable.
