If you were looking for the worst AI project announced so far this week, try Meta. According to a Financial Times report, the company is developing its own Mark Zuckerberg AI<\/a>, training it on Zuckerberg\u2019s mannerisms, tone and publicly available statements. AKA, the good stuff. (Will it smoke meats<\/a>?)<\/p>\n

The company has reportedly been working for some time on creating photorealistic, 3D-animated AI characters that can manage interactions. However, it now appears to be focusing on this Zuckerberg AI character, which would interact with employees in his stead. Yeesh. Remember when the Meta boss introduced legs to the metaverse? Hopefully, a backbone is in the works soon.<\/p>\n

Dozens of civil rights organizations have written a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg<\/a> warning of the dangers posed by adding facial recognition technology<\/a> to the company\u2019s smart glasses. More than 70 groups have urged Zuckerberg to abandon plans to incorporate the tech on the grounds that it would empower stalkers, sexual predators and other bad actors. They also want the company to disclose past or ongoing discussions with federal law enforcement agencies, including ICE, about the use of Meta smart glasses and other wearables, according to a report by Wired.<\/p>\n

Adding to the grossness of all this, according to The New York Times, Meta issued an internal memo last year suggesting it could roll out this technology \u201cduring a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.\u201d In short, attempting to add the feature when pushback would be limited or unfocused. The coalition called this \u201cvile behavior\u201d that looks to take advantage of \u201crising authoritarianism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Microsoft is eyeing changes to its gaming sub.\"TMA\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Xbox\u2019s new chief exec, Asha Sharma, reportedly wrote in a memo to employees that the current pricing of the Game Pass subscription service might be too high. According to the note, seen by The Verge: \u201cShort term, Game Pass has become too expensive for players, so we need a better value equation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Microsoft raised the price of Game Pass twice in 15 months, and many Xbox exclusives have made their way to rival PlayStation. Game Pass continues to add games: the April update adds indies like Hades 2 and Double Fine-project Kiln alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The Verge reports the addition of the CoD franchise might have contributed to Game Pass price increases, as in the past, buying the game at retail value was less favorable than a one-month subscription.<\/p>\n

And another one.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a real connected-story edition of TMA today. Bloomberg reports Apple could reveal its smart glasses by the end of this year, and it\u2019s already testing four eyewear styles. Apple is reportedly mulling over a large rectangular frame comparable to Ray-Ban Wayfarers, a slimmer rectangular design, like the one Apple CEO Tim Cook wears, as well as an oval or circular frame in large and small iterations. Apple is also working on a selection of colors.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s upcoming smart glasses will compete directly with the second-gen Ray-Ban Meta model. While similar, Apple might be differentiating its design with \u201cvertically oriented oval lenses with surrounding lights,\u201d according to the report. Apple\u2019s upcoming product will capture photos and videos but is meant to play better with iPhones, so users can take advantage of Apple\u2019s ecosystem for editing, sharing and more.<\/p>\n
