Meta’s AI glasses are gaining a reputation as creepy technology. The company hopes to change that opinion by announcing an update that will disable the camera if the LED light that indicates the glasses are recording is tampered with. The move appears to be a concession to consumer sentiment that glasses are not just a fun, fashionable accessory that Kylie Jenner happily promotes, but have serious implications for consumer privacy: Glasses can be misused as surveillance devices. But while Meta is touting new protections this week, it’s also promoting products and features that require users to surrender more of their…

If you want to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI), a large language model is simply not what you need.

The company just closed a $320 million round, adding Courtuet, Eric Schmidt, and researchers from MIT and Google DeepMind to its list…
