#Meta executives initially denied the existence of a #facialrecognition feature, #NameTag, in their #AIGlasses. However, CTO Andrew Bosworth later described the feature in detail, contradicting previous statements. The feature, which would be encrypted and localised to the user’s device, aims to help users remember people they’ve met, addressing the “cocktail party problem.“ https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/meta-exec-describes-facial-recognition-feature?Metaver.se #Metaverse #VirtualWorlds #XR #VR #MR #AR #BeyondPictures

"I can’t tell if Zuckerberg is dimwitted or just evil. The problem during the first era of the AI boom (circa 2023) was indeed that Meta was too slow to identify the metaverse flub. But that was no longer Meta’s problem entering the agentic coding era: The problem, rather, was that Meta had no coherent strategy. The last thing it should’ve done was “move fast enough to adopt” because “adopting” was not the answer to Meta’s problems. AI-assisted programming has developed in the last six months — contrary to Zuckerberg’s claim that it “hasn’t really accelerated” — but indeed not in the way Meta expected, because Meta’s vibes-based management this time was just plain wrong. AI never had the potential to replace so many workers at an instant. The vibe was — unlike in 2023 — not late, but wrong entirely. And I’m confident in saying only a fool could have lent credence to that laughably incorrect theory." https://eshumarneedi.com/2026/07/03/zuckerberg-admits-metas-layoffs-were.html #Meta #AI #Metaverse #AIBubble #BigTech #SiliconValley

Work has been resumed on establishing connections between the Fediverse and the likewise decentralised metaverse, i.e. OpenSimulator. For now, the only feature that's actually implemented is sending OpenSim group messages out via ActivityPub. However, it has been tested against the opposite end of the Fediverse from Mastodon: Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte. https://codeberg.org/fionasweet/OS-AP https://opensimworld.com/post/128355 #Long #LongPost #CWLong #CWLongPost #FediMeta #FediverseMeta #CWFediMeta #CWFediverseMeta #Fediverse #Hubzilla #Streams #(streams) #Forte #ActivityPub #OpenSim #OpenSimulator #Metaverse #VirtualWorlds
