Images of Instagram’s Twitter competitor have allegedly been leaked, and it is referred to as a new text-based app for conversations. You won’t need a separate login, just use Instagram credentials. Once logged in, all of your followers, profile information, and verification is transferred over.
There’s Epic Games’ Metahuman Animator, and the Meta AI’s Animated Drawings. Developed by the Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) team, this open source, web-based tool can create an animation starring a character from drawings in less than a minute. Rsearchers collected 1.6-million drawings within the first few months of releasing the demo to improve their model’s performance.
You could climb El Capitan in virtual reality, or use the new Wist app to interact with real memories. Simply download the app (currently in beta), record a video, and then watch it be turned into a 3D memory that can be interacted with using a virtual reality headset such as the Meta Quest 2. Think of this as Black Mirror’s The Entire History of You episode brought to life.

Remember the canceled Meta Smartwatch project last year? A new version of the wearable is allegedly still in development, and it still has dual cameras. No confirmed specifications have been revealed, although it should run a custom version of Android.
All good things must come to an end, or at least that was the case with the Meta Galactica AI bot. Put simply, it was a large language model for science capable of summarizing academic literature, solve math problems, generate Wiki articles, write scientific code, annotate molecules / proteins, and much more. Unfortunately, not all of it was accurate, and thus the plug was pulled.
Mark Zuckerberg revealed the Meta Quest Pro VR headset after months of leaks today at Meta Connect.

Mark Zuckerberg has tested several prototypes these past few months, but this new leak teases the Oculus Quest Pro VR’s mixed reality passthrough mode. It was originally leaked by Premint, an NFT platform, before they promptly removed the short clip from their website.
The Google Glass successor is set to give Mark Zuckerberg’s upcoming Meta Quest 3 VR headset a run for its money. There have been several leaks in the past few months, namely from Brad Lynch, and the Meta Quest 3 will have many of the same features as the Quest Pro, including a four-camera array and depth sensor.
Microsoft Mesh may not be ready for a while, and that’s why Mark Zuckerberg is teasing what his upcoming Quest Pro VR headset is capable of. He teased a fencing demo with Olympic gold medalists Gerek Meinhardt and Lee Kiefer in a mixed reality environment, complete with scoreboard as well as the foil.
Text-to-Pokemon is fun for fans of the franchise, but Meta’s Make-A-Video provides countless hours of fun. This AI model essentially learns what the world looks like from paired text-image data and how it moves from video footage with absolutely no associated text.
