- Meta announced new Oakley smart glasses, featuring a limited-edition HSTN model for $499, with other styles starting from $399 later this summer.
- Aimed at athletes, these Oakley glasses provide IPX4 water resistance, double the battery life of Ray-Bans, and record video in 3K resolution.
- This launch marks Meta's entry into the performance eyewear category with EssilorLuxottica, offering various frame and lens options including prescriptions.
| 💰 Meta tried to buy Ilya Sutskever's $32 billion AI startup LINK
|
- Earlier this year, Meta tried to acquire Ilya Sutskever's AI startup Safe Superintelligence, reportedly valued at $32 billion, but Sutskever rebuffed the company's efforts.
- Ilya Sutskever, who launched Safe Superintelligence a year ago after leaving OpenAI, also rejected Meta's distinct attempt to recruit him for their team.
- Following its failed bid, Meta is hiring Safe Superintelligence's CEO Daniel Gross and Nat Friedman, also acquiring a stake in their NFDG venture firm.
| 🤖 Nvidia products could be made using humanoid robots for first time ever LINK
|
- Foxconn and Nvidia are discussing deploying humanoid robots at a new Houston factory for Nvidia AI servers, with deployment finalization expected in coming months.
- These humanoid robots are set to work by the first quarter of next year, when the Houston factory begins making Nvidia's GB300 AI servers.
- This marks the first Nvidia product made with humanoid robot aid and Foxconn's initial AI server factory using them on the production line.
| 💥 16 billion passwords exposed from tech giants LINK
|
- Researchers confirmed a massive data breach has exposed 16 billion login credentials, including passwords, thought to be the largest ever discovered by investigators.
- These login credentials, gathered by multiple infostealers, form 30 new datasets, providing fresh intelligence for attacks on services including Apple and Facebook.
- These compromised records, often structured with a URL, login details, and a password, impact online services from Apple, Facebook, Google, GitHub, and Telegram.
| 🚕 Tesla to launch 10 robotaxis in Austin LINK
|
- Tesla's Austin robotaxi service begins with only 10 Model Y cars, matching the lower end of the 10-20 vehicles CEO Elon Musk previously mentioned.
- This initial Austin fleet of ten cars will be geo-fenced, avoiding challenging roads, and monitored by remote teleoperators who can take control.
- Early availability of these Austin robotaxis is expected for company employees and invited guests, with general public access likely months away.
