Meta wants us to trade in smartphones for smart glasses.  Zuckerberg spoke at Meta Connect 2025. He said phones reduce the sense of presence among people.  The product: Meta Ray-Ban Display. It has cameras, speakers, microphones, and an AI helper. The display is placed so it won’t block your view. It shows apps like Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, plus maps and live translation.  Meta also showed a wristband. The band picks up signals from your hand and brain when you make a gesture. You can write text without speaking. Just move your fingers like writing.  Zuckerberg said he could type about 30 words per minute with that setup. Research shows people type about 36 words per minute on a phone. Average users with Meta’s system get around 21 words per minute.  Meta has lost a lot of money since 2020 in its Reality Labs division. But this project shows what some of that money has been going into.  Meta hopes these glasses will compete with Appl...

Thomas Wolf, co-founder and chief science officer at TechCrunch Hugging Face, spoke at Disrupt 2025. He focused on making AI open, shared, and fair.  He began by asking who builds AI, who shares it, and who scales it. He said that AI should not be only inside closed labs or held by big firms.  Wolf believes open source and global cooperation will shape AI’s future. He thinks moonshot experiments and shared research play large roles.  He noted that open tools and libraries let many people try ideas. He pointed to his work at Hugging Face.  Wolf co-founded Hugging Face. He helped build the Transformers and Datasets libraries. He led the BigScience Workshop. That work produced BLOOM, a large language model.  He also wrote resources for how folks learn AI and build it. Among them are Natural Language Processing with Transformers and The Ultra-Scale Playbook.  Wolf argued for openness in both research and practice. He wants models that anyone can us...

What happened Nvidia is buying $5 billion worth of Intel common stock.  Price per share is $23.28.  This makes Nvidia one of Intel’s larger shareholders (roughly 4-5%).  What Intel and Nvidia will work on together They plan to co-develop chips for data centers and personal computers.  Intel will design custom x86 CPUs for Nvidia’s AI infrastructure.  Intel will also build system-on-chips (SoCs) that include Nvidia’s RTX GPU chiplets for PCs.  Why this matters Intel's stock jumped ~25-30% after this news.  It gives Intel a strong boost. The company has struggled recently.  For Nvidia, this move brings its GPU tech even closer to CPUs. That may help improve performance in AI setups.  Potential risks or unknowns It’s not certain when these new Intel-Nvidia chips will reach the market .  Integration of CPU and GPU work, especially combining them in consumer-level chips, is technically tough. Regulatory approval might be required...
