Meta's Orion AR Glasses are Still Ugly

Artificial intelligence news, tools, and more.

Morning y’all!

The web was all up and about Meta’s new Orion AR glasses and my hot take is that they are ugly af. Sorry, not sorry. Until glasses become “cool” (I know, subjective) I simply don’t believe they are going to see mass adoption.

The reason that corrective lenses are a thing is because it’s not about the eye correction as much as it is the look, the feel, and the glam — there isn’t, quite literally, a one-size-fits-all.

The co-creator of Django shares his thoughts on AI:

• The FTC is cracking down on fake and deceptive AI claims.

• Google and hyper-personalization of ads. Oh fun.

• Mira Murati leaves OpenAI as well as 2 other senior leaders. And they are pivoting to a for-profit instead of a non-profit. This news seems to get buried under Meta’s announcements which may have been intentional.

Too funny. Way too funny.

• Pentagram, Pienso, democratizing AI?

• Artists proving their art isn’t AI.

• Vercel’s AI SDK 3.4 is released.

• Harvard’s research around using existing drugs for new, rare diseases.

• Prototype product ideas with AI, export to React or Figma.

• Music via text. Cool.

And that’s it folks! Have a great day!
