This week, it’s Meta’s turn to highlight ai during its devices event. In this episode, Devindra and Cherlynn dive into all the news from the Meta’s Connect 2023 event, where Meta ai and the accompanying celebrity-powered chatbots were unveiled. Oh yeah, and it also introduced Meta Quest 3 and the new Ray-Ban smart glasses. More than the metaverse and virtual reality, it’s actually ai that Zuckerberg wants to push across all Meta apps and devices.
And in other news, we discuss why the end of the WGA strike is a big deal for ai in Hollywood; Former Microsoft Executive Panos Panay Is Officially Heading to Amazon; and why the FTC is targeting Amazon for its potential e-commerce monopoly.
