Can AI Unlock the Secrets of the Ancient World? A few years ago, during one of California's steadily worsening wildfire seasons, Nat Friedman 's family home burned down. A few months after that, Friedman was in Covid-19 lockdown in the Bay Area, both freaked out and bored.

Roblox rolls out real-time AI translation for all users - is this the start of true global multiplayer? Metaverse platform Roblox is bringing a new AI translation tool online for its millions of users around the world, making it easier to communicate regardless of a player's native language.

YouTube says a Vision Pro app is 'on the roadmap'. Here's a little bit of an about-face: YouTube now says it has a Vision Pro app on its roadmap. I mean this literally, as YouTube spokesperson Jessica Gibby just emailed me the following statement: โWe're excited to see Vision Pro launch and weโre supporting it by ensuring YouTube users have a great experience in Safari. We do not have any specific plans to share at this time, but can confirm that a Vision Pro app is on our roadmap.โ By Nilay Patel via The Verge
๐: The best part of this XR war. Is when Samsung/Google comes with a headset that integrates Android. And โMetaโ with a 10 year head start and 100 billion loss, still loses. Why? Simply because they treated devs like absolute trash and ran a predatory store with zero transparency. - CIX (@cixliv)
Meta Calls for Industry Effort to Label A.I.-Generated Content. Last month at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Nick Clegg, president of global affairs at Meta, called a nascent effort to detect artificially generated content โthe most urgent taskโ facing the tech industry today. On Tuesday, Mr. Clegg proposed a solution. Meta said it would promote technological standards that companies across the industry could use to recognize markers in photo, video and audio material that would signal that the content was generated using artificial intelligence.
