You only need to save my phone number," the AI responded in Spanish — before sharing my phone number. Someone in this WhatsApp group had asked Meta AI for its phone number — and again it shared my number. It had replied that it did, and Maxi simply had to message a phone number — my phone number — to access the content. Since I asked Meta's communications team for help, I haven't received any more messages from people looking for Meta AI. Another time, Meta AI said it didn't have a phone number (it actually does, +1 313-555-0002, although it doesn't advertise it publicly).

The next three races are in Texas, Mexico and Brazil where Perez can count on strong support as the only Latin American driver. "I think we really need to sit down with Checo (Perez)because we know what he’s capable of and he’s not hitting that form at the moment," Horner told reporters. "We desperately need him to find that form to keep this second place in the championship. Perez and Verstappen were level 2-2 on wins until Miami, when Verstappen started a run of 10 wins in a row. We’ve done that and the next best thing after that would be to have both your drivers first and second," said Horner.

Feb 20 (Reuters) - Several teams have approached Honda about a partnership when Formula One's new engine era starts in 2026 but no decision has been taken about future involvement, the Japanese manufacturer said on Monday. Honda have an agreement to build engines in Japan for world champions Red Bull and sister team AlphaTauri but that will end in 2025. "That is why we have decided to register as manufacturer of a power unit," he explained. "Last year I believe all the power unit manufacturers prioritised performance in their development, and so did we," said Kakuda. He said Honda had further optimised control and energy management and worked with suppliers to improve the precision of parts and power unit assembly.

LANGLEY, Va., Sept 24 (Reuters) - They like to call it 'the greatest museum you'll never see.' Tucked away in the corridors of its Langley, Virginia, headquarters, the revamped Central Intelligence Agency museum – while still closed to the public – is revealing some newly declassified artifacts from the spy agency's most storied operations since its founding 75 years ago. The hundreds of museum items, some of which have been on display since the 1980s, are all declassified. Neises said the agency does from time to time loan some to presidential libraries and other non-profit museums.
