Facebook staff have reportedly been instructed not to fact-check former president Donald Trump. Trump announced on Tuesday evening he's running for president in 2024.

The memo reported by CNN explained that some Facebook employees had requested guidance around fact-checking politicians ahead of Trump's speech on Tuesday evening. Meta suspended Trump's Facebook and Instagram accounts in the wake of the Capitol riots on January 6, 2021.
☆ Facebook probably has your phone number, even if you never shared it. Now it has a secret tool to let you delete it.

Facebook almost certainly has your phone number and email address, even if you never handed them over. Now the firm has a new tool to let people check if Facebook has that data, and delete it. Meta/Shona Ghosh"You can ask us to confirm whether we have your phone number or email address," the firm states. It's possible that Meta isn't really technically deleting your phone number and emails at all, said Boiten. "It may well be that they only implement something like this on the outside — so at a point the phone number threatens to go outside the system, it says, 'This phone number is one we've been told we can't use,' rather than really removing information."

Mark Zuckerberg said Apple charges "as much as it can" for hardware in an interview with Stratechery's Ben Thompson. He's said his VR headsets are priced at the break-even point, or even a loss, for Meta. Zuckerberg has been in "deep, philosophical competition" with Apple since he announced his bid for the metaverse last year. "It's typically people build hardware and they try to make a profit off of it, where if you're Apple, you build hardware and you charge as much as you can for it," Zuckerberg said. Zuckerberg said that's Meta's newest VR headset, Quest Pro, is priced at just $1,500.

☆ Meta's new Quest Pro headset, mixing real and virtual worlds, makes debut

Meta/Handout via REUTERSOct 11 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms (META.O) unveiled its Quest Pro virtual and mixed reality headset on Tuesday, marking a milestone for Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg's break into the higher-end market for extended reality computing devices. The Quest Pro features several upgrades over Meta's existing Quest 2 headset, which overwhelmingly dominates the consumer virtual reality market. For fully immersive virtual reality, Meta has added tracking sensors to the Quest Pro that can replicate users' eye movements and facial expressions, creating a sense that avatars are making eye contact. PITCHING PRODUCTIVITYMeta is pitching the Quest Pro as a productivity device, aimed at designers, architects and other creative professionals. For now, that means the Quest Pro stops short of enabling the complex commercial applications Meta has suggested it wants its metaverse tech to support.

Nearly 60 years later, the market is flooded with chatbots of varying quality and use cases from tech companies, banks, airlines and more. Others, meanwhile, warn the technology behind AI-powered chatbots remains much more limited than some people wish it may be. While they used similar technology to the earlier, social chatbots, Khudanpur said, “you really couldn’t call them chatbots. )”Return to social chatbots, and social problemsIn the early 2000s, researchers began to revisit the development of social chatbots that could carry an extended conversation with humans. This refrain would be repeated by other tech giants that released public chatbots, including Meta’s BlenderBot3, released earlier this month.
