Meta's AI glasses just leaked—and they're wild
Meta's about to drop Hypernova smart glasses with a wrist controller (wild timing before Connect), while the largest ChatGPT study yet proves the AI adoption gap is actually shrinking and generating real economic wins.

Meanwhile, things got a little spicy in healthcare: Microsoft and Abridge are battling it out to solve physician burnout with AI documentation tools (yikes), even as researchers warn that AI companions optimized for likability might just outcompete actual human relationships. Bold move, incentives. If an AI companion can replace your best friend, should we even build it?
